Moxii has several tips for getting prepared to make the move and some great products that will definitely bring lots of personality and functionality to your space!
1. Get Ahead:
Oddly enough, most high school grads tend to wait to the very last minute to put together the essentials for their new college home, so try to make it easier on yourself and get ahead of the game this year. Moxii is a great to place to start looking!
2. If You’re stumped, Get Help:
This is one of Moxii’s biggest goals, to not only provide quality products for college living, but also be a great resource for those of you who may not have a clue where to begin.

3. Know Your Space:
Before you make your way off to your new place for the next few years, know how much space you’ll have, what you can bring, and coordinate with your roommate! Moxii also has access to most major university dorm floor plans to help you plan out your space a little more.
4. Decor Dilemma: Match or Coordinate?
This is one of the biggest questions asked when it comes to roommate living, especially in dorms. There’s really no right answer because your space could look great either way! It comes down to whether you want your dorm room to look the same on both sides or a little different but still cohesive throughout. Talk to your roommate and decide what would best work out between the two of you and start from there!
5. Organization Counts:
Another great but often overlooked issue to think about when it comes to small living space is organization. Making the most of your space is often solved by making the most space you can in a tiny environment. So to help solve that problem, Moxii offers a full line of organizational products, from under the bed storage boxes to shower caddies and shoe organizers.
Overall, one of the keys to a successful transition to the college life is preparation for that wonderful space that you’ll call home for the next few years. Make the most of it by letting Moxii help create the perfect space for you! Keep checking the blog for helpful tips for dorm and design!
