What’s Your Function?

Dorms are a hassle. They are too small, too dirty, often too old and always too awkward of a space.

When designing a college dorm room, you always want functionality to be your priority. Whether it is a room shared by another roommate, a suite where there are more than four or more people living together, or you are by yourself, functionality is always key to creating a livable space.

You may be wondering what the term functionality refers to… let me break it down for you. When referring to interior design, functionality is how you use your space to better convenience your life.

Let’s say you move into your dorm room and the only place to put your bed is in front of a closet that you and your roommate have to share. This is not functional. Instead, you can move your bed in front of a window, so that you are not only using your space to serve a better purpose, but you are creating a space that is more functional.

College dorms are tricky and often times, you move in thinking you have a plan… the moment you show up to see your room, your plans have to change because the room is WAY smaller than you anticipated. It is all about functionality…

The more functional your space, the easier your life will become.
