I agree with Steven. Self storage would be a great way to keep your room clutter free.

When you are in college it can be a bit difficult trying to store everything you have in that small dorm. Having plastic bins that stack on top of each other can be a real space saver.

When I was at college, I used to make bookshelves out of bricks and a couple of planks of wood. Not the most elegant of solutions – but at least my books were off the floor and i could take my bookshelves with me wherever I went!

The more space you have, the more stuff you accumulate. Sometimes it’s better to have less space.

Some great suggestions and all I can add is the suggestion to use self storage for vacations or if your dorm room becomes just too cramped.

@Nick: Lofting your beds is worth it if you don’t mind the hassle of getting up and down all the time — plus, you can wake up your roommate. But you’re very right — the space you free up is incredible.

One of the best ideas we had in college was to loft our beds. This way we could add a coach underneath them and you didn’t have to worry about anyone coming in and randomly laying down or sitting on your bed.

This gives you a ton more space, but my other suggestions would to be (like you said) utilize all your desk space! you can even use drawers for socks :)

I have always liked under the bed storage containers, even out of college. It allows you a way to condense your space, especially if you are still in a smaller sized apartment as an adult.
