Take command of decorating<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Since NAU, like most colleges, is strict about the use of nails and thumbtacks, the best way to play by the rules while still enjoying wall d\u00e9cor is to use adhesive hanging strips or hooks like Command Strips. Purchase a variety of sizes to have on hand, and whether you use them to hang pictures, string lights or even hold your keys, you will be so glad to have them. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maximize closet space with soda tabs<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Three<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking for an excuse to polish off that case of Coke or La Croix? Soda can tabs are probably the easiest (and cheapest) way to save space in your closet! By twisting off the can tabs and sliding them over the tops of the closet hangers, they create an additional hanger hook in the tab\u2019s second hole. This allows you to fit more hangers in your closet space, potentially doubling your closet capacity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep it so fresh and so clean clean<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Smiling<\/a><\/p>\n

Nearly every college dorm bans lit candles, and some don\u2019t allow candle warmers, making it tough to keep things smelling nice. Our solution? Dryer sheets and a fan\u2014two things you probably already have lying around. By sticking a dryer sheet to a fan with tape or paper clips, the scent can be circulated through the room, making it an easy and inexpensive solution to freshen up the smell.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Stay organized with silverware holders<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Silverware organizers can do more than hold knives and forks. The compartments are perfect for organizing desk drawers, giving you an easy and organized way to keep pens, paper clips, sunglasses and more from rolling around in a desk drawer.\u202fPlus, they can also be used as a catchall for small things you don\u2019t know what to do with like rubber bands, bobby pins, buttons, loose change, etc.<\/span> The best part? You can find them at the Dollar Store!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Add storage with over-the-door organizers<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Over-the-door<\/a><\/p>\n

Whether you use it to store shoes, winter gear, extra toiletries or snacks, these organizers are perfect for adding extra storage without taking up a lot of space. Even if you\u2019re not sure what to put in it, there\u2019s no reason not to put one over every door\u2014trust me, they will be filled in no time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
