When you move into student accommodation, you will find that they can be a little lacking in storage space. Here, we will guide you through how to make the most of your storage accommodation with the help of our student storage Watford.
Heading off to university is an exciting time. You will have so many new experiences, you will meet new friends and you will learn a lot about a subject you enjoy. All in all, you should be in for a lot of fun.
One slight downside to university is that student accommodation is often quite small. And, even when you move into a student house in your later university years, you will still only have a room to call your own. So, you really have to make the most of all of your space within your student accommodation.
Within this article, we will look at how to make the most of your student accommodation and let you know how student storage Watford will help.
Make The Most Of The Vertical Space
When you are living in a smaller space, you need to really make the most of all the space and include the walls and the vertical space.
You could add shelves for storing books and pegboards or magnetic strips for storing items on the wall.
Of course, the vertical space can also be used to make the space feel more like you. Adding artwork, posters, fairy lights etc. will all help the space to feel more like home.
And, if you are living in a student house with communal areas, you can take this storage advice into all those areas as well.
Use Over The Door Organisers
Over the door organisers are no longer the place to simply store shoes but, of course, you can if that’s what you need to store!
There has been a Tiktok trend that has shown students using over the door storage to store cleaning supplies, beauty products, kitchen utensils and more.
They can be used on the back of your bedroom door but they can also be hung inside your wardrobe.
And Don’t Forget Under The Bed!
Whilst on the topic of places that can be used for storage, you should not forget under your bed. Underneath your bed is some prime storage real estate that often doesn’t get used to the best of its ability.
Measure the height of underneath your bed and then buy some clear containers which will easily slide in and out. You could store seasonal clothing, shoes, pyjamas, bedding etc.
Look For Multipurpose Furniture
When you are in a smaller space, it is a really good idea to look for multipurpose furniture. This could be a bed with drawers, a desk with drawers and/or shelves or a seat that has storage inside.
Another option is to be on the lookout for furniture that folds away. This could be a desk or, in the communal areas, a dining room table.
Use Clear Containers
We have already mentioned how handy these can be for under your bed but they can really be utilised throughout your student accommodation. They will make storing anything easier and everything will stay organised.
They can be placed underneath beds or on top of wardrobes. Smaller ones could be used in the kitchen or fridge to store food. With the communal areas, it is a really good idea to label the containers so people know what is in them and, more importantly, who the food belongs to.
