These Genius Hacks Will Completely Transform Your Dorm Space
Are you going to leave for college during the next weeks or you’re simply looking for some ideas on how to decorate your home office? Well, then you might want to check out the amazing hacks on how to personalize your dorm space that we prepared for today. The cool thing about these hacks is that even though they are DIY, they are not that complicated and everyone can do them. Without any further ado, here are the best easy hacks to personalize your dorm space.
20. Organize Your Scarfs
If you love to wear scarfs, then this easy DIY hack is perfect for you. As you can see in the picture above, crafting this scarf rack is rather simple and the only thing you need is a coat hanger and shower curtain rings.
19. Simple Design
The best way to personalize your dorm space is to use a simple design. The geometrical shapes make the wall look beautiful and they are easy to make. All you need is a ruler and some paint.
18. Paint Swatches
If you have a home depot or a crafts store around your dorm, then we advise you to go there and ask them to give you the extra paint swatches that they don’t need anymore. As we can see in this picture, paint swatches make for excellent art.
17. Shower Caddy
Every college dorm comes with a shower caddy, but what you do with it is up to you. You can always make a cool creation like this one to keep your books instead of using the shower caddy to place shampoo and soap.
16. Charger Tape
If you never want your roommate to take your charger by mistake, then some colored tape is what you need. Creating a unique design with tape for your charger will not only help you differentiate it from your roommate’s charger, but it also looks nice.
15. Spray Paint
The most important thing that you can do if you want to personalize your dorm space is to get a can of golden spray. This is not expensive at all and you can turn everything into gold! Including the mason jars that your mom sends you.
14. Ikea Bed Slat
Ikea sells lots of bed slats and these items can be really useful. This picture shows us that you can get one of Ikea’s cheap bed slats and create a hanger for all your favorite things.
13. Kitchen Bar
Even though dorm spaces are awesome, they are quite small. Not just that, but you usually have to share your dorm space with someone else and this makes it difficult to store things. Well, this is why you should make a kitchen bar like this and save space.
12. Photos
If you love taking photos, then you really need to give this idea a try! Just get some photos and line them on a string around your dorm space. Not only will this look awesome, but it’s also one of the coolest ways of personalizing your dorm space.
11. String Art
One of the best things that you can cover your walls with is art. Although, you don’t need to buy it since you can make it yourself. String art is really easy to get into and there are lots of guides all over YouTube.
10. Yarn Balls
Just like string art, yarn balls are simple to make and they will add some “flavor” to your dorm room. The more colors you have to make yarn balls, the better your dorm is going to look like. The next hack will leave you in awe!
9. Dorm Bed Canopy
Is there something better than staying in your bed and reading a good book? Well, yes there is! You can always add a canopy to your bed so that you always have shade.
8. Colored Fabric
Dressers are another item that every dorm space has and while they might be useful, they look boring. Fortunately, you can personalize them by adding some colored fabric on the sides.
7. Light Switches
From the looks of it, having colored fabric and a piece of tape around your dorm space will prove to be quite useful. Just imagine how cool your room is going to look after making all your light switches look like this.
6. Desk Organizer
As previously mentioned, the first step to organizing your dorm space is to buy a can of gold spray paint. You can create a cool desk organizer by getting a bunch of pipes and then spraying them with paint. Also, glue can fix them to a panel of wood.
5. Cork Coasters
Cork coasters are some of the most amazing things ever! There are so many things that you can do with them and the picture above is the perfect example of that.
4. Mason Jars
Everyone has at least one or two mason jars in their kitchen. Why let those jars go to waste when you can paint them and use them for something else instead?
3. Black Tape
If you have a white door in your dorm, then you should be happy to know that you can turn it into a piece of art with just a simple black tape. Creating this design is not too complicated and you will finish it in a matter of minutes.
2. Scented Candles
One of the downsides of living in a dorm is the fact that you are not allowed to light candles. Luckily, there is a trick to lighting scented candles without breaking that rule. All you need is a couple of mason jars and some paint.
1. Flower Initials
Whoever thought that getting some flowers and gluing them to look like some initials is going to look this cool? Now, this is a DIY hack that we all need to try.
