IT’S THE DORM ROOM DESK SET UP FOR ME. If you’re a college student moving into your (first) dorm, listen up! Having space to study and hang in your dorm room is essential, as just as essential as your desk area where you do all that. There are endless ways to making this area become an ideal dorm room desk spot!
Dorm Room Desk Ideas
My dorm room in college never had a desk, but one of my apartments did and I put it in the living room as an extra surface! Not all desks need to be used for their purpose, but if you choose to study in your room it would help! I was never someone who used a desk or needed one because I was weird and only studied on my bed (LOL). For most college students, having your own space and your own desk to set up and makes yours is the hope. That extra space really helps you to stay organized and have everything you need study-wise in one spot. Most dorm rooms come with a desk and for many, that’s the opportunity to create an area that will feel like home and a place you feel comfortable studying!
Dorm Desk Organization
Whether your dorm room comes furnished or not, there are countless dorm room desk and organization ideas to keep you living in a stress-free, organized, cute, homey space. Not everything needs to be displayed on a desk to look organized and be at easy access! From decorations to containers, to shelves, dividers, and much more, here are 15 awesome dorm room desk and organization ideas you will love! These apply to any dorm desk situation you may have and hopefully will inspire you to get creative and have fun organizing!

Anything that hangs on the wall and can be used to store your magazines, books, or school files is the best! This is something that can be out of your way but still at your desk. You won’t have to worry about having enough room on your desk.
