Dorm rooms are notoriously small, and space is limited, so organizing your things efficiently is key. With two kids in college, we have mastered the art of dorm room storage solutions. Let’s find creative ways to maximize storage potential in dorm rooms.
- Storage bins: Many dorms provide a little extra space under the bed. The three shelf plastic bins are great to store clothes, shoes, or other personal items.
- Over-the-door organizers: These are great for keeping shoes, toiletries, or accessories off of the floor.
- Drawer organizers: Keep your drawers neat and tidy by using dividers for clothing and organizers for desk essentials.
- Laundry hamper: A collapsible or rolling laundry hamper makes it easier to transport clothes to and from the laundry room, and use liquid detergent especially in the old machines!
- Closet Storage: Think space saving hangers, top of the closet containers, shoe racks, and closet hanging organizers to make the most out of the small space for clothes.
- Sneaky Storage: Ottomans are a great way to get extra storage! Purchase hooks to hold towels instead of them being on the floor.
