Starting college is exciting, but it also comes with its challenges – especially when it comes to space. Dorm rooms are notoriously small, apartments often have limited room and storage, and moving between semesters or heading home for extended breaks can make things even trickier.
Luckily, there are some easy, smart self storage options for students that simplify life and allow you to focus on what matters most – getting the most out of your college experience.
On-Campus Storage Hacks
- Utilize multi-functional furniture. Get the most out of every item in your room with items like ottomans or trunks that double as seating and storage.
- Take advantage of under the bed storage. Not only can you store bins and boxes under the bed, but you can also add drawers to easily access stored items.
- Make use of vertical space. Things like over-the-door racks, wall shelves, and hanging baskets are great ways to stow away items while maximizing your floor space.
- Use collapsible folding bins. Foldable fabric bins are easy to tuck away when not in use and ideal for holding things like extra blankets or laundry.
- Use shower caddies beyond the bathroom. Plastic caddies are inexpensive and perfect for organizing things like art supplies and cleaning items.
