Exclusive Interview with Sabrina Soto: How To Maximize Your Dorm Space

Let’s be honest, dorm rooms can be tiny. Add in some beds, a few desks, roommates, and suddenly it’s like you’re living in a sardine can. But this year, that’s not going to be the case. Instead, we’re saying goodbye to tightly packed spaces, and hello to cozy, comfortable dorm rooms—believe it or not, they do exist! Earlier this week, I had the pleasure to talk about maximizing dorm space with Target Style Expert for Home and HGTV designer, Sabrina Soto. Check out the video below to learn all of Sabrina’s tips for designing your dorm room!

Sabrina loves all things with color, print, and patterns, and I couldn’t agree with her more! But even better than that hot pink toaster, are the multi-functional pieces that Sabrina recommends. With bungee chairs, lamps with shelves, and bed risers, you can turn any dorm into the spacious palace every collegiette deserves. Mix and match bright colors to make your room pop, and then you’ll really be living like royalty.

But where exactly do you begin? UStyler, of course. There, you’ll be able to pull together different products and design your ideal dorm room. After you’ve finalized the perfect look, you can shop everything you’ve picked, or share it with friends.

So just remember collegiettes, when it comes to decorating, Target has all your back-to-school needs for one-stop-shopping. For more information on all things stackable, bendable, and storable, check out Target.com/College.
