It's hard to believe, but back-to-school season is here. As summer winds down, students everywhere are preparing for the upcoming school year, and that means it's time to start thinking about dorms and apartments. Whether you're a first-year student moving into a dorm or a returning student setting up a shared apartment, creating a comfortable study area, or designing a functional space, ReStore can help!

Creating a space that looks and feels like your own is both easy and affordable with ReStore. No matter the living space, our stores are filled with budget-friendly finds that don't sacrifice style.
Here are some ways you can craft the perfect space:
Opt for an armchair or a bean bag chair, perfect for relaxing after a long day of classes
Consider adding a throw blanket to make it even more comfortable and cozy
A desk with plenty of storage is important for keeping your books, assignments, and supplies organized
Look for desks with drawers or shelves to maximize space
An ergonomic chair for added comfort
Lamps with adjustable brightness settings accommodate any need
String lights make the perfect soft lighting for limited space
Keep your space clutter-free with storage options like shelving units, bins, storage ottomans, or under-bed storage boxes
Utilize wall space and display décor on mounted shelves
Add a decorative touch with wall art, posters, or a cool mirror
Throw pillows and rugs can also help tie the room together
ReStore’s inventory is always evolving, so every visit is a chance to discover new pieces so you can find everything you need to create a space that’s uniquely yours.
ReStore is also a great place to get the tools and materials needed to complete your dorm or apartment space, including paint and paint supplies, hand tools, light bulbs, nails and screws, floor mats, cleaning materials, and more.
Consider repurposing a vintage dresser with a fresh coat of paint, turning it into a statement piece for your room, or perhaps upcycling old picture frames into a creative wall display. The possibilities are endless, and our stores are filled with inspiration.
Plus, DIY projects are budget-friendly and a fun way to personalize your space while learning new skills. By repurposing and reusing materials, you're also reducing waste and giving new life to items that might otherwise be discarded. With ReStore, you're not just finding great deals—you're also shopping sustainably. All proceeds from ReStore help sponsor the building of Habitat homes for the local community.
