If you're messy and living in tight quarters, absolutely. As interior designer and head honcho at Dream Home Making Elizabeth Grace explains, "A bedside caddy serves as a sleek organizational solution, allowing you to keep essential items close at hand — whether it's your current read, a pair of glasses, or your trusty notebook, a caddy ensures everything has its designated place." As well as this, Grace highlights the clutter reduction and space optimization potential, a factor anyone looking to make it through dorm life alive should heed. "For those with limited bedside space, a caddy is a game-changer," she says. "Its vertical design takes up minimal space, making it ideal for compact bedrooms."
