Imagine waking up every morning to an organized, clutter-free bedroom with all your clothes on the hangers and no shirts hanging out of the drawers. Now, that’s the dream! Some may argue that your living room or kitchen is the room that deserves the most cleanliness and attention, however, we beg to differ. After all, the bedroom is the first place you start your day and conclude your day. Our mental health correlates to our environment, therefore, keeping your bedroom organized is key. A clean, clutter-free bedroom equals a peaceful surrounding. When your bedroom is dirty and disorganized, you’ll also be creating a welcoming invitation to critters, germs, and dust. Not only will it negatively affect your daily mood, but overlooking the cleanliness of your space can lead to additional consequences around your health. You’ll be feeling relaxed and at ease waking up in the morning by maintaining a orderly and spot free space. Keep reading to discover a few tips to declutter your bedroom and how it can be easily incorporated in your daily routine. Pick a Hamper That Works For You Let’s be real – we all have that corner or chair in our bedroom that continuously grows with clothes we’ve worn throughout the week. In order to avoid a pile of clothes on our floor, bed, or chair have a laundry basket or hamper in your room. Pick a laundry basket that fits your bedroom décor like a sleek colorful basket or a wooden laundry hamper with a lid. No need to have a flashy laundry hamper; instead, find a size that works best for your room or stick it in your closet. Make it a continual habit to place your dirty clothes into the hamper instead of immediately throwing it on your floor. Use Bowls and Trays to Contain Clutter We all have watches, jewelry, perfumes, and lotions we use on a daily basis. Typically, we want easy access to these items when rushing to get ready in the morning. Therefore, we prefer our items to be out on display on our nightstand and dresser. Streamline this look by placing all your perfumes, watches, and knickknacks in your favorite ceramic bowl or gold, brassy mirrored tray. Not only will this elevate your bedroom décor, but you are also eliminating clutter! Maximize Your Closet Space Not everyone has a luxurious, walk-in closet which is why it is important to make the most out of your available space. Most of us stick to the traditional clothes-on-the-hanger method because our closets do not have any additional extra shelf space. However, use organizational plastic drawers to store pajamas, shirts, and socks. Also, buy shoe racks to optimize the most space for storing your running shoes, work shoes, or casual sandals. Now a days, there are all sorts of hangers – back of door hangers, pant hangers, scarf hangers, and even hangers that hold multiple shirts! Not only are these closet organizers a great start for decluttering your closet, but commit to decreasing the amount of items you own. Spend some time every month and sort through your clothes you no longer wear, then donate to your local charity. Daily Cleaning Habits for Your Bedroom Space The more you make it a conscious effort to keep your bedroom clean, the less time you will have to spend cleaning it on a regular basis. Make it a habit to vacuum your carpet or sweep your hardwood floor every other week. Keep a trash bin in your room to regularly throw away all water bottles and empty snack wrappers that may pile up on your nightstand. Start your mornings off right by making your bed. Also, incorporate daily habits in your life such as taking the extra ten seconds each day to hang and fold your clothes after trying them on. Whether you a studio apartment or a traditional bedroom, these lifestyle cleaning tips will help you persistently keep your bedroom clutter-free for good. Not only will a decluttered bedroom improve your mood and energy, it also creates the perfect slumber atmosphere. Happy cleaning!
