Clearing the clutter stresses you but the maintaining an order after the clearing will soothe you. Clearing can also cost you time and money as you might not know how many pairs of the same objects you have and you end up buying them again. You will also spend too much of time searching for your things. Having a bedroom with unnecessary clutters can cause an improper sleep and disrupt your life. Following are few simple tips for declutter or organize your Cluttered Bedroom.
Clean up the junk in your closet: The closet is the main clutter centre of your bedroom. The first step to clean your closet is to remove all the unworn clothes and other accessories like shoes, belts, hats and so on. You can either donate your clothes and other stuffs or toss them away. Avoid storing clothes or things with holes, tears, rips and any other damage thinking to mending them later. You can dispose or donate the items which you never wore or do not like but have stored them only because they’re worth a little money. Disposing such items will make it convenient for you to search and get the suitable dress you’re searching for.
Clean your dresser: You can clean your dresser the similar way like the closet. Take out all the items from each drawer turn by turn and clean them, wash them or throw them away if needed. It is always better to dispose away the excess items rather than storing them and letting them form a junk.
Organize the nightstand: Once you’re done with the closet clearing, move on to your nightstand clearing. Clearing a nightstand is not that difficult. Firstly, remove all the items that do not belong there and keep all the books which you’re not reading in a box or in some corner. Accessories like lotions, cosmetics and other bathroom related items should be placed in the bathroom. Items which are used frequently only should be kept on the nightstand. If you have too many things to place in your nightstand, you can install few extra shelves in order to keep the extra items.
Under the bed space: Since most of the bed rims are narrow, you will not be able to view the dusty, filled space under your bed. Also insufficient space in your room can cause traffic under your bed. Pull out all the items and clean the area under the bed. Plan on what to what not to place under the bed. Avoid storing junk which is not relevant and belongs to another room. If you do not have enough space in your room but have too many items, you can always install your bed with extra drawers to store the junk in it.
Shift your home office: If you have a home office in your bedroom to work at night, try shifting your home office to another room in order to create some space in your bedroom. A place where you sleep and relax shouldn’t contain things which will keep you engaged like your computer, project work and so on.
Opt for less furniture: The best way to keep your bedroom a clutter free is to decorate it with the least of furniture. A clear space in your bedroom creates a more soothing environment for a good night’s sleep. Installing your bedroom with large bulky pieces will create a chaos in your bedroom. Avoid placing extra or unnecessary furniture to get a spacious and airy bedroom.
