Home Organizing - Organize Bedroom for Space and Calm

By Jane Alais 

Home organizing can begin with a bedroom that has become a clutter magnet for all the bits and pieces of your busy life. Organizing your bedroom is a great way to begin to get organized in other areas of your life. Bedrooms often become more storage area than rest area, the place to stash unfinished projects and where long term messes can be hidden for months.

Clean simple uncluttered bedrooms give you the space to unwind, sleep well and refresh, creating the opportunity for those relaxing rituals that allow you to create calm and good sleep. Waking up to an uncluttered bedroom is a positive energizing start to your day and a calming influence at night.

Create better bedroom storage and extra space by removing what doesn't belong there. This may mean looking in your closet and through drawers to remove small things that don't belong while keeping an eye out for any paper clutter you can discard. Other things to remove are the busy things such as craft and exercise equipment, or boxes with unknown contents and laundry that hasn't been put away for weeks.

Clean, clear and organize any flat surfaces. This means pick up anything on the floor, clear and clean table tops or side tables. Throw away any small surface clutter and put away what doesn't belong there. Decreased clutter instantly creates a relaxing calming response.

Any bedroom organizing includes a clothing purge. Go through each drawer tossing what is too big, small, old or not longer liked. Fold every item and fill drawers to about seventy per cent capacity for easy access. Categorize the items in each drawer.

Organize and declutter your closet. For instant space get rid of extra hangers. Use wooden hangers to keep clothes wrinkle free. Systemize your closet by hanging similar things together and buy clear shoe boxes for easy storage. This will make it much easier to get ready in the morning.

What small things do you need to organize? This may include jewelry, makeup and hair accessories. Get rid of the items that you no longer wear, like or want and containerize the rest. Put these containers in closed storage to minimize surface clutter.

Organizing your bedroom also means sorting out your reading material. Get rid of any newspapers, magazines that you are no longer reading and put all your reading material in a basket or night table.

Look at your storage. Are you using all the vertical space in your closet? Can you add more shelves, hooks or get rid of hangers? As you declutter and create designated spaces for things you will automatically create more space.

Home organizing is enhanced with an uncluttered and organized bedroom. Think beauty, function and comfort when you organize your bedroom. Simple actions such as clearing surface clutter, getting rid of unwanted items in your closet and containerizing small items can create calm and space.
