Making the most of your uni room! | Lifestyle

Pretty much everyone who has been to university knows that often than not the rooms aren't massive and when you're a blogger the chances are you have more stuff than room and it's a nightmare trying to find places to store it all so I thought I'd give you some tips today for keeping your room organized and finding places for all of your stuff (or at least most of it anyways)

First off, start by sorting out your stuff to get rid of unwanted items: 
Clothes that no longer fit? DVDs that you're holding on to that you've never watched? Get rid of them all, have a good old clear out and if you find anything which is worth money, sell it online and then use the money to put towards storage space for your new room. Win win situation!

Drawers and boxes are your best friends: 
My uni room consists of a stack of storage boxes from Tk Maxx which are perfect for buying different sizes and stacking them on top of each other, or just having one big one. They look lovely and you can fill them with different items, I use mine for items I have no idea what to do with. Also sets of draws are perfect for storage and although they take up more room it's an awesome way to store things easily. I have a big set full of makeup and one mini set on my desk for pens, and brushes and other bits and pieces saves the desk clutter.

Order your wardrobe: 
Most wardrobes have a top section, a wardrobe part then a set of drawers underneath so it's about making the most of the space you have. The top part is perfect for bags and shoes, or if you have a lot of shoes like me the draw under your bed is another perfect place. Of course the middle bit is for hanging clothes, do this in order and it's perfect for keeping organized. I like to have longer stuff at the end like jeans and dresses then tees separate. If you are desperate for space you can use this for storing other things like shoes and bags but if not you can keep this free of clutter. Lastly the drawers are perfect for storing all of your clothes, make sure they're folded and then you can fit more in. I usually keep one of the drawers free for summer clothes/winter clothes to keep my wardrobe less cluttered.

Keep it clean: 
I am terrible at this, but my room honestly feels 100x bigger when it is clean as there's space to walk and you can see the floor, when the room is quite compact more mess makes it feel cluttered which equals smaller space.

These are my basic tips for ordering your university room and if you have a massive room I am super jealous of you, as I want a lovely dresser and lots of makeup room!
