When your bedroom is cluttered, it is hard to sleep well at night and relax. You should declutter the bedroom and fortunately, there are several tips that will help you do exactly that. Take the steps below and you will find yourself with a much more organized bedroom.
It is so easy to end up with way too much in a bedroom. Usually, this happens because bedrooms are typically smaller than other rooms. Also, people often use the room as storage space. Too much clutter can be avoided with the following.
Take Out All Clothes From The Dresser And The Closet
Do this first. It is a daunting task. However, it is one of the most important things when it comes to effectively declutter the bedroom. After the clothes are out, you can easily assess what you have to keep, what you need to throw away, and what you should donate.
If you just try to remove clothes from the closet and the dresser while they are still there, it is easy to miss many. When they are out, it is easier to remove more. Just be as ruthless as possible. If you have doubts you will wear something, you will most likely not wear it. So put it into another more compact storage space or get rid of it.
Do The Same With All The Other Belongings In The Room
After you get rid of the clothes you will not wear, it is time to do the same with other belongings so you can decide what to throw away, donate, or keep. Basically, this includes EVERYTHING, from jewelry to books. The only things that you should keep are those that have sentimental value or that are actually needed.
You have to be as ruthless as possible. Throw away what cannot be repaired or is too damaged. Donate everything in great condition that you will not need.
Improve Your Bedroom Storage Solutions
After decluttering, start looking for smart storage solutions. This helps you to have an organized bedroom without clutter. Countless storage solutions are nowadays available, with the following being very popular and useful:
- Jewelry boxes

Storage solutions are great to maintain organized bedrooms free of clutter.
Stop Hoarding And Keep Things Organized
After decluttering, it is time to take the needed steps to avoid clutter from appearing again. The first step towards that is stopping yourself from hoarding. This is easier said than done but you just have to do it.
Then, you have to practice keeping your things organized. You have to take time so you put your things away and you should never leave your clothes out in the open. When you get used to doing that, it is harder to end up with clutter since you put things away constantly.
