Dorm rooms aren't exactly blank canvases—they come with rules, restrictions, and usually cinder block walls. So when it's time to make the space your own, there's one big question: how do you hang things in a dorm room without nails?
Whether you're trying to display photos, hang string lights, or mount a mirror, OOK® makes it easy with damage-free, dorm-approved hardware that works on a variety of surfaces. And the best part? Everything you need is in one simple kit.

What's inside:
- Adhesive Picture Hangers - for lightweight framed art or canvases
- Push Pins - for cork boards and soft surfaces

All of it fits in one compact kit, perfect for organizing and decorating small spaces. It's basically your RA-approved decorating tool kit.
1. Use Push Pins for Quick-Change Decor
Product to Use: OOK Clear Push Pins >
Clear push pins are perfect for cork boards, bulletin boards, or fabric walls. Use them to hang calendars, artwork, lightweight accessories, or create a vision board that keeps you inspired all semester long.
Dorm Tip: Stick with clear pins for a clean, low-profile look that won't clash with your color scheme.
2. Mount Posters with No Damage
Product to Use: OOK Poster Tape >
Forget masking tape or sticky tack that rips your posters (or your walls). OOK Poster Tape is specially designed for safe, clean poster mounting. It's easy to apply, holds well, and peels off without leaving behind residue or damage.
Dorm Tip: Hang posters in a grid layout above your bed or desk for a big impact in a small space.
3. Hang Photos or Prints with Picture Clips
Product to Use: OOK Picture Clips >
Display your favorite snapshots, postcards, or mini prints with OOK Picture Clips. Attach them to push pins, tape, or magnets, and change out your photos any time you want for a fresh look.
Dorm Tip: Use a row of clips along a piece of twine or string lights to create a cozy photo display.
4. Make the Most of Magnetic Surfaces
Product to Use: OOK Magnets >
If your dorm has a mini fridge, metal desk, or magnetic wall board, don't let that space go to waste. OOK Magnets let you hang reminders, art, or small organization without a single hole in the wall.
Dorm Tip: Use magnetic clips to hang your weekly schedule or important due dates in plain sight.
5. Start with the Dorm Kit, Add What You Need
Product to Use: OOK Dorm Kit >
The OOK Dorm Kit is a perfect starting point, but it's even more powerful when paired with add-ons like poster tape, push pins, and magnets. Together, these essentials cover every surface so you can decorate with confidence (and zero damage).
