Dorm Decor Furnishes College Rooms All Over The Country From Alabama

By Karim Shamsi-Basha

The Birmingham-based company, Dorm Decor, ships all kinds of furniture for dorm rooms, including beddings, shelves, chairs, desks, lamps, rugs, cubbies and art.

Co-founders Alison Gorrie and Kate Phillips started the company when their children headed to college and wanted an upgrade.

“Alison was moving her daughter for her freshman year of college, and my daughter was a year younger,” Kate Phillips said. “She had given me some dorm decorating ideas.“After having a bed cubby built for my daughter when she went to college, my son offered to build one himself. The next summer he started building them and sold a handful,” Phillips said. “The summer after that he had a website and sold many more. The next year he got so busy he had to bring on some of his friends.”
