Getting an apartment as a college student is a big and exciting step. You are finally on your own and actually have a living room and kitchen, unlike dorms. Although, with an apartment you normally bring more of your belongings with you.

With more belongings, the more furniture for storage you will need. As a college student, you most likely cannot afford to buy all of your furniture, so the best option is to rent. Here are pieces of furniture you may need for storage in an apartment.

Coffee and End Tables

If you’re not the coffee table type and are more into being relaxed and comfortable, maybe an ottoman is the right piece of furniture for your apartment. The great thing about ottomans is that you can rest your feet up on them and also store things inside of them. They are perfect for those extra throws, blankets and pillows. You can store them right in the ottoman and then have easy access whenever you want to get cozy on the couch.

Media Table
