Double Duty Design for Dorm Rooms
from:With every bit of free space needing to count for something, it is important to make wise use of your available dorm room space so you will have room for everything you need and still be able to decorate your dorm room to suit your tastes. While there are a variety of storage options on the market that are perfect for dorm room living, look for as many options as possible that will serve more than one purpose. This will eliminate the need for multiple storage items and will be cheaper as well.
Bedside Table
No matter how cute it is, don’t choose a bedside table that offers no storage. Look for one that has storage drawers or one that actually has a cabinet. If your table is on legs with floor space underneath it, use a basket to store papers or books underneath the table. You might also consider just using a storage trunk for your bedside table and storing things that you want to have with you but that you don’t need to get at every day. You can shop flea markets for old trunks or buy a newer, trendy one. Either way, this is one of the best options to use in a dorm for a table simply because it offers so much storage space.
Desk Area
If you have a desk, try to place it facing a wall so you can add shelves to store your supplies and books. You want to use as much vertical space as possible because you’ll quickly run out of floor space and the walls are there anyway, right? If you do have a shelving unit on the floor, opt for a tall, skinny one instead of the wider kind that can take up a great deal of floor space.
Shoe bags and Shoe Boxes
Nobody needs as many pairs of shoes as most shoe bags and boxes hold and the pockets make excellent storage options for a variety of other things. If you’re using an over the door pocket style of shoe bag, the pockets can hold scarves, belts, socks, bottles, such as hair styling aids, and anything else that will fit.
Other Storage Options
If you buy anything to sit on, consider a storage ottoman, which will not only look cool in your dorm room but will hold a variety of things you don’t want cluttering the place up. Some furniture stores sell these in really cool designs, such as the ones that look like a drum or other cool options. Sprinkle wicker baskets around wherever you need a bit of order and look for storage options that hang on the wall or door. You can even buy an ironing board that hangs over the door and folds down when you need to use it.
