Typical bedroom decorating guidance includes things like repurposing big furniture items in a space that is still too limited or lighting up a room with beautiful décor and paintings without addressing the underlying clutter. Consider every inch of your home, including the walls and space under the bed, to build a fully organized—and functional—bedroom.
Instead, concentrate on reducing clutter, streamlining small rooms, and creating a relaxing atmosphere in your bedroom with the following bedroom organization tips. Even better, they can be used in any size bedroom.
1. Use Under-Bed Space
Under-the-bed storage is convenient since it is hidden but still available. You can keep a few things in a children’s bedroom under there, such as gift wrap, extra bed sheets, or books. Investing in a rolling storage container keeps things tidy under the bed and frees up space in your room.
2. Put Artwork on Walls
Place your artwork on the wall rather than on your dresser, nightstand, or vanity, particularly if you have a small bedroom. Keep these areas clean to give your bedroom a more streamlined appearance.
3. Organize the Room in Sections
Taking on the whole bedroom at once can be daunting. Instead, split the room into sections depending on the space’s use. As a first step, organize the bedroom, then move on to the armoires, dresser drawers, and wardrobes. This way, you can start by decluttering and organizing your storage room.
Next, tidy all flat areas in your apartment, such as the tops of dressers and night tables, as well as any bookcases. You’ll know exactly what should and should be kept in the under-the-bed section if you finish last.
4. Declutter Closets
And if your bedroom is spotless, but your wardrobe is out of control, it will detract from the peaceful, serene atmosphere. Furthermore, a cluttered wardrobe means more time spent getting dressed in the morning, as well as difficulty in getting out the door and to work on time. Reduce the stress of your life by cleaning out your wardrobe.
To begin, clean up your closet by doing a full closet organizing or a simple closet clutter sweep. If necessary, include a storage system. Once you’ve been through your clothing, recycle what you don’t need and relax in your clean, calm environment.
5. Store Blankets on a Rack
Consider a pretty blanket rack if you have a lot of covers, wraps, and quilts that you use often and have the floor space. An antique or thrift shop can have one. This would make it easier to make the bed and get it ready for bedtime (“turn down”). You won’t be tempted to toss anything on the floor, either.
6. Place Pillows in Baskets
More throw pillows equal to a more luxurious bed, right? That is, when it comes time to use the bed at night and you have to find a spot for them. When you’re using the bed, stripping the bed, and doing the laundry, keep decorative pillows in bins.
7. Create a Functional, Clutter-Free Nightstand
Instead of importing a table or desk, find a night table that meets your desires while taking up the least amount of space available. Some experienced organizers use a small dresser where they can stack any clothes as a space-saving trick for clients who live in small spaces. If you don’t have enough room for a tiny dresser, consider a slender nightstand with several drawers.
8. Have a Place for Dirty Clothes
A hamper in the closet, next to the closet, or near the closet will keep your clothes compact rather than spilling all over your room. You may pick one that matches your décor or just use a standard hamper.
