AliExpress Was Made for Last-Minute Dorm Shopping—Check Out Our Favorite Finds

In a dorm where storage is scarce (what do you mean there’s no closet???), this space-saving shoe rack is a must-have. Not only is it incredibly practical, but it also adds a stylish touch to your space.

This expandable shelf is a handy storage solution for a dorm room. Even if there’s no microwave, you can place this on top of a desk or any other flat surface to immediately add extra space.

A less-exciting purchase, perhaps, albeit extremely useful, because there are never enough outlets in a dorm room—IYKYK.

Again, with a lack of storage space, clothes and shoe storage can be a hassle—which is why this under-the-bed storage bag comes in handy. It is absurdly spacious (like, “did you bring your entire wardrobe?” big), making it perfect for overpackers and anyone in denial about living minimally.

Some cute lighting in a dorm room is a must, because that super bright, cool-toned overhead light just doesn’t cut it for a late-night study sesh.

The linoleum tile floors in a dorm are straight-up not cute, so we suggest adding a rug like this one for some cozy-chic vibes. Even better? It’s completely washable, so it can handle whatever dorm life throws at it.

Not only are these colorful wall hooks super cute, but they’re also super easy to install (and will match perfectly with the mid-century modern lamp, wink wink).

As mentioned, storage can be scarce in a dorm room, and sometimes getting creative becomes a necessity—but this ottoman built with storage in mind is the perfect affordable solution.

Wait, we so wish we had this in college. Keep this foldable, mini washing machine in a dorm room for any last-minute laundry needs.
