Storage Solutions for a Dorm

Some Ideas to Create More Storage in Your Dorm

When you’re heading off to college, it’s fun to imagine how functional your dorm will be. But, reality hits you the moment you walk in there for the first time. It’s small….really small. Dreams of a clutter-free living space disappear as you realize that you’re expected to live in this tiny room for the next year. Where will your clothes go? Your school supplies? There are solutions, and here are some.

Over-the-door storage

The back of your door is going to be a major storage solution for you. Invest in a over-the-door storage which has pockets of varying sizes and even some sturdy compartments that function like deep shelves.

Collapsible, movable bins

You’ll probably get some kind of dresser, but you’ll need more drawers than that. Try a lighweight, movable, collapsible storage bin center.

Vertical hangers

When you hang all your clothes horizontally across the bar in your closet, you fill it up fast. Get a hanger rod that collapses downward to store all your pants, scarves, or bags.

Creative shelving

There might be rules against putting shelving up on your walls but you can always attach a little shelf next to your bed for easy access to your phone, book, or drink, even if you’re lounging in the top bunk. Try a shelf that clips onto the bed frame.
