A college dorm room organized is the best way to keep your home away from home enjoyable to live in. If you’re having problems keeping your college dorm room organized we have some tips. It is often a challenge for college students and nowhere is it more apparent than in small, shared dorm rooms. We agree that dorm life can be quite trying; however, staying organized will help you keep the unnecessary stress at bay. Plus, when your surroundings are clean and orderly, it’s much easier to concentrate on your studies and other activities. Here are some quick and easy ways to make more room for yourself and your stuff in those tiny dorm rooms.
How to Get Your College Dorm Room Organized
Dorm room ideas: Double hanging racks
Closet space in dorm rooms is quite small and you really cannot install anything into this area. But, you can effectively double the space in your tiny closet with an hanging organizer. Simply, hook it onto the rack, and add a whole new row to store clothes. Also, be smart and put the unused space to work by hooking and over the door shoe rack.
Organize your desk
A cluttered desk is uninviting and will constantly distract you from your work. So, invest in a filing cabinet to keep your important documents, papers, and receipts arranged. Recycle old assignments, term and exam papers that are no longer required. Also, limiting the number of desk accessories you bring with you to college is a sensible way to maintain order. Finally, manage your book clutter by organizing them alphabetically or by color-coding them. For instance, put a blue label or covering on the books you use on Mondays, “Monday Blues.”

Organized dorm ideas: Make your bed
When you live in a small area, the slightest visual disorder can make a huge impact on the appearance of your room. So, get into the habit of making your bed daily, even if it means only folding your quilt and arranging pillows. Try getting bed-in-a-bag sets that include sheets, comforter, matching pillowcases and more for a easier time making your bed.

Get your Dorm Room Organized with Laundry bins
Don’t just throw your dirty clothes on the floor or drape it over the chair. Buy a lightweight, portable laundry basket or bag and toss it under your bed. Not only will it help you keep your dorm room uncluttered, it will make your laundry day much easier. Laundry bags are also a creative option. We like these laundry bags from Etsy Shop – Hen House Originals.
