by on Aug 16, 2016

Looking for some storage items to max out your dorm room? Here are some pieces to get your dorm room ready to go.   

 

1. Studio 3B 4-Piece USB Bed Lift Set

These bed risers lift your bed and give you another outlet. No more hidden outlets behind the furniture!

 

2. Rotating Hanging Closet System

I love these storage systems from PB Teen because they’re short and they rotate. They’re a perfect solution if you can’t get your bed high enough hang them underneath. Need your shoes? Just spin the system!

 

3. The Shelf Supreme Adjustable Shelving Unit

This shelving unit is made to store all your essentials. It’s also adjustable so you can fit all sorts of stuff!

This shelving unit is so customizable. Move the shelves up or down as needed to fit anything and everything!

 

8. Bed Rail Cubby by Dorm Decor

This little cubby attaches to the rails of your bed on the end or the side. It’s a perfect storage spot for books, water bottles, or small devices. It even has a hole in the bottom to feed your cords through. For those who sleep on a lofted bed or top bunk, this is a must-have. Choose from many colors to match any theme.

 

9. Mercury Luggage Seward Trunk Wheeled Storage

People have been taking footlockers to college for decades. They’re great since they can function as bedside or coffee tables while storing your seasonal clothes in a small and classy looking package.
