This post is all about dorm organization.

Going to college is the start of a new beginning. One of the most exciting about getting ready for college is decorating your dorm room.

I am completely lucky to have a dorm that has a kitchenette area, 2 separate bedrooms, and one bathroom to share with my roommate. However, decorating a 4 by 4 room (…maybe a bit over exaggerating) without getting it cluttered is a complete challenge.

The balance of having your dream dorm and trying to be sane with the clutter. This is why I created a list of tips and tricks saving space in your dorm room!

This post shows 10 Helpful Dorm Organizations Tips That Will Keep You Sane

Dorm Organization

1. Command Hooks

These are absolute necessary especially if your campus has a strict no holes on walls

2. Roller Cart/Nightstand

This is so helpful to have in your room. It provides extra storage space to place your stuff in. My roommate has the roller cart, and she puts all of her make up in.

If you want to be a bit bougie, like me, you can invest in a nightstand. I got my nightstand from IKEA it was affordable and really easy to put together.

3. Desk Organizer

This will make your desk so organized (shockingly…right?). You can place your office supplies and papers in. Having a clear space will help you have a clear mind.

4. Over Door Shoe Hanger

It doesn’t have to be only shoes in there. You can place things that you will use every once in awhile to provide space in your dorm.

5. Bed Caddy

Oh I love this thing so much. Like I place my phone in there or my remotes in there. It helps on lazy days when you don’t feel like leaving your bed. All your stuff in one place right next to you.

6. Under Bed Storage

If you feel like you’ll bring more clothes than the closet your school provides. I recommend in getting an under bed storage. This provides organization and more room for your clothes.

7. Baskets

I love my baskets. You can place them in your cabinets, roller cart, or in your desk.

8. Trunk

My trunk helps me store so much. I place all of my stuff that I would need when I move out towards the end of the semester. It’s an easy transfer from moving things between destinations.
