Do you struggle to keep your bedroom organised? Do not fear, you are not alone as many people struggle to keep this space neat, tidy and organised. Although it is normal to have a chair with clothes strewn over it and piles of mess in the bedroom, you will find that it makes what should be ashen and chilled space one that can feel stressful and this could be impacting your life in many ways. So, what can you do to keep your bedroom organised?
Have a Clear Out
The best first step is to have a clear out. It is very easy to hoard clothes and other items over the years, but this makes it difficult to keep the space neat, tidy and open. Therefore, you should have a clear out and throw away/donate or sell what you do not want or need. This can free up a huge amount of space and can feel cathartic too. You may need to be ruthless here and throw out items that you like but no longer wear. Alternatively, items that you do not want to part with could be put in storage somewhere else in the house (such as in the attic).
Add Storage
The key to keeping a bedroom organised, spacious and welcoming is storage. You need to have enough storage for your clothes and other items so that you can keep areas and surfaces clear. If you are struggling for storage space, you will find that overbed wardrobes can help save floor space and help you to create a bedroom that looks and feels bigger.
Have Dedicated Spaces
Clutter happens when you do not have homes for items, which means that piles can quickly mount and the bedroom becomes a tip. Therefore, you need to have designated areas for items in the bedroom. As an example, you could have a dedicated storage box for makeup and beauty products that you keep on your chest of drawers.
Utilise Space
You also need to be intelligent with the space that you have to work with, especially if you have a small bedroom. As an example, you might find it helpful to keep any clothes or decor that is currently out of season under the bed. This can free up a lot of room in your wardrobe but it is still easy to access these items and perform a switch once the seasons change.
These tips should come in useful and help you to get your bedroom neat, organised and spacious. It is very easy for this space to become cluttered and chaotic, but this could be creating stress in your life and even make it hard for you to get enough sleep, so it is important that action is taken.
