Living in a dorm room can be fun and exciting, but it can also be stressful when you are limited on space. Here's a list of helpful hints that I have learned through my experience.
1. Loft your bed
And if you can’t, take advantage of the little space that you do have under your bed for storage.
2. Bunk your beds
This will create a lot of much-needed floor space in the room. A dorm room can seem very compact without anywhere to move on the floor.
3. Buy a shoe organizer
Preferably one that hangs in the closet. This will not only create easy access to your shoes, but it will also free up more space for other items.
4. Purchase a rug
Not only will this make your dorm room feel more like home, but it will also tie the room together perfectly to give off the impression that the room is bigger than it is.
5. Stack items
And when I stay stack, I mean stack everything that you possibly can. It’s easier to build up in a dorm room than it is to build out.
6. Take advantage of command hooks
These will be your best friends. From decorating to hanging towels, they come in handy.
7. Buy an ottoman
Not only do these make a convenient seat, but they make for great storage as well.
8. Use desk organizers
These will keep your desk organized and free up space to work. Nothing's more annoying than trying to do an assignment in a cluttered space.
9. Use storage drawers and bins
These are an easy way to keep things organized, while also keeping things out of the way while still knowing where everything is.
