Your bedroom is one of the most important rooms in your house, but that doesn’t mean it has to look like an explosion at a paint factory. In fact, you can organize this space in a way that’s both functional and beautiful.
Here are 11 tips for maximizing your bedroom space while decluttering:
1. Start With A Clean Slate
The first step in organizing your room should involve cleaning it—and we don’t mean vacuuming or dusting.
We’re talking about removing all the clutter that’s accumulated over time and taking away items you no longer need.
Don’t be afraid to throw things away (some things have a tendency to reappear, so it’s best if they’re not hanging around).
If you have too many clothes, consider donating them or selling them at a consignment shop like Buffalo Exchange or Plato’s Closet. If there are items that you can’t part with, put them in storage for now so they won’t take up valuable space in your bedroom.
- Ask for help
If asking friends or family members is out of the question because of time constraints or feelings of embarrassment, there are several professionals who specialize in organizing spaces like bedrooms and offices: professional organizers, interior designers/stagers, etc…
2. Get Creative With Storage
Use a shoe organizer to hold your clothes. If you have a closet, hang an organizer on the back of your door that fits neatly in one of the gaps between the wall and door frame.
This will allow you to keep shoes in one area and shirts on another so that they don’t get mixed up when trying to find something specific.
Add shelves above or below chest drawers for more storage space (or less clutter). A simple solution is adding an extra shelf above or below each chest drawer so that all items are within reach but not cluttered together at eye level.
If possible, try out different heights for each section; this way, no matter what type of clothing items are stored there will be enough room for them all without having the whole thing feel crowded!
Use drawers instead of hanging racks as often as possible—it’ll save time moving around clothes when necessary but also make it easier than ever before since everything stays upright instead falling over onto itself like we always seem prone too doing when given too much space!
3. Use The Back Of Your Bedroom Door
It’s a great place to store extra towels, bathrobes, or even socks and underwear. If you have space above the door, hang jewelry or scarves there instead (and then make sure they are all organized too).
Underneath is another great spot for shoes – just make sure they are within reach so that they can be put on quickly!
4. Add Wall Shelves
Wall shelves are a great way to add storage space to your room. They’re especially useful if you have a lot of books and other items that need to be stored.
However, before buying any wall shelves (or any type of furniture for that matter), make sure that you measure the space where you want them and ask yourself: what will fit?
Although floor-to-ceiling bookcases might look good from afar, they may not be practical if there’s no room behind them for people or objects to pass through. Be sure that everything has its own designated place so nothing gets lost in the shuffle!
You should also consider placing your bookshelf at eye level so it’s easy for everyone in the family younger kids and adults alike to reach their favorite titles without having to bend down all the time.
If possible, place it close enough so anyone who wants something can easily reach without having to climb up onto something else first (like another chair).
This way everyone will feel comfortable using them without worrying about getting hurt while trying out new things like reading or writing stories together as a family.”
5. Install Hooks For Jewelry Or Scarves
Hooks are a great way to hang your jewelry, scarves and other accessories. You can use command hooks in the bedroom or bathroom for this purpose.
The key is finding one that’s small enough to fit in the space you want it to be hung and strong enough to hold your belongings without breaking easily.
If you don’t want anything too large or bulky hanging around your neck every day, try using a command hook from Target ($1).
The wall-mounted variety will also make it easy for guests who come over and need access into their own rooms!
If you have small framed photos on display at home then consider using one of these as well: they’re affordable ($10-$20), sturdy (they’ll last longer than plastic frames) and come in many colors too!
Just be sure not to put anything heavy like an iPad or laptop computer inside because they may break under pressure depending on how much weight there really is behind each item being held up by its support frame.”
6. Hang Baskets On The Walls
You can hang baskets on the walls to organize your shoes, scarves, and other accessories. You can use command hooks or nails to hang them up. There are a few ways you can go about this:
- Hang one basket in a row
- Hang a grid of baskets
7. Organize Your Closet
Organizing your closet is a great way to declutter, but it’ll also help you get dressed quicker every morning.
You might be surprised at how much you can reduce the amount of clothing that’s in your closet by just organizing it into categories. Here are some tips on getting started:
Consider what you want to store in your closet first. What items have sentimental value? Which ones are essential for work or school?
Do any of these need special storage? If there’s anything that doesn’t fit into these categories (like seasonal clothing), consider storing those items elsewhere while they’re not needed so they don’t clutter up the space and take up valuable floor space.
Organize by category (such as “shirts”, “pants”, etc.), color, size—anything that makes it easier for you to find what you’re looking for without spending too much time digging through everything at once.
Use baskets, drawers or shelves so each item has its own place where other items won’t interfere with its placement or cause problems later on if they need moved around due to seasonal changes or other reasons why items may change positions from time-to-time without having been touched since originally being placed there originally when organizing closets first took place several years ago when I started this project which I should really finish soon because now I’m having trouble finding things.”
8. Incorporate A Dresser Into Your Space
Dressers can be used to store clothing, jewelry, scarves and other accessories. Use your dresser to keep your shoes organized. If you have a lot of pairs of shoes then this is a great way to keep them in order. Also consider using the bottom drawer for storing underwear and socks!
9. Consolidate Some Of Your Decor And Furniture Pieces
There are many ways to do this, but we’ll start with the easiest first: get rid of the extra stuff you don’t need.
This is especially important in bedrooms since there’s a limited amount of space for storage. Once you’ve gotten rid of unneeded items from your room, it might be time to think about using the same color scheme in each room as well as using the same style furniture throughout your home (for example: if one living area has mid-century modern furniture and another has contemporary pieces).
These small changes can go a long way toward making your bedroom feel more homogenous and cohesive!
10. Take Advantage Of Space Under Your Bed Or Couch/Ottoman/Bench At The End Of Your Bed
Take advantage of space under your bed or couch/ottoman/bench at the end of your bed.
If you have a small bedroom, chances are that some of the most valuable storage space is under your bed.
You can store seasonal items like winter coats and boots in plastic bins, leaving more room for sweaters and other clothing you may only need part of the year. If you’re not using something regularly but don’t want to throw it away just yet, put it in a plastic bin so that it’s out of sight until you need it again!
Another great way to utilize this area is by putting a small table or bench underneath for extra storage you can put books on them or even store magazines or stationary supplies there if needed! This will help declutter both above and below-the-bed areas without taking up too much space (and keep those things off your nightstand).
Use the space under a couch for blankets and pillows instead!
11. Don’t Forget About The Ceiling! Install Shelves For Books, Art Supplies, Etc.
If you don’t feel like installing a ceiling shelf, another option is to hang something on the wall like a mirror or artwork. This will also add some extra height to your room.
If you want to go for something even more interesting, consider putting up a chandelier in your bedroom.
These are very common in places like France and Italy but they can look great in almost any room! Just make sure it’s securely fastened so that it doesn’t fall down while you’re sleeping!
