In a small dorm or apartment, furniture should be as sleek and minimal as possible in order to maximize space. I love traditional decor like ornate tables, but it takes up too much space in a smaller apartment.
Find dual-purpose decor for things like jewelry or makeup that would otherwise look like clutter. Leatherology makes beautiful train case/vanity cases for makeup and beautiful jewelry organizers. They minimize clutter by allowing you to get cosmetics and jewelry out of sight and organized. The best part is that they zip up and are perfect for travel as well!
Try to use decor that doesn’t add bulk to the space, and that serves a dual purpose. A rug, curtains, a small accent chair, wall frames/decor. All of these things don’t eat in to the livable space- they just line the walls and floor, but make a huge difference to the vibe!

Additional Tips for Storing Clothes & Shoes
These under the bed shoe organizers hold 16 pairs of shoes each and are only 6 inches tall, so they fit under most beds. It also comes with a set for storing boots.
If you prefer to store boots in a shoe closet, these boot sheets are amazing for keeping your boots standing upright and organized, rather than slouching or falling over.
This over-the-door hook rack is perfect for getting some extra hanging space without having to drill any holes into the wall. They can be used for bathrooms or bedrooms.
