[ad#co-1]

Is your bedroom the most comfortable room in your home? If your answer is “No” then you have work to do. A clean and uncluttered bedroom will not only ensure you get ample rest, it will make you happy. Unfortunately, most people don’t know this and convert their bedrooms into storage areas. They conclude that since most of their time will be spent sleeping, their minds will ignore the mess. This is not the case. A disorganized bedroom will make you feel tired and bored. If you want to get a good night’s rest and smile every time you enter your bedroom, follow these New Year organization tips.

Clean Bedroom Furniture and Declutter

For your bedroom to be a tranquil haven, it must be clean and tidy. Declutter your closets and the rest of your bedroom before you clean up. Go through each drawer, shelf, and closet and remove the items you don’t need or use. Get rid of clothes you don’t need as they consume a lot of space. Sell or donate the items in good condition and throw away those that aren’t. Clean the room thoroughly and commit yourself to weekly cleaning. To keep air quality high, dust shades, vacuum drapes, and clean electronics with electrostatic cloths.

Create a List of the Things You Need

After clearing clutter and cleaning your bedroom, make a list of the things you need. For example, if your bedroom has limited storage, you can buy some organizers to help you keep things in order. Also make sure you examine the fixtures in the room to see if they are in good working condition. Are the vents working properly? Are the lights dim or bright enough? Does your bed need a new mattress cover or pad? These questions will help you to make your bedroom look spectacular.

Reduce the Amount of Bedroom Furniture

Too much furniture can make a bedroom look cramped. No matter how much you love furniture, only put a few pieces in your bedroom. Keep in mind that clutter attracts more clutter, the more furniture you have, the more you’ll add. Remove unnecessary furniture pieces and leave only the essential ones. Invite a family member or a friend to help you choose what to keep and what to toss out.

If you are tired of your cluttered bedroom, do something. Start the year off right with these New Year organization tips. You’ll wake up with new ideas, increase your productivity at work, and become a happier person. Organizing your bedroom is a good investment of your time and money.

Hooks for Regular Clothes

Bedroom is the place to be relaxed and comfortable, which is not possible if your things are strewn all over the room. Stash the clothes that you do not need often in the closet but the jackets, backpacks, purses, and umbrellas can be hung from hooks. You can use the door of the room to hang those hooks or utilize the bottom of a shelf by installing double ceiling hooks underneath it. It is an effective way if your entryway is narrow or is already filled with other stuffs.

Keep Your Shoes on Display

Shoes need to be kept at the entryways but only the ones that we use frequently. Your collection of heels or boots is usually kept at the bedroom and they need to be kept organized in order to avoid mess. A walk-in closet or a picture rail molding will be a nice accessory to display your beautiful heels. The boots can be kept in a wall cabinet with vertical shelves where each pair will remain in a separate compartment. Comfortable slippers and heavy socks are a necessity during the cooler weather. So, use a basket to keep these things at your hand’s distance in an organized way.

Organize the Jewelry Pieces

It is not a pleasing site when you see tangled jewelry pieces scattered throughout your bedroom. A jewelry holder with a display case installed on any of your walls will keep your pretty jewelry in order and give you chance to admire your favorite pieces. In order to keep small jewelry pieces like earrings, you can use ceramic watercolor palettes, which are available at any art-supply store.

Organizing Small Accessories

Smaller accessories like watches, ties, belts, tiepins, and other things often create a mess in your bedroom. You can use compartmentalized drawers, cabinets, or custom organizers to keep these things organized. Portable hooks inside your closets or any other suitable places are a good option to create a belt rack.

Nightstand & Dresser Organization

The other areas to keep attention to are your nightstands and dresser tops. While an alarm clock, light, and few books can be kept on the nightstand, it should have drawers to stash the distractive items like TV remotes, small flashlights, medicines, etc. On the other hand, the dresser top should have several boxes to keep the jewelry and makeup items in order.
