5 Quick Ways To Organize Your Bedroom

Organize your bedroom because you deserve an uncluttered place to relax.  Your bedroom is the first thing you see when you wake up every morning. It sets the tone for the rest of your day. If you open your eyes to clutter, you will start your day feeling overwhelmed.

Here are some quick tips to help get rid of clutter  in your bedroom:

Arrange the night table. Display items that look good and make sense: an alarm clock, reading glasses, a water carafe and/or glass, a vase, a book (or a small stack of books), and small framed photographs. Gauge the space, though: You don’t want it to feel crowded.

Stock the nightstand drawer. Stow away more workaday accoutrements, such as an eye mask, earplugs, lip balm, and hand and foot creams.

Declutter the dresser. Bureaus typically have smaller drawers at the top and larger ones at the bottom. Underwear belongs in top drawers, while heavier garments go in bottom ones.

Install drawer dividers. To make the most of drawer space, install plastic dividers, which are especially helpful for organizing small items like underwear, bras, and socks or stockings. (Note: Wood dividers can snag clothing.)

Use under-the-bed space. Store out-of-season clothes and other items in containers made of plastic, canvas, or wood. Keep cold-weather blankets in large plastic containers for extra protection. If you choose wood boxes, opt for cedar, which helps deter moths, and line the containers with plain unbleached muslin to counter the wood’s acidity. Use canvas for delicate items such as cashmere sweaters, which need circulating air. Make sure all clothing and blankets are cleaned before storing.
