Smart storage tips for a clutter free bedroom
It’s been a long day, and you’re finally able to collapse onto your bed, only to be greeted by chaos. Clothes strewn across the floor, your items from the day scattered about, and a sense of overwhelming disarray. Sound familiar?
We know how our bedrooms can quickly turn into dumping grounds throughout the day. But fear not! Here are some practical and budget-friendly tips that can help you reclaim your bedroom as a serene haven, even amidst the chaos of daily life. Let’s dive in!
1. Create functional zones for your essentials
Incorporating the concept of “zones” into your bedroom design can help keep clutter to a minimum and bring a sense of organisation to your space. It gives you dedicated areas for specific tasks, which helps give your items a natural home.
Your zones may look different depending on your bedroom and your needs. But some examples can be:
- Setting up a beautiful vanity area with a mirror, storage for cosmetics, and proper lighting. This can create the perfect zone for make-up and getting yourself ready for the day.
- A specific spot for dressing, close to (or in) your closet, with a full length mirror and stylish laundry basket will help keep everything efficiently tidy and in its place.
- Create a reading nook with an armchair and side table to keep all your books neat and organised.
- The same concept applies to kids’ rooms, where having zones for play, reading, and study can promote organisation and productivity.
- Simply placing an open-backed bookshelf out from the wall is a novel way to section off a cosy nook for reading, complete with bean bag and a reading lamp, and by placing a desk on the other side you have a ready-made spot for homework or drawing.
2. Optimise closet space with clever solutions
Say goodbye to cluttered closets and hello to an organised oasis! Maximise the storage potential of your closet by adding extra clothing rods, and capitalise on vertical space with hanging organisers, hooks, and over-the-door shoe racks.
You can also take your organisation a step further by colour-coordinating your closet and grouping your clothing by type (e.g. top, pants, coats). Not only will it look pleasing to the eye, but it can also save you time when choosing your outfit for the day.
Don’t forget to also group together shoes, belts, scarves, and other accessories. Scarves and belts can be tricky to organise within a wardrobe, easily taking up precious storage space. Organise them by:
- Using belt hangers or roll belts into drawers with small dividers to keep each one separate.
- Folding or stacking scarves, or these too can be organised on a belt storage hanger – this keeps your scarves wrinkle-free
- Making use of a wall-mounted hat rack for casual ball caps and beanies
- Placing your ties, glasses, hair clips and jewellery in a drawer with trays
3. Declutter and organise your bedside table
The bedside table is an essential part of the bedroom, but it can be prone to becoming a clutter magnet. Tidy up this space by decluttering and organising it effectively. Use drawer dividers to separate and store items such as books, lotions, and electronic devices. Consider incorporating small trays to keep loose items and prevent them from creating a mess. Think about which items you use most frequently – by keeping only essentials within reach and ensuring everything has its designated spot, you can maintain a tidy and functional bedside table.
4. Embrace under-bed storage solutions
The space beneath your bed is often overlooked, but it can offer valuable storage space. Embrace under-bed storage solutions to make the most of this area, storing away larger items. Rolling storage drawers are practical for storing seasonal clothing, children’s toys, or extra bedding. Vacuum-sealed bags can compress bulky items allowing you to store more in the same space than you otherwise would be able to. Alternatively, opt for stylish bed frames with built-in drawers or a gas lift storage base, allowing you to keep belongings organised and out of sight while maximising floor space.
5. Invest in additional storage
Adding dressers or bedside tables with drawers will provide extra storage space for clothing and personal items. Another clever trick is to tuck your dresser inside your wardrobe if it’s large enough. By stashing your dresser away you’ll not only keep it out of sight but also save precious floor space.
Blanket boxes or ottomans with hidden storage compartments are stylish options that can store extra blankets or pillows while doubling as seating. Wall-mounted shelves or floating shelves can also help display decorative items while keeping surfaces clear.
Keep your bedroom clutter-free with smart storage
By embracing the transformative power of smart storage, you can embark on a journey towards a clutter-free bedroom that is both stylish and revitalising.
Creating functional zones, optimising closet space, decluttering your bedside table, embracing under-bed storage solutions, and investing in additional storage furniture, will help you unlock the true potential of your space, transforming it into a peaceful and orderly oasis.
