1. Hang curtains.

This tutorial will help you to use Command hooks to hang curtains in your dorm room. By using hooks, you ensure that there won’t be damage done to your walls come move-out day.

2. Hang your keys by the door.

It’s so easy to rush out of the room and forget your keys and ID. To avoid disaster, hang your keys and ID from a Command hook by the door or light switch.

3. Keep necklaces neat.

To display your jewelry in an organized fashion, hang necklaces from small Command hooks. You can hang the hooks on a frame or put them directly on the inside of your closet.

4. Organize toothbrushes.

If you live in a suite or share a bathroom with your roommate, create a space where you all hang your toothbrushes. Color code the hooks with Washi tape to make it even more efficient.

5. Hang a snack rack for added shelving.

With limited space to go around in a dorm room, you have to get creative. Use Command hooks to hang a metal spice rack on the wall for extra storage.

Running out of space for your shoes? Hang a shoe organizer on a wall or the back of your door using Command hooks. This tutorial shows you how to make it work in your space. Bonus tip: you don’t have to use the shoe organizer just for shoes; use it to stow away snacks, jewelry, school supplies…pretty much anything.

Designate a space in your dorm room for hanging your towels. By hanging them from large Command hooks, your towels will dry quicker and be more accessible.
