Your bedroom is arguably the most important room in the house. It’s the room we love to spend the most time in. The bedroom is a place to unwind and relax after a tough day.

Your bedroom should be a calming sanctuary and not a bomb site! Unfortunately, the bedroom is also full of belongings which we have collected over a number of years. This combined with the fact that most of us are so busy, it is easy to let it go and end up with a complete cluttered mess fast.

Here are 12 simple tips to help get your bedroom tidy,organized and aesthetically pleasing. These tips will transform your bedroom into a place you will never want to leave!

1. Declutter!

Decluttering your room is the first thing you need to do to clean up your messy room. With our busy lives, it is so easy for clutter to take over every surface of your room as the days and weeks roll by.

Clutter is linked to depression, increases stress and can also have a negative impact on the quality of your sleep. Your bedroom is supposed to be a tranquil haven for you to relax and be at peace so there is no place for clutter in your bedroom!

Tackle that clutter ruthlessly and put everything in a place where it belongs. Train yourself to let go of attachment to things you don’t actually use or need.

Blast great music, get some big rubbish bags ready and go around your entire room putting papers and anything you don’t need in the bin. Put all your clothes in the laundry or away and remove anything that doesn’t belong in your bedroom.

Next, tackle your closet. Take absolutely everything out and get rid of anything you don’t always wear and love and arrange everything you choose to keep.

Organise what you want to donate and what to throw away, clean everything, make your bed and then figure out where you want to put everything away.

Guaranteed after this is all done you will feel incredible and your room will look amazing. Just make sure you keep on top of the clutter going forward!

2. Install Built-in Shelves

Built-in or floating shelves are an excellent storage solution for your room. They’re minimal and aesthetically pleasing. Use the shelves to store your belongings and to creatively decorate your room with vases, plants, books, jewellery and other trinkets.

This will help you maximise your space to display all the things you love and everything will be so easy to find! Everything being exposed will also entice you to keep everything stored neatly as opposed to shoving stuff in a drawer or under the bed.

Built-in shelves are a practical yet stylish answer to hoarding issues!

5. Get A Chest For Extra Storage

A chest creates an incredible amount of hidden storage space in your room. You can use it to store things like photo albums, old books and other important treasures that you want to hold close but don’t want them on display. Big chests also look amazing!

The top of the chest can also be used as a seat or a place to store extra pillows and blankets at the end of your bed.

6. Standing Jewellery Organiser

Jewellery lying around can be the source of real mess and tangled stress when it comes to your bedroom. This can all be fixed by investing in a standing jewellery organiser for your dresser. You can drape all of your necklaces, hang up your earrings and keep your rings in a single place.

This way you won’t get any chains tangled again and you will easily be able to find everything you are looking for. Plus it looks amazing having all your beautiful jewels on display!

For more delicate and precious pieces you can place them inside a jewellery box next to your stand.

7. Free Standing Clothing Rack

This is a great way to keep your room tidy if you are lacking wardrobe space and your drawers are overflowing. Purchase some freestanding clothing racks on wheels and keep them in a corner against a wall.

Clothing racks don’t take up much room and can easily be moved for convenience. They can store a large amount of clothing and accessories, plus you can put all of your favourite pieces of clothing on your racks to display them. This will help you to pick your outfits, encourage you to keep your clothes neatly organised and deter you from hoarding unwanted clothes.

8. Hide All Your Cords

With all the devices we use these days we end up with a multitude of power cords bursting from an outlet somewhere in our bedroom. After a while, the cords get all tangled and messy as you keep using them without ever putting them away. This can look horrendous in your bedroom, it will make even the most tidy of rooms look messy!

Hide all your cords by using cable clips and concealing them behind your bedside table or under your bed.

9. A Rolling Cart As A Nightstand

A unique way to use a rolling cart is for a nightstand! This is amazing for storing multiple things right next to your bed for more flexibility. It’s a smart way to add clever storage into your space in a practical and minimal way. You can even roll it to somewhere different in your room or when you need to clean the floors.

Use the cart to store books, trinkets, your alarm clock, flowers, glasses, cups and even blankets. This is so handy and will really help you contain any remaining clutter.

10. Raise Your Bed For Extra Space

Do you love hiding mess under your bed? If so this tip is a game-changer for you! Purchase some bed risers and place them under the feet of your bed to create a ton more storage space under your bed. You can purchase rolling crates, boxes or baskets to keep your belongings in and then slide them under your bed.

Another option is to invest in a bed frame that has built-in storage underneath it which you can use as a linen cupboard or in place of drawers.
