Make the Most of Dorm Room Space!

Dorm rooms are notorious for being small, so maximizing every inch of space is key to staying organized. While Range Kleen is primarily known for kitchenware and stove accessories, we do offer a few products that can be surprisingly useful for dorm organization.

Here's how you can leverage Range Kleen products, along with general small-space strategies, to organize your dorm:

1 Maximizing Vertical Space:

• Underbed Spacers : Range Kleen offers Underbed Spacers (also known as bed risers) that add 5.5 inches of height to your bed. This is a game-changer for dorms! It allows you to fit taller storage bins or drawers underneath, creating valuable hidden storage. These are made of durable high-density plastic and can hold a significant amount of weight (up to 300 lbs each, 1200 lbs for a set of four)!

• Hanging Pot Racks : While designed for kitchens, Range Kleen's wall-mounted pot racks (like the Expanding Pot Rack) could be repurposed for other items in a dorm.
  • Over-the-Desk Organizer: Mount a smaller wall-mounted pot rack above your desk. Instead of pots, hang small baskets, S-hooks for headphones, cables, or even clip-on lamps.
  • Accessory Hanger: In your closet or near the door, use a wall-mounted rack to hang scarves, hats, bags, or even belts.
• Utilize Walls and Doors: Beyond Range Kleen, remember to use command hooks, over-the-door organizers (for shoes, towels, or even toiletries), and floating shelves to maximize wall space.

2. Smart Storage Solutions:

• The "Dorm Room Kit": Range Kleen offers a "Dorm Room Kit" that includes a 10-ounce insulated food jar and toaster oven bakeware. While this is more for food preparation, the nesting toaster oven pieces are designed to maximize limited space, which is a good principle to apply to other areas. The insulated food jar can be useful for keeping snacks fresh or hot, reducing the need for bulkier food storage.
• 
• Clear Storage Bins: While Range Kleen doesn't specialize in general storage bins, the principle of clear plastic storage is crucial for dorms. It allows you to see what's inside, making it easier to find things and reducing clutter.
• Drawer Dividers & Organizers: For dresser drawers or desk drawers, use dividers to keep clothes, supplies, or personal items neatly separated.
• Rolling Carts: A multi-tiered rolling cart can be a lifesaver in a dorm. It can act as a movable nightstand, a portable supply station for studying, or even a mini-pantry.

3. General Dorm Organization Tips (Complementing Range Kleen Products):

• Declutter Regularly: Dorms accumulate clutter quickly. Make it a habit to go through your belongings and get rid of anything you don't need.
• Roll Clothing: To save space in drawers, roll your clothes instead of folding them flat.
• Multi-Use Furniture: Opt for furniture that serves multiple purposes, like an ottoman with hidden storage or a futon that converts into a bed.
• Designate Zones: Even in a small room, try to create distinct "zones" for sleeping, studying, and relaxing. This helps keep things organized and makes the space feel less chaotic.
• Laundry Solutions: Have a designated hamper and keep laundry supplies organized to avoid piles of dirty clothes.

By strategically using products like Range Kleen's bed risers and thinking creatively about how to repurpose other items, you can create a much more organized and functional dorm room.
