Save Space in the Bedroom
Bedrooms can quickly become crowded because they're usually where we stash everything we don't want houseguests and visitors to see. We are most comfortable in our bedrooms, which is why they tend to be the most cluttered room in the house. Here are some easy tips on declutter, organize, and save much needed space in the bedroom.
Instructions
1. Designate specific areas of the room for specific functions. For example: one corner for the hamper, a section for the shoe rack, another area for hanging pajamas and can-still-be-worn-before-laundry-day apparel, and a shelf for books and magazines. When areas are designated, organization becomes easier.
2. Install hanging hooks on walls and doors to help organize robes, bags, belts, caps and accessories.
3. Use storage bins for seldom-used items like winter clothes and thick blankets. Bins of assorted sizes and shapes are commercially available. Choose the ones that will fit in your cabinets, walk-in closets and under the bed.
4. Use shoeboxes to store shoes. Instead of leaving seldom-used pairs of shoes to gather dust on the , store them in their original boxes. Label each box with a description or a snapshot of the contents and stack them in the closet.
5. Make a nightstand using a plastic storage bin or thick cardboard box. Stand the box on its side and cover with a tablecloth. Store books, accessories and other items inside the makeshift nightstand.
6. Utilize the space under the bed. Keep flat storage boxes, a folding cot or a spare thin mattress hidden under the bed.
7. Utilize the space overhead. Install high shelves to store or display hats, decor, and favorite accessories. Don't forget the tops of cabinets and armoires.
8. Add a futon or a sofa bed to the room to serve as a couch as well as an instant bed for sleepovers.
9. Declutter regularly by giving away old or disfavored clothes, shoes and accessories.
