Dorm room furniture has remained the same for many years. It’s possible the same furniture our parents had when they were in college is the same as it was for the most recent graduates. As times and technology change, it’s necessary for dorm room furniture to evolve as well. No longer are filing cabinets used to hold actual files. By updating and modernizing dorm room furniture space can be better used for student housing and the residents that call these tiny rooms home.
We all have a similar vision of what to expect when thinking about dorm room furniture. Bunk beds or high captains beds, a small wooden desk, a wardrobe used both to hold clothing as well as give privacy when changing next to a roommate. What if the next generation had a different idea? Something a little more modern that better executes the space?
