Cardboard box bedside table, sheet curtains

My best friend in college had this box freshman year he used as a bedside table, I roasted him for it but he semi-jokingly insisted it was perfect. The thing is, the room was tight on space and the box was actually the perfect size and shape AND it was free and already in the spot… so he sort of had a point. It truly is a mindset. Similarly, my ex made me stop using this sheet as window drapes and replace it with real curtains, which look about the same and work 70% as well. (I swear I have a nice bedroom btw)

gus yeah probably, but I swear it looked like a real curtain. I had a curtain rod and it was the perfect length. New one is a little short and too translucent, but gets the job done. A sacrifice I made for honor

collapsible bed frame

i moved constantly in college and this guy changed my life. they're super cheap, you can put tons of stuff under them, and make moving so much easier.
honorable mention: those big plastic bins from ikea. they're like $10 and way stronger than a box. just dump random crap into them and deal with it in the new place (plus you can see what's inside)

Boxes with wheels that go under the bed

So it's easier to pull out once you dump alot of stuff in, if you're looking for basic storage. I recently got a floor to ceiling clothes rail though, because I wanted to put my not-clean-not-dirty-yet clothing on something other than The Chair (and actually sit in said chair to work lol), since drilling into the walls is not allowed.

Utilize ur bed

I store some if my stuff under my bed but not in a messy way. I don't have drawers so I use plastic bins that are big but pretty short for clothes and you can cover it with a duvet or your comforter/blanket or whatever.
