7 storage Ideas that makes life easier for students

 

Perhaps one of the most common causes of nostalgia for university students is the abrupt shortage in the amount of personal space at their disposal. Your university accommodation might probably just be a shadow of your room at home, and you might have a hard time adjusting. 

However, you can trust that, over the years, ambitious students have come up with tons of enterprising ways to make the most out of every square metre of accommodation. Here, we offer a rundown of the finest storage ideas for students. 

Harnessing Underbed Space

There are tonnes of storage ideas for under-bed space. But you can't do much over the bed. Rather, a lot can go under. To get as much storage space as possible, use higher bed risers. The higher the bed's elevation, the bigger the storage space under. 

You can conveniently tuck away quite a lot here, from baskets to boxes, shelves, and furniture like tables and chairs. 

Maximise Your Door Space

The next place to harness is your doors - every door from your main door to your closet door and bathroom door. Here, you can eke out massive storage space for lightweight items using hacks like door hooks, pegs, and over-the-door bags. A whole lot can go up here, from clothes to shoes, personal care items, toys, tools, and gadgets. 

Bring in More Baskets

You can use baskets of various shapes and sizes to make your dorm more organised and accessible. Cute, colourful baskets can double as both storage and decor items. 

You can use separate boxes to organise any set of items from dried food ingredients to school supplies, dirty laundry, and shoes.

Get Rolling Storage Units

If you can get your hands on rolling carts and plastic boxes, your accommodation can be a more convenient place to live in. They let you easily wheel your things around, so you can tuck them out of sight and retrieve them at any time. 

Mount the Pegboards

Pegboards come in handy for maximising horizontal space. They're easy to install and take down. Thanks to their lightweight, you can easily stick them on walls with things like sticky strips and magnets, no need to puncture your walls. 

Also, you could probably dedicate a wall section to pegboards only to make them look better organised and aesthetically pleasing. 

Hacks for Organising Your Drawer and Table Space:

  • Avoid lumping all your jewellery in one box on your table or drawer, instead, hang your necklaces and bangles tangle-free on hanging jewellery rolls (which can easily be folded into storage or hung to display on your wall). 

  • Use accordion folders to get rid of paper clutter, and keep your papers well organised, from bills to research papers, reading materials, etc.) Plus, accordion folders can be very colourful and spruce up your space.

  • Use a magnet to assemble all your metallic items in one spot, including your tools and keys. You can even store non-metallic items in small metallic cans and keep them all together with a magnet.

  • Use drawer organisers to make your drawers more accessible and organised. 

Leverage Self-Storage

Self-storage can also come in quite handy for students. You can easily get one of any desirable size at a convenient location. 

Use them to secure your high-value items, free up more living space, and even keep your items much closer to where you use them, like storing your sporting and hiking gear close to your hiking location.

Also, decluttering your accommodation can be a way to clear your mind. If you're finding it hard to concentrate, this may be due to the cluttered environment that you're living in. Try moving your items into a self-storage unit to see if this solution helps.
