Dorm Storage & Organization

Heading off to college soon? It’s a big transition, but one that can be smoothed over with help from your dorm room decor. From essentials like sheets and bath towels to accents like artificial plants and fun photo frames, Macy’s carries everything you need to maximize dorm storage—and personality—in a new but smaller space.

Check out our top dorm room storage ideas and start getting inspired for the big move.

Utilize Every Nook And Cranny
Room storage will likely be minimal when you arrive, so consider buying some removable dorm shelving. It’s lightweight, easy to set up and not meant to be permanent, so there’s no danger of damaging dorm room walls.

Another trick to maximizing space is to buy a dorm under-bed storage bin. Use under-bed storage for anything that you won’t need too often: think off-season coats and comforter sets.

A shower caddy is a helpful organizer for dorm life that’s oftenoverlooked. Yes, really! It corrals body wash, shampoo, brushes and more without taking up too much space and can be personalized with your name so no one “accidentally” uses up your favorite conditioner.

Keep It Neat
One of the major shifts between home life and dorm life is cleaning responsibilities. While you may have had chores to do around the house, you’ll soon be the person in charge of ensuring your space is clean and tidy.

Set yourself up for success. Start with a hanging dorm room organizer that can be used for clothes, shoes, bath towels or other items—whatever you want to keep in order.

When it comes to washing clothes, a dorm laundry bag is an obvious necessity, but you might want to buy more than one. Why? Having two means you can use one to drag dirty stuff to the laundry room and another for hauling freshly cleaned clothes back.
