Dorming with Style

January 18th, 2008

As a recent university grad, I find that the images of dingy and disorganized dorms are still fresh in my mind. No matter what size the dorm room was, my pals all had the same problems: not enough space and way too much dirty laundry peeking out from under the bed.

Luckily for soon-to-be-undergrads like yourselves, designers are creating weird and wacky ways to make the most of your living space. Check out the WARDROM (pictured right) by Paula Studios, for instance. After a long day of lectures and study groups you and your roomie can come home and toss the day’s apparel at the WARDROM. You can use it to either keep your dirty laundry all in one place (kind of gross) or simply as an unusual coat rack (kind of neat!). Hang your favorite jackets and bags within easy reach and you’ll be ready to go even when you’re running late. And at the very least it’ll keep you from living in a sea of clothing for the next nine months.

Since there’s no word on the product actually being marketed in the U.S. you might want to make do with your own homemade WARDROM in the meantime, or you can check out some CollegeBound Network tips on organizing your space and creating an ultra hip dorm room in the process.
