Quick and Easy Tips to Declutter Your Bedroom So You Can Finally Relax

Your bedroom should be a place where you can relax, kick up your feet, and forget about the worries of the day. Read on for quick and easy tips to declutter your bedroom and make it a relaxing place to be! 🙂

Steps to Declutter Your Bedroom

The best way to get that relaxing feeling in your bedroom is to only store items in it that are genuinely needed and to keep it clutter-free.

Begin by walking into your bedroom as though you were a guest. Would you (as a guest looking in) say that your bedroom feels like a restful retreat? If not, read on.

Does the room reflect the feel you desire? Do you want a cozy feel, a hotel feel, or a spa feel? A cozy feel would incorporate earth tones, a hotel feel would incorporate dark, rich colors, and a spa feel would have soft, light colors.

Take a look at the dressers and nightstands in your room. Are they covered with clutter? Clear off the surfaces, sort the contents, and decide what you will keep and what needs to go. Some items can probably be moved to another room in the house.

Make sure there’s room to breathe and a clear path to walk. You should not have to step over things to move around.

If you like to read in the bedroom, create a reading area with a comfy chair and lamp. Place a tote nearby to hold books and magazines.

To avoid clutter, try to store as much as possible in your nightstand drawers instead of on top. Depending on the size of your nightstand, limit the items on top to a lamp, alarm clock, one photo, and a book.

Organize the drawers in your dresser and eliminate items you no longer need or want.

To hold extra pillows, blankets, or off-season clothes, put a trunk, chest, or a storage ottoman at the foot of the bed.

If you need additional storage, don’t forget about the space under the bed. There are plenty of under-bed storage options available.

You can also place a chest or bench under a window for additional storage or seating.

If you must keep items on top of your dresser, contain them in an attractive bowl, basket, or tray. You can also use a box with a lid to hold small items.

Because your bedroom is mostly used for changing clothes, reading, and sleeping, only items related to those activities should be stored there. Add just a few personal objects-too many will feel like clutter.

What’s most important is how you feel when you enter the room. Your bedroom should feel like a retreat, not chaos.

Keep tweaking your ideas until the room feels just right!
