• Our Purpose

    The Vogue Room Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization—an offshoot of The Vogue Room LLC interior design brand. Our purpose is to empower first-generation, minority college students by furnishing them with functional and well-designed dorm room spaces, fostering productivity, innovative thinking, and relieving the financial strain associated with decorating, ultimately enabling them to excel in their education.
