College Dorm Organization

December 26, 2014

 

If you’re a college student or have a child who will be returning back to school after winter break, this post is for you.  I’m sharing tips on how to maximize space, personalize, and organize the dorm room.

The #1 rule when you move into a dorm room is “no nails”.  So a college students best friend is a 3M Command hook.  You can use any of their products to decorate, organize, and personalize your living space. They are damage free & replace nails.

When decorating & organizing your dorm room, don’t forget about the back of the door.  I used a hanging shoe organizer to organize school supplies.

I applied 3M Command wall hooks (waited an hour) then hung a shoe organizer.

Next I inserted plastic cups, to keep the shoe organizers open and make it easy to reach in and grab supplies.

Another use for Command products are to hang jewelry.  College girls love their jewelry.

The utensil hooks work great for this.

Not only are 3M Command products great for dorms but so is vinyl. There are many ways to customize your dorm room without damaging the walls.  Have fun & be creative.

    You may want to check with your dorm first. My daughter was not allowed to use 3M hooks on the walls. I really don’t see how a 3M hook would be worse than nail holes but those were the rules.
