Whether you're in a dorm room or a college apartment, space is almost always tight and often shared. The good news? A few easy hanging solutions can help you stay organized without giving up floor or counter space.

Use the Inside of Doors for Hidden Storage

Counter space is highly valuable, especially in small kitchens. One easy fix is to add hooks to the inside of cabinet doors to hang utensils or dish towels. FrogTape reMOVEables™ White Mini Hooks and wire hooks are a great no-damage option that keeps your tools within reach but out of the way.

Hang Up Your Backpack to Clear Floor Space 

Backpacks can quickly take over your floor—especially when they’re stuffed with books and supplies. Free up valuable space by hanging yours up instead. FrogTape reMOVEables™ Heavy-Duty Large White Hooks are the perfect tool for the job since they can handle up to 5 lbs. Plus, keeping your bag off the floor means it’s easy to grab when you’re heading out the door.

Closets in college housing are rarely roomy, and bulky jackets can take up space. Instead, try hanging them on the closet door or wall. FrogTape reMOVEables™ Heavy-Duty Medium Brushed Nickel Hooks are a simple, stylish way to free up your closet while keeping your most-used outerwear easy to grab.

Make the Most of Your Space 

With simple, damage-free solutions like hooks on doors and walls, you can maximize every inch of your dorm or apartment. From hanging backpacks to organizing kitchen tools, these tips help you create a clutter-free space that works for your busy college life.
