Dorm Room Essentials

Moving into a dorm room is an exciting milestone for any college student. Making your space feel like home is essential, and having the right essentials can make all the difference. At The Painted Cottage, we’ve curated a selection of must-have items to ensure your dorm experience is both stylish and comfortable.
1. Scout Bags: Practical and Stylish

Scout bags are a dorm room staple. Made locally in DC by a woman-owned company, these bags are known for their durability and affordability. Whether you need travel bags, cosmetic bags, or ID cases, Scout has you covered. Their vibrant designs and sturdy materials make them perfect for the hustle and bustle of college life.
2. Comfort and Self-Care

College can be stressful, so it’s important to have some comfort items on hand. Our Warmies are perfect for college students. These adorable plush items can be heated or frozen, making them ideal for soothing aches or providing comfort when you're feeling under the weather. We also offer a range of spa items that can be heated or frozen to help you relax and unwind.
