Walmart’s College Essentials

Before the school year even begins, many college students are met with their unofficial first assignment on the way to discovering who they want to be, which is curating their undergraduate aesthetic. Whether you’re returning for another year or just starting your college career, we know that building your own perfect space and look for the coming year can be stressful. But, fear not—we’ve got you covered with our ins for the upcoming school year to spark some inspiration for your ideal vibe and have people asking you, “Where did you get that?”

A Good-Smelling Space

We can’t stress enough how underrated this is! Having an aromatic space not only keeps you and your belongings smelling fresh but also calms your mind and relaxes your body. Plus, whether you have friends, a date, or your family over, the scent of your space is its first impression, so making sure it’s a good one is essential to the curation of your room’s vibe. Our favorite scents are: balsam and cedarwood, cashmere teak, cozy comfort, and sandalwood jasmine. 

Pro Tip: If you can’t burn them, melt them! The DAYBETTER Candle Warmer Lamp doubles as both a decorative light and a candle warmer.

Rugs!

One of the simplest ways to elevate your space is with a rug. A dorm room can look pretty bleak, but a nice, colorful rug will go a long way in both making your space look bigger and adding some additional personal flair. 

Here are some rugs we love: 

Staying Organized

You know what they say about the state of your room representing the state of your mind. Stay at the top of your cleanliness game by keeping your belongings organized—in style!

  • 3-Tier Organization Cart. Perfect for your trinkets and smaller belongings. There’s not much space inside a dorm room, so this is an effective way to fit in some additional storage! Pro tip: plaster it with your favorite stickers to truly make it yours.
  • Rotating Desk Organizer. Never lose your pens again with one of these! Trust us, your future self will thank you. 
  • Over-The-Door Organizer. Commonly neglected, the door is another valuable piece of dorm real estate that you can use to store your belongings, like your backpack and other accessories!

Practical Decoration

Show off your closet and have it double as functional storage. A standing garment rack is the perfect addition to your dorm room! Use it to hang your most coveted pieces of clothing, or get a clothing rack with shelves to showcase your trinkets, too.

Being the Main Character

Rest assured, there will be many a study sesh in college. But, don’t despair! With a good soundtrack and some Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones, any study session can become an opportunity for you to embrace your inner main character. 

Pro Tip: Study at a cafe for maximum mysterious main character energy.

Embracing Your Inner Fashionista

College is the perfect time for you to grow into yourself. One of the best ways to explore this personally is through fashion; what you wear says a lot about who you are! Whether you’re continuing along your stylistic path, reinventing yourself, or just trying to step out of your comfort zone, here are some aesthetic lookbooks we’ve put together to help get you started.
