For much of the country, we’re not out of the cold weather just yet so you need things to warm up your dorm! If your dorm room has subpar heating, old leaky windows, or just tends to get a bit too chilly for your liking, there are plenty of ways to warm up your dorm.

Warm up your dorm with these top products

Space Heater from Riomor

A space heater is sure to do the trick when you need to warm up your dorm room! This particular model from Riomor can oscillate 60 degrees, is portable, and fully electric. You can select from three mode settings: low heat, high heat, and fan which is actually cold air, making it perfect for year round or when you need a noise machine to get to sleep. And it’s small enough that students can bring it home during winter breaks and weekends to warm up their own room.

Before buying a space heater, always make sure they are allowed in your college’s dormitories. Some schools do not permit them or have very specific requirements.

Dorm rooms tend to have cold, tile floors. Something your feet probably don’t love first thing in the morning! Warm up your dorm the old fashion way – add a rug! These rugs from Rainlin bring the warm and fuzzy into any size dorm room. They’re non-slip and come in tons of different sizes. Plus you’ll love the 4 cm thickness making your dorm room even cozier.

These particular rugs come in 9 different colors: dark grey, black, dark blue and more. The colors and patterns may only be available for particular sizes, and different colors come in different materials. These all come in 10 year, no ask, guarantee.
