Dorm Storage: Think Hanging Shoe Pockets

dorm_storage_back_of_doorIn small dorm spaces, it is important to think double-duty when creating more storage.  Use the back of your doors to install shoe holders with pockets.  These are inexpensive and can hold a multitude of small items.

Plastic shoe holders allow you to see your stuff, canvas may be more durable, and the mesh-type-fabric allows visibility and stored items can breathe.

You can even grow a garden in a  hanging shoe rack. Slide small pots of herbs or green plants into the shoe holder pockets.

And when you just have to keep your door open, try jamming the toe of a ‘spare pair’ under your door [be sure the shoe you choose, is yours and not your roommate's].

Think about the possibilities ’cause these storage solutions aren’t just for shoes anymore.  And shoes aren’t just for wearing either.
