Organization might be the least fun part of moving in to a new space...but it doesn’t have to be! By choosing pieces that are functional (and maybe even fashionable!) you can keep clutter under control, and make your dorm room a real Home Away from Home.
Invest in a laundry hamper to keep your clothes contained and easy to transport, whether you’re doing laundry in the dorm or back at home! A hamper with more than one section can also keep everything sorted – handles make it easy to carry!
Invest in slim hangers. The narrower the hanger, the more you will be able to fit in your closet. Don’t need more hanging storage, but is your dresser out of control? Pick up some hanging shelves for sweaters, jeans, etc. Use the same solution for extra shoes to keep your closet/dorm room floor free of clutter.
Pick up an over-door hook or organizer for your closet. There’s a lot of vertical storage space waiting to be used!
Don’t forget about under your bed! If you haven’t lofted your bed (highly recommended!) put that space to use for your out-of-season clothes, extra bedding, suitcases – anything you won’t be using frequently.
No room for a file cabinet? No worries, magazine files can keep your class papers close at hand but out of sight!
Smaller storage boxes keep your pens, pencils, highlighters, etc. Tucked away. Visual clutter makes a space feel less calm -- something you don't need during a late-night study session!
A small shelving unit can keep everything from library books to game controllers close at hand. Add a basket or two and keep them tucked away from view.
Make your TV stand work for you! A cabinet that’s low to the ground, for good TV viewing or game playing, and also has storage is a winning combination.
