Check out our top 10 Walmart door room storage ideas…

An LED lamp with outlet for charger, one of our Walmart home decor ideas

Mainstays LED Desk Organizer Lamp
Only $9.98 (reg. $11.98)!

Make the most of small spaces by picking items that serve more than one purpose. This desk lamp has built-in storage at the bottom to corral small items, like sticky notes and pens for studying. Plus you can even plug your phone or other device into the AC outlet to charge – that’s three uses in one!

Only $49 shipped!

*Note that availability may vary by region. The Mainstays Mushroom Storage Ottoman is another great option.

Another multi-use item, this storage ottoman lets you put your feet up, store extra blankets and pillows, and provide additional seating all at once. Or they can quickly pick up their mess and hide it inside when they hear you’re coming for a visit. 😉


A collapsible storage ottoman from Walmart, one of our Walmart college dorm room ideas

Mainstays Collapsible Storage Ottoman
Only $16.94 (reg. $19.88)!

Collapsible ottomans are great for there-when-you-need-it extra storage, that can also fold down and be tucked away when you don’t. They also could be stacked in closets, tucked under desks, or stored on bookshelves to create even more space.


Acrylic Color Block Trail, one of our walmart dorm room ideas, full of personal items

These Sterilite dressers are basically a college rite of passage – they’re great for everything from socks to towels. They usually fit inside a dorm closet, too, so you can really maximize your space.

Top it with the cute acrylic tray to contain keys, earbuds, their student ID, lanyard, and much more.

Closet with children's clothes hanging on plastic hangers

Pick up a couple packs of these sturdy plastic Mainstays hangers to keep all your clothes organized and neat.


A closet organizer with shoes and other college items

Perfect for organizing shoes, purses, hats, clothing, towels, and more – these 4 shelf closet organizers can be used in a closet or anywhere in your dorm room!

A rolling utility cart can be used in so many ways! In addition to the normal craft supplies, odds and ends, toiletries and more, we think using them as a mobile study zone filled with school supplies is super smart.

A storage cart full of dorm room snacks

And if you like to keep your dorm room stocked with snacks and drinks, they would all fit nicely, too!

Dress up your apartment walls while adding more space for showing off pictures, decor, or your concert memorabilia by putting up a few shelves. You could even stack a few of the floating shelves up the corner of the room and tuck in LED or fairy lights.
