Back-to-School Stock-Up: Dorm Styling on a Budget

Move-in Season is here for collegiates, and whether you're a first-time freshman or a seasoned senior, stocking your dorm with stylish, durable, and budget-friendly essentials is a must. At Host & Home, we make it easy to upgrade your space without overspending. From cozy bath towels to eco-friendly bedding, here’s everything you need to create a comfortable and functional home away from home.

Essentials for the Bathroom

Let’s face it: dorm life means sharing spaces, tight schedules, and little time for doing laundry. That’s why it’s essential to start quality bathroom textiles.

  • Fast Dry Zero Twist 6-Piece Towel Set
    These lightweight, zero-twist towels are ultra-absorbent and dry quickly, perfect for back-to-back showers or gym and swim use.
  • Aston & Arden 6-Pack Turkish Bath Towels
    Want a touch of luxury for your dorm? These high-quality Turkish towels are soft, stylish, and crafted to last.
  • Makeup Towels
    Keep your white towels white! These sophisticated black face towels remove makeup without staining your everyday bath towels, saving you time on extra washes while impressing your friends!
  •  Bath Rugs
    Available in so many sizes and colors to fit any space, our bath rug collection offers a vibe for every style.

Cozy Dorm Sheets, Blankets, and Throws

Cozy sheets, blankets, and throws are a must-have for a good night’s sleep. Consider a matching throw blanket for chilly study nights or binge-watching your favorite show!

  • Family Essentials Bed-in-a-Bag Set
    This set includes a plush comforter, fitted and flat sheets, two pillowcases, and two matching shams, giving you everything you need to refresh your dorm in one package. Choose from six trending colors.
  • Aston & Arden Blankets and Throws
    Choose from a breathable eucalyptus and cotton blend, soft waffle weave cotton, or a thick chenille to keep you comfortable year-round.
  • Faux Fur for a Touch of Elegance
    Add texture and fun to any dorm room with a high-quality faux fur throw blanket. Choose from sophisticated grey mink jacquard texture, plush white cottontail style, or our Bronze Moon faux fox gradient design. For an opulent elegant vibe that is sure to impress your friends, mix all three styles!

Kitchenette Must-Haves

Even the smallest dorm kitchens need a few smart staples.

  • Kitchen Towels – 6 Pack
    These durable, classic kitchen towels are perfect for drying dishes, wiping spills, or adding a homestyle touch to your dorm kitchenette.
  • Mesh Back Microfiber Dish Cloths
    The Sloppy Chef® brand offers style and functionality in a 12x12” dishcloth with one side a soft colored microfiber debossed windowpane pattern and the other side is a non-abrasive mesh material for scrubbing surfaces, or tough dried food on dishware. Save time with this tough dishcloth.
  • Smart Rags Microfiber Cloths in a Pop-up Box
    Great for everything from cleaning your countertops to tackling unexpected messes, these reusable cloths in convenient dispenser boxes are your go-to solution for fast clean-ups. They come in seven colors for safe color-coded cleaning. Grab a box for the bathroom too!

Buy in Bulk and Save!

Buying in bundles isn’t just for big families—dorm students on a budget can save too. Pool your resources with friends and grab a 6-pack of towels, a pair of rugs, or extra kitchen towels to divvy up with your roommates. You’ll save money, stay stocked, and avoid an expensive last-minute run to the campus store.
