Dormy is the easiest way to plan a college dorm room, from the packing list to what the room will actually look like. A COLLEGE PACKING LIST THAT IS ALREADY WRITTEN Open Dormy and your dorm essentials checklist is waiting: bedding (yes, Twin XL), bath, storage, laundry, desk, tech, kitchen, decor, and the documents everyone forgets. Check things off as you buy and pack, add anything specific to your school, and keep an eye on the countdown to move-in day. The checklist is free forever. No account, no sign up. SEE THE ROOM BEFORE YOU MOVE IN Describe the room you want, or upload a photo of your actual dorm, and get a finished design back in seconds. Choose a vibe: cozy, minimal, bold, preppy, or earthy. Every design saves to your gallery, so you can compare looks, share them with a roommate, and agree on a plan before anyone spends money on a rug. MADE FOR STUDENTS, AND FOR THE PARENTS HELPING OUT Tell Dormy who is planning and it adjusts. Students get a checklist paced to move-in day. Parents get a clear view of what still needs buying. Share the list, split the work, and stop trading screenshots back and forth. WHY FRESHMEN KEEP IT ON THEIR HOME SCREEN • Real dorm research, not an empty list you have to fill in yourself • Works for singles, doubles, suites, and small spaces in general • Fast, quiet, and clutter free, in light or dark mode • Your first room design is on us Unlimited room designs require a Pro subscription.
