Organized Bedroom = Easy Morning Routines

When your bedroom is organized, your whole day just starts out better. You may sleep better, you may feel more relaxed, and it may even reduce your stress and anxiety. Another added benefit for having an organized bedroom is that you might find you want to spend more time with your spouse! Having a room in which to enjoy each other’s company without having things in the way may open the door for more enjoyment and relaxation.
Follow these tips on how to keep your bedroom organized and from becoming a catch-all. Your life will thank you for it!

5 Steps to an Organized Bedroom

Don’t let trash clutter up your space.

This sounds so simple and easy, right? But how many of us just throw receipts, clothing tags, and other scraps of paper on the dresser, night stand, or in a chair, thinking we will pick it up later? A good idea is to have a beautiful trash can accessible by the bed or in a corner of the room. By just seeing that trash can, you will be more likely to use it. Put the trash in the can immediately. If you allow it to sit somewhere, more than likely it will become a piece of clutter in your bedroom.

Don’t let your clothes take over.

If the laundry is dirty, place it in the hamper or basket. When the hamper is full, take it to the laundry room and wash the clothes. You may find this helps keep you organized. If the laundry has been done and is clean, hang it up or fold it and put it away immediately. My boys could live out their laundry baskets, I know that for sure! But, not only will this help keep your bedroom organized, but it will save you lots of time ironing what you want to wear later.

Make getting ready for work easier by keeping an organized closet.

Are all your clothes crammed together, shoes piled in a corner? Is your hamper overflowing? That’s not a good way to start your day. A neat and organized closet makes getting up and out of the house a lot faster and less stressful for everyone, and no matter what your current closet setup is, chances are you can make it better with just a few simple changes.
You may find that purchasing a closet organizing system is the best way to tame a chaotic closet. They are readily available at most stores, with many to choose from, and can be used to hang clothes, belts, and accessories. By hanging all these things up and keeping them tidy, your items may last longer, not only saving you space and time, but also money.

Avoid the temptation to just toss it on the bed.

You might find it is easy to toss things on the bed when in a hurry. The shirt that you wore once and needs to be hung up, the sweater that got left in the car, your empty winter purse after you moved all your stuff to your summer bag—it adds up. Do that too many times and that pile will grow to epic proportions. Pretty soon, you will have no room to sleep in your own bed.

Keep your bed clear from clutter.

Take 30 seconds to hang up that shirt or put the purse in a drawer. Make your bed the most comfy, relaxing, inviting space in the room. You may find that this truly lets you relax and get a better night’s rest.
By following these bedroom organization tips, you’ll not only have an organized bedroom but also your anxiety levels will lessen, your quality of sleep will improve, and you may even find that you now have more time to spend creating precious moments with the ones you love.
