It’s that time again when parents and students from coast to coast are shopping for college dorm supplies, loading up cars, and packing boxes as they prepare for an exciting adventure, but also one that will come with some logistical challenges.

Dorm rooms are notoriously small and poorly appointed, and it’s almost a rite of passage to learn how to live in a tiny space with one, two, or possibly even three roommates. But innovative product designers, retailers, and creative people the world over have transformed dorm living, making it possible for college students to achieve both stylishness and order in their tiny spaces.
