It’s no secret that the majority of college dorms aren’t super luxurious, and usually don’t have a ton of space or a functioning kitchen – which, for someone who loves making and enjoying a good meal, can be a bummer. Luckily, IKEA makes upgraded dorm living easy with great supplies to make your dorm *the* spot this semester. Check out everything you need for your college dorm and the products you definitely won’t regret adding to your college packing list!
