Small Homes: Victoria’s Locker Room
I think my room is the best because even though its small, I made the best of its space. I think my room is especially good because it has a theme to it. Nothing fancy, just a color theme: red, black and white. This is a huge deal, but when a room is so small, you canât add anything too big that will personalize your room, so choosing a color theme is a major thing you can do to personalize your room.



Highlights of Victoriaâs Room
-
Victoria did a wonderful job at highlighting her own room.
So, mainly Iâll let her speak for herself and only add a few things in to praise her for doing such a good job. -
Buy multiple storage items to clear clutter.
Red lockers and a black desk with multiple areas for storage have been bought from Ikea. Since the lockers go upwards and so does the desk, I can store more things vertically and save space. With the Ikea desk, there are several useful shelves and several magazine holders, which could easily be a sorter for book, notes, and other papers of that sort.Note: As Victoria implied, a locker in a room is a really great way to store items while hiding them away behind a closed door. This can also be exceptionally helpful in a situation, such a studio apartment or dorm in which college students are sharing a small space and want an easy way to store their college books and supplies neatly away.
And I will have to agree with her on the use of a magazine holder. They may have come with her desk (Iâm not sure), but you can get them independently. They are a cheap and easy-to-install storage option that can be used for a variety of things. Keep in mind, magazines arenât the only things you can store in them. Depending on the type of magazine holder that you get, other options include: file folders, random papers you want immediate access to, pamphlets and anything else that you can think of that would fit without too much trouble.

Make use of extra storage areas for more storage options.
At the top of the desk, there is even more space to put books, mainly thicker albums, dictionaries, encyclopedias etc. Also, the locker walls are made of metal so you can write on them with white board markers if you ever need to remind yourself of something or if you just want to doodle. Next, since Iâm the only one living in this room, my bed is fairly small but big enough for me to sleep in leisure. This provides extra space for extra storage for things like jewelry, books, knick knacks, etc. -
Make use of a storage cart which does double-duty.
Also take care to note that Victoria used a storage cart at the end of her desk. She not only used it to store her items away but doubled it up as a printer stand. My sister did something like this in her studio apartment, I believe. But itâs always worthy of praise when I see it again. Itâs an affordable multi-purpose option that will hide away many items that would otherwise get in the way. This is a fabulous way of handling things when you donât have much money and you want a very logical way to sort random items out. Fabulous job, Victoria!
