Everyone knows that college dorms are a battle for space. Should you bunk your bed so you can tuck away your desk beneath it? Where will you keep your new highlighters and pens without losing them? Where will you keep your Post-It notes and tabs to stick onto your textbook? For that matter, where are you going to keep your textbooks and all of your notebooks? What about your laptop? Or your headphones to stay in the zone? Above all, where can you put all your things so that you have access but are not intruding in your roommates space?
If you’re looking for college dorm organization ideas that save space and look great, pegboards are your new best friend.
Small Dorm Organization Tips: Maximize Your Space with Pegboards
When we were in college, we remember struggling to find a way to divide the space with roommates in a fair manner, and also find space for ourselves. It’s tough trying to keep all your belongings tidy, accessible, and tucked away. Whether you’re moving into your first dorm, returning for another semester, or helping your student get settled, a SKÅDIS pegboard can help you make the most of every inch.
How to Hang a Pegboard in a Dorm Without Damaging Walls
If you have free wall space in your college dorm, you have organizational space that can be utilized well. Most college dorms don’t allow you to use nails, which is why we suggest Command Strips as a dorm-safe tool to hang up your SKADIS pegboard. With this method, the organizational world is your oyster, and the possibilities for dorm room storage are endless.
Dorm Laptop & Electronics Storage Ideas
Once you have decided to use a SKADIS board, now it’s time to discover what you can use it for. First, let’s talk about laptops. It’s 2025 and while paper and pen most certainly are not obsolete, most of your classwork is going to be submitted electronically. Your laptop is certainly going to be carried around in your backpack, but it is also going to need a safe place to store in your room. Try mounting it on the wall with our Laptop Computer Storage Hooks.
This is a safe and secure way to keep your laptop organized in your dorm room. The Laptop Computer Storage Hooks also work as a tablet holder for anyone who wants to store their tablet instead. We even have a mouse holder for you to keep your mouse right by your laptop for storage when you are done studying for the night.
Flashback to when we were college students, we loved listening to music when we were studying. If you’re like us, your headphones will need a home base, too. Check out our Headphone Display Mount for a place to put up your headphones after a study jamming session. They’ll be on your SKADIS pegboard, ready to be snatched off and put on before you walk off to class. Keep the music and the organization going.
Dorm School Supply Organization
Now, for all of your pens. Pens have a mysterious way of disappearing in college. Keep extras on hand and neatly stored in our Tiered Pen and Pencil Organizer. Writing by hand can improve memory retention, so make sure your supplies are ready when you need them. If you need a place to store your pens, we have you covered. The Tiered Pen and Pencil Organizer can keep your favorite or your spare pens safely organized, so you don’t have to run to Target or Wal-Mart if you run out.
Personalize Your Dorm Pegboard
Finally, we want to make sure that you can personalize your pegboard. We like the Personalized Pegboard SKADIS Scrabble Letter Sign as a way to express yourself in your dorm space. Make it your own!
Or, if you like to jot things down, erase, and jot down again to keep up with your busy life, or just to write a word of inspiration to help you get through those long nights studying, you can check out the SKADIS Acrylic Whiteboard | Notes Organizer to leave notes to you and your roommate. That is, if you like your roommate!
Finally, for all the clubs, events, handouts, and flyers that you get handed at your university that you want to hold onto, check out our Cork Board/Push Pin for SKADIS for a quick and easy way to pin those event flyers and reminders.
