10 Awesome Dorm Storage Ideas

Introduction

Dorm rooms can be small and cramped, but that doesn’t mean you have to let your dorm storage suffer. With these ideas, we’ll show you how to get the most out of space in your dorm room – even if it’s not very big at all!

Spice Rack

Spice racks are a great way to keep your desk space clean and organized. You can find them at the dollar store, or use an old one you already have lying around. The best part is that they come in a variety of sizes and shapes–you can even buy them online! If you have a lot of small items that need storing (like pens or pencils), this is an ideal solution because it keeps everything visible so you know where everything is when you need it.

If your school requires specific supplies like colored pencils or highlighters, consider putting those items in clear jars with labels on them as well as storing other tools such as markers and scissors within reachable distances from each other on top of your desk instead of tucked away inside drawers where they’ll get lost easily!

Bookcase Storage

  • Add a bookcase to your room.
  • Use it to store books, clothes and other items.
  • Use it to display your favorite things like photos or decorative items. You can also use the shelf space as a desk!

Get a second dresser

Another option is to get a second dresser and use the extra space for storage. You can also use it as a nightstand or vanity, or even as an extra desk!

Add hooks and hangers

If you have a lot of clothing and accessories, chances are good that they don’t all fit in your dresser. And even if they do, there may still be some space left over–which is where hooks and hangers come in!

Hooks are great for hanging up towels, hats, robes, and jackets; while hangers work best for shirts (especially if you’re using the right size), pants and skirts. You can even get creative by combining both types of storage so that everything has its place without taking up too much room on the wall or floor. Just make sure to buy sturdy hooks or hangers made from durable materials such as metal so they won’t break off during use!

Use storage bins

Stacking your storage bins is a great way to save space. You can even label them so you know exactly what’s in each one, making it easier to find things later.

In addition to stacking and labeling, make sure you have enough storage bins! It’s important that they’re all the same size so they stack neatly on top of each other.

There are many different kinds of storage bins out there. Some are made out of plastic or fabric; some come with lids while others don’t; some have handles while others don’t…you get the idea! It’s up to you which type works best for your dorm room needs (and budget).

Shelves are great for storage. You can even build your own!

If you’re looking for storage ideas, shelves are a great place to start. They’re versatile, inexpensive and they can be used in any room of the house–even dorm rooms! Shelves can be used to store things that you don’t need often (such as linens or other bedding) as well as things you don’t use often (like textbooks). They also make great places for displaying decorations without taking up precious floor space.

Cupboards are another great option for dorm storage. They’re especially useful for storing large items like bikes and skates.

Cupboards are a good way to store large items that would otherwise take up a lot of space in your room or on the floor–like bikes and skates!

Use a ladder to create more space in your closet (and buy multiples if you have the room).

If you’re short on storage space and have a closet, consider putting up a ladder in it. Ladders are great for hanging clothes, shoes, and other items that take up lots of space in your room. You can buy a ladder that fits in your closet or even multiple ladders if you have the room for them! If you have enough space for several ladders and want to get creative with how they’re used–even hanging things from the ceiling–go ahead!

DIY wall shelves are an easy way to add some extra storage to your bedroom. Just attach them with strong adhesive and hang them up!

You don’t need to buy expensive shelves from the store. You can make them yourself, and they’ll look just as good! All you need are some wooden boards and a few other items.

  • Paint stirrers
  • Wooden dowels
  • Dowel rods (the thinner ones)

These will all work just fine! If you want to get fancy, use wood glue or super glue instead of adhesive tape so that your shelves are extra sturdy.

Here are 10 tricks to make the most out of your dorm room

  • Use a ladder to make your closet bigger.
  • Use a bookcase to store your books.
  • Get a spice rack and store spices in it instead of taking up valuable space on the countertop or in the fridge.
  • Add hooks and hangers for hanging clothes, so you don’t have to worry about folding them neatly away every night before bedtime!

Conclusion

Hopefully these dorm room storage tips will help you make the most out of your space. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on fancy systems or expensive furniture–just use what you have and get creative! With a little bit of time and effort, you’ll be able to create an organized space that works for you.
