1.Declutter

When it comes to organising your bedroom, you should always start by decluttering. Work your way through your belongings and separate out those items you no longer need or use. Any clothing, accessories, books, and any other items that are taking up space in your bedroom will need to be looked at during this process. When you’ve worked through your things, you can separate items you no longer want, need, or use into three piles: donate, sell, or discard. The act of decluttering first gives you a clean slate to work with on your mission to get organised.

2. Create zones

Separate your bedroom into different zones based on what they will be primarily used for. Having designated areas for sleeping, getting dressed, relaxing, and storage make your organising decisions easier to manage. Establishing clear purposes for each of the areas in your bedroomhelps to streamline the process of getting organised and give you a clear indication of where each item should livemoving forward.

3. Invest in storage

Maximise your bedroom's storage potential by investing in practical storage solutions that not only look great but function as you need them to as well! Whether it’s under-bed storage containers or an ottoman storage bed; floating shelves or stylish bedside tables with drawers; or even sliding door wardrobes or a storage ottoman at the foot of the bed; we’ve got some great products that will help you better organise your bedroom.

Top tip: Make the most of vertical space wherever possible. This is especially important for anyone trying to organise a small bedroom.

4. Optimise wardrobe space

Make the most of the space in your wardrobe by organising your clothing and accessories efficiently. Slim coat hangers can help with maximising your hanging space while adding some shelves or drawers for folded items can really help to keep all your belongings more visible and accessible. Another handy storage hack is to use storage baskets to group items such as shoes, belts, and accessories together.

Top tip: Create a system for organising yourclothing that works for you. In choosing to group items by category or colour, you could even help to streamline your morning routine too. Win-win!

5. Keep surfaces clear

While it can be super tempting to fill your sides with personal effects such as photos and knickknacks, we urge you to resist!Keep your bedside tables, dressers, and any other surfaces in your bedroom clutter-free. Obviously, there are a few exceptions. Essential items such as your bedside lamp, alarm clock, and a few decorative accents are all fine. Remember, clear surfaces can help promote a sense of calmness that is absolutely conducive to an improved sleep quality.

6. Bedside storage is a must

Choosing a bedside table or nightstand with additional built-in storage is rarely a bad idea. This enables you to keep essential items close by while keeping visual clutter to a minimum. A bedside table with drawers or shelves are handy for storing books, electronics, and other bedtime necessities such as sleep supplements or medication too.

7. Establish a daily routine

Establishing a daily routine that involves a super quick tidy up of your bedroom may help you maintain the organised vibes while preventing clutter from accumulating again. We recommend spending just a few minutes each day making your bed, putting away any discarded items clothing, and tidying up your bedroom surfaces. These small steps are a great way to keep your bedroom looking neat and optimised for sleep.

8. Add some decorative storage

Decorative storage solutions can be a great way to further enhance your bedroom décor. Stylish storage solutions such as woven baskets, decorative boxes, and funky and fabulous bins will help to add visual interest while still being functional – simply use these to store small items in a more organised manner and out of sight.

9. Add some soft furnishings

If your bedroom has space to accommodate soft furnishings, these can be used to help make it more inviting. Plush cushions, textured throws and shaggy rugs can help to soften hard lines and make your bedroom more welcoming at the end of each day.

10. Personalise your space

Finally, don't forget make your bedroom a bit more personal. Choose décor and accessories that align with your personality and preferences. Everything from your bedding and soft furnishings to your artwork and decorative accents should be a reflection of your personal style.
