How to create an organized, stylish dorm
Starting college and moving into your first dorm is an exciting time! You’ll quickly learn your dorm is a small space that must serve many functions, from studying to sleeping. That’s why staying organized is a must.
Here are some ideas to help you minimize clutter and organize your space into three zones designated for specific activities and storage solutions.
The privacy zone
If you have a roommate, you can make a private zone for work or relaxation with a curtain or room divider. A fabric panel can help minimize visual noise and create an aesthetic barrier.
For movie nights, get creative and pull down a window blind attached to the ceiling to use as a projector screen. Pop that popcorn from your snack bin and enjoy the show!
