I remember my college dorm room very well. It was a small space, but I personalized it with various multi-functional products that made my space both attractive & practical. Are you gearing up for the back-to-college transition? Today, I’m going to show you why Big Lots is the perfect destination to find a wide variety of high quality back-to-college essentials! Whether you’re updating your college student’s bedroom at home or outfitting their dorm room for the school year, find out why Big Lots has everything you’ll need!
Back to College Essentials
The space I started with was just a plain white desk that held my computer, a lamp and some pens. Of course, I needed a lot more to make this space work for me!
Back to College Essentials
So I went online to the Big Lots website. There is such a wide variety of high-quality products for those that are college-bound, including mattresses, furniture, small appliances, bedding, sheets, pillows, throws, and more! The best part? Everything is a great value! Plus, the convenience of ordering online is fabulous! I love not having to deal with traffic, parking, crowds, etc. I can order everything I need from the comfort of home with the click of a button.

One day, I came home and found this on my doorstep: my new chair from Big Lots! I couldn’t wait to check out my new Aqua Mesh Desk Chair!
Back to College Essentials
I quickly assembled the chair, which was fast & simple! Check out my new chair- isn’t the aqua color gorgeous?! I love that the seat height is fully adjustable.

It’s really such a comfortable seat and it makes my desk space so inviting! With a reinforced nylon base, this chair is a comfy, secure place to sit. Since the chair is on casters, I can easily roll this around my home.

A few days later, I got everything else I ordered and I quickly set up my desk area! I love the way it all turned out. I can’t wait to share with you everything I got!

One of the must-haves for any college student is a great speaker! I ordered this Polaroid Wireless Stereo Speaker, because it’s portable and rechargeable! It’s a convenient way to enjoy some tunes while working!
Back to College Essentials
Syncing this speaker to my smartphone via Bluetooth was a breeze. The sound is rich and vibrant and I love the clean, elegant look of this wireless speaker box!
Back to College Essentials
Every desk needs a place to store files, so I added a simple file organizer to the desk. I also added an acrylic desk organizer to hold paper clips, sharpeners, tape, etc. Oh, and check out that gorgeous coral sign in the center of the table!
Back to College Essentials
No work space is complete without an inspirational, encouraging message. I picked up this wooden sign from Big Lots and I love the message “Follow your own path”. During college, and throughout life, it’s important to remember to be true to ourselves and not be swayed by others.

When it comes to cleaning, I always gravitate toward products that are convenient and effective! That’s why I love this Bissell Sweep up Cordless Sweeper for college students! There’s no cord to plug in and no dust pan to deal with, so it’s a convenient sweeper for everyday messes. It features a 7-brush system to pick up lint, crumbs and dirt from the floor!
Back to College Essentials
I love that I can use this on all floor surfaces and the handle lies flat under furniture.

I’m so happy with all the fashionable, trend-right products I picked up from Big Lots. This space is absolutely perfect for any college student now! Be sure to check out Big Lots online for your college essentials! Please note that styles and assortment vary by store.

I just love that video. We shopped quite a bit at Big Lots when my baby girl went to college! The prices are right and there is a nice big selection of the many things needed! We forgot the floor sweeper though, and that’s a must have! I need that mesh chair in my craft room!
The mesh chair is such a fun addition to a craft room!
