Decluttering and organising your bedroom space can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. With a little effort and some helpful tips, you can turn your messy and cluttered bedroom into a peaceful and organised sanctuary. Here are some steps to follow:
1. Start by making your bed daily.
Making your bed is more than just a chore; it’s an opportunity to embrace order and create momentum for the rest of your day. As you straighten the covers, you’re sending a message to yourself that no matter how chaotic life may feel, you have control over your immediate environment.
This seemingly mundane act can have profound effects on our well-being. It instils a sense of pride and satisfaction, boosting our self-esteem and setting us up for productivity throughout the day. When we see our neatly made bed, we are reminded that even the smallest tasks can make a difference in our lives.
Furthermore, making your bed cultivates discipline and consistency. It requires commitment to follow through on this simple task each morning, regardless of how busy or tired we may feel. By doing so, we develop resilience and strengthen our ability to tackle larger challenges with determination.
2. Get rid of anything you no longer need or use in your bedroom.
Go through your clothes, shoes, accessories, and other belongings and get rid of anything that is damaged, doesn’t fit, or you haven’t used in the last year. Enter the wisdom of Marie Kondo, the renowned decluttering expert who teaches us that if something doesn’t spark joy, it’s time to let it go. This simple yet powerful concept has the potential to transform not only our physical spaces but also our minds and hearts. By embracing this philosophy, we can create a life filled with purpose, clarity, and an abundance of joyful moments. So let’s dive in and discover how we can bid farewell to those items that no longer serve us and make room for a life brimming with happiness and contentment.
3. Once you have decluttered, it’s time to organise.
Invest in some storage solutions such as shelves, storage bins, and closet organisers. Use these to store your belongings in an orderly manner. In the video below, Reynard Lowell goes through 12 of his storage tricks for small bedrooms so you can make every inch of your storage space count.
4. Create a designated space for everything in your bedroom.
Keep your clothes in the closet, shoes in a shoe rack, and accessories in a jewellery box or drawer. This will make it easier to find what you need and keep everything in its place.
5. Keep your surfaces clear.
Avoid placing too many items on your nightstand, dresser, or desk. Only keep the essentials and put everything else away in its designated space.
6. Organise your closet.
Your wardrobe is a reflection of your inner thoughts and mindset. If it’s cluttered and disorganized, it might be a sign that your mind could use some tidying up as well. By taking the time to organise your closet, you’re also bringing clarity and intention into your life. So embrace the opportunity to declutter both your physical space and your mind, and watch as you live with purpose and focus.
7. Make it a habit to regularly declutter and organise your bedroom space.
Set aside some time each week to tidy up and put things back in their designated spaces. This video by Judy the Organizer will help you maintain a clutter-free and organised bedroom.
By decluttering and organising your bedroom, you can create a space that is not only visually appealing, but also promotes a sense of peace and tranquility. Remember, a clean and organised bedroom can have a positive impact on your overall well-being and quality of sleep. With a little effort and dedication, you can enjoy a tidy and serene bedroom that truly feels like a sanctuary. So go ahead, implement these tips, and enjoy the benefits of a clean and refreshed bedroom!
