Living in a New York City apartment is kind of like living in a college dorm room. You don't have a lot of space, and you're surrounded by other people. So when it's time for students to head back to school, I start keeping an eye on what people are adding to their dorm room checklist. That's because dorm life essentials are typically space-saving, super cute, and affordable. So if you live in an apartment, I've rounded up the best dorm room essentials that are hella convenient for anyone living in a small space. 

Because when you don't have a lot of room, you have to make use of what you have. Buying bed risers can give you that vertical space for some storage cubes. A cute magnetic key holder makes use of wall space. Capitalize on your living space with floating neon shelves. The home decor options are endless.

From bed risers to a small desk lamp, a rotating desk organizer to a handy closet organizer, these are the best dorm room essentials that are convenient for people living in small spaces. Because why should college students get all the cute home decor and space-saving must-haves?

A Closet Organizer That Can Hold A Lot 

I've never lived in a NYC apartment with more than 2 closets, so I'm always on the search for ways to maximize my closet space. These 2 organizers (with 10 clips per hanger) are perfect for hanging leggings, skirts, pants, socks, and more, in a way that doesn't take up a lot of room.

A Single Serve Coffeemaker That Comes in Cute Colors

Snag this single-serve coffeemaker in bright orange, cyan, green, red, and more. Not only does it brew a delicious cup of joe in minutes (using K pods), but it also measures just 7.4 x 9.06 inches and costs less than $40.
