Smart storage solutions for college dorms!

Heading off to college and worried about how you’ll fit all your belongings into a small dorm room or apartment? Don’t stress! With a few smart storage ideas, you can bring everything you need and keep your space organised.

In a small bedroom, creativity is key. If a traditional wardrobe won’t fit, consider a storage bed that can hold an entire wardrobe’s worth of clothes right under the mattress. This way, you can have the bed you want without sacrificing storage space.

Maximise your walls with high shelves running the length of the room. These are perfect for storing items you don’t use every day. Storage boxes are another essential, helping you keep things neat and labelled for easy access. And don’t forget to think smart about your bedside space. You can add a wall rail and small shelves above your bedside locker to hold books, freeing up precious table space.
