Quick Study 

Get in the work zone with an office nook worthy of Elle Woods and pink lovers everywhere. This velvet swivel chair gets extra points for style and comfort, while a hardworking laptop in your signature color will carry you through midterms and beyond. Upgrade your desk hydration station with a water bottle that boasts two flavor cartridges. And to stay ultra-focused, pop in these Beats Studio Buds that become noise canceling (a.k.a. roommate-proof) earbuds at the touch of a button. 

Party Prep 

For nights when fun is the top priority (whether staying in or going out), your space needs to channel party mode. A sunset projector lamp perfectly cues the vibe shift. Next, give your playlist the high-fi treatment (with the ease of Bluetooth) on an Audio-Technica wireless turntable. Grab a can of rosé from the mini-fridge (which comes complete with a crisper drawer and freezer), and throw down a statement area rug to kick off the dance sesh. 

Maximum Chill 

Ready for some serious down time? Ground yourself with earthy decor that creates a serene nest. This glass mushroom lamp instantly gives the room a glow up, and nature-inspired bedding keeps things cozy. Your friends can always crash in comfort thanks to an oat-hued sleeper sofa with built-in USB charger (which also comes in handy for group study sessions). All that’s left is to make a giant bowl of popcorn to fuel your latest series marathon.
