What Do Dorm Rooms Lack That I Didn't Realize? Answer: A hallway closet. In dorm life, you are lucky to get ONE closet. That one closet has to be your everything closet, so when you wonder why your space is limited, blame it on the closet (or lack thereof). At least back home you most likely had an entrance closet, linen closet, or a mud room closet to keep your shoes and coats, but in college there is no such thing! The solution: Without a closet for your shoes you just have to get more creative! One of the best ways to get creative is to utilize your door space. That's right—your door space! Every door in your dorm should be used for placing over the door shoe pockets, over the door hooks and anything else that provides storage. Your closet doors are the real secret to getting the most out of your dorm space. Whether you hang baskets, hooks, shelves, or shoe racks, one thing is for certain and that is your dorm door space is prime-storage real estate. You can also use extra dorm organizers to maximize the space in your tiny dorm closet. Sweater shelf hangers and multi-hangers can help you use every inch of space in your closet, and even allow you to hang up bulky items like sweaters, jeans, and jackets without taking up too much room. Dorm rooms have limited storage capacity, but with dorm space savers from DormCo you can help make your dorm feel more like home. We can't renovate your dorm to give you an extra closet, but our dorm closet organizers will help you fit all your college essentials in that tiny space!
