How To Organise Your Bedroom

It's a new year and many of us are spending increasing amounts of time in our homes. Therefore, we can't think of a better time to grab the bull by the horns and organise your bedroom. Without a doubt, an organised bedroom can have a profound impact on both physical and mental health. Indeed, sleep is the cornerstone to our well-being. We're sure you already know this but a cluttered bedroom is not conducive to a great nights kip. Therefore, if this is a task that you've been skirting around, then dust yourself down, take a deep breath and follow our great tips.

How To Organise your Bedroom: Declutter Your Space

Sure we all love a storage hack. However, before you even get to this point you will need to declutter first. This can feel quite overwhelming, especially if you've not done it before! Indeed, the best way to approach this is by working through a 'department' at a time. Most people find it most difficult to declutter sentimental items. Therefore we advise that you start with something you have less emotional attachment first.

Sorting through your clothes can be one of the best places to start. We love the advice of Marie Kondo, the queen of organising, who recommends getting all your clothes and placing them in a big pile. From here you can systematically work through each piece. As regards to what stays or goes can be a little bit trickier. As a rule of thumb, you should pass on anything that doesn't fit, has past it best or you haven't worn for a year or so. If you don't love it then it should be re homed! Remember if the condition is still good then charity shops are always appreciative of your old threads.

Once you've culled your wardrobe then you can start on your other items. For example, you may have a bookshelf bursting with books that are just gathering dust. Again the golden rule is, if you're never going to read it again then it's time to give it away. Sentimental items can be a lot harder to part with. If you really can't bear to let it go then perhaps you could box things up and put them in your garage or loft space. If you're struggling with this bit then just take your time and don't be too hard on yourself.
