5 Tips On Maximizing The Space In Your Hostel Room

Whether you have a room to yourself or are sharing a room with your friend, here are ways you can make the most of your hostel space. 1. Pare Down Your Wardrobe. Bring only what you need into your hostel room. Sort through your intended wardrobe and only bring the best. For example, you can take with you two of your favourite pairs of jeans, a favourite skirt, a favourite dress, a few tops that make you look amazing and a great pair of shoes, a pair of sports shoes, a pair of sandals and a pair of boots. By mixing and matching the pieces, you can come up with lots of flattering looks. Yet your clothes would take up minimal wardrobe space so you can use the rest of your wardrobe space to store your other belongings.

File your notes in files of the same height and arrange these neatly on your shelves. Arrange your books neatly in piles or upright on the book shelves so you can reach them easily when you study. Try to keep them in shelves when not in use to reduce the clutter. 3. Keep Your Work Space Clear Get a desk caddy or a desk organizer if you must, to keep your station organized. Put current projects or work in progress in a drawer within reach to avoid clutering your table. Clear spaces make a room feel less cluttered and more spacious. Clutter increases stress. 4. Furnish Your Room. Your hostel space should be your home sweet home. Sure, you probably wouldn't be allowed to paint the walls and are likely to have to use whatever furniture the hostel provides but that doesn't mean you can't furnish the room? For starters, get a down comforter. You can dress your room up or down by simply changing the comforter cover. That bed is probably the largest item in the room and sets the look and feel of your room. A comforter covers the bed and plays a huge role in the color scheme. Since you can change the wall color, change the comforter covers to suit your mood. Throw in a few decorative pillows to give your hostel room a touch of luxury. 5. Get a bean bag If there is space, get a bean bag that matches your room decor. Resting in a bean bag as your read is a great way to unwind.
