The bedroom is a sanctuary where you can unwind and relax after a long, tiring day. A well-organized bedroom helps create an ideal, peaceful space to rejuvenate.
Here are five things in your bedroom that you should get rid of immediately to support healthy sleep and create an aesthetically pleasing oasis.
– Clothes on the floor
Learning how to tidy up your bedroom doesn’t have to be complicated. To boost your brain, clear the clutter, and simplify your bedroom—starting with the floor.
If there’s a pile of dirty laundry on the floor, put it in the hamper. If clothes are stacked at the foot of your bed, hang them up in your closet. Spend 5-10 minutes each night before bed picking up and putting away things that are on the floor.
– Cluttered papers
The bedroom should induce sleep as soon as you enter, and too much clutter (be it collections, piles of magazines, small tasks, or to-dos) will stimulate your brain, making it hard to fall asleep. Ensure your bedroom is free from cluttered papers.
– Old decorations on dressers, shelves, and bedside tables
Bedroom cleaning rules suggest you shouldn’t let clutter accumulate. Reduce the number of items on top of, and inside, your bedside table and dresser, keeping only those related to bedroom essentials. Find a better place for things that don’t belong in the bedroom.
Embrace the ‘less is more’ approach with your decor style. Remove unwanted and unloved decorations taking up space on your dresser, shelves, and bedside tables.
This could include old perfume bottles, used candles, dead plants, dried flowers, outdated artwork, and anything else that doesn’t bring you genuine joy. Only keep the essentials, such as your current book, a bedside lamp, and one of your favorite candles.
– Excess furniture
A cluttered room leads to a cluttered mind, and one thing that adds to the chaos is too much furniture. Bedroom organization can be as simple as removing any item that doesn’t serve a practical or aesthetically pleasing purpose in the space.
‘Get rid of furniture that doesn’t serve a purpose and function in a practical way,’ advises Michelle. ‘This could be a chair, dressing table, bench, desk, bedside table, or cabinet. Ask yourself if you need and love the piece, or if you could store items elsewhere?’
