These 10 Under-$25 Clever Storage Finds Will Make Even the Tiniest Dorm Room Feel More Spacious

Unlike the spacious college rooms often featured on shows like Gilmore Girls (who actually has a giant suite as a freshman?), real dorms are notoriously small. Making the most of the limited space requires some ingenuity and clever storage options. Amazon has plenty of space-saving items, and these 10 will help make your dorm feel roomy. 

Over-the-door organizers, under-bed storage bins, space-saving hangers, and more start at just $10, so you don’t have to spend a lot to outfit your dorm, either. Shop these space-saving items for under $25 at Amazon.

Jumeihui Wall-Mount Accessories Organizer

This wall organizer is the perfect spot for all your electronics. It has two shelves that are just the right size to hold your phone, tablet, or TV remotes, and there are even clips on the side to keep cords in place to charge your devices. The five bottom hooks are also useful for hanging headphones, additional chargers, or even keys. And you don’t have to worry about making holes in the dorm walls, either, because the organizer comes with strips to hang it on the wall. 

Ronlap Folding Bedside Shelf

No room for a nightstand? Grab this bedside shelf instead. The shelf clips onto the side of the bed frame so you can conveniently store and access your phone, books, water bottle, and other essentials. And the best part is that when you’re not using it, you can fold it down to save even more space. 

Totanki Slim Rolling Laundry Basket

Measuring just 7.8 by 25 inches, this laundry basket can slide into almost any corner without being too obtrusive. Thanks to the reinforced handles and wheels, you can easily take it from your room to the dorm laundry room without having to lift and carry a heavy bag—especially if you’ve let your laundry pile up longer than usual. The basket also has a drawstring closure to prevent anything from falling out, and one of the wheels locks to help it stay in place when you’re putting in or taking out clothes.

Songmics Folding Storage Ottoman

Pieces that do double duty, like this storage ottoman, are the MVPs of any small dorm room. In addition to using it as a footrest and a storage container, it can also serve as an extra seat when you have guests over, as it supports up to 286 pounds. Plus, it comes in multiple colors to match your decor, including cream, dark gray, light pink, dark green, and more.
