    Decluttering Your Bedroom

    Decluttering your bedroom is a must! Organizing our bedrooms should be a top priority as it should ideally serve as a peaceful and restful space, not a source of stress.

    When our bedrooms are filled with clutter, getting rid of it can be quite overwhelming. But when you get rid of clutter in your bedroom, it ensures that you have a neat and tidy place to sleep.

    There are studies out there that suggest that a cluttered sleeping area affects your sleep. 

    Here are a few tips to start decluttering your master bedroom. The key thing to remember though that this isn't supposed to be stressful.

    Look at your Room with Fresh Eyes

    Walk into your bedroom, set a 10-minute timer on your watch or phone and look at your room with fresh eyes.

    Do you have bags and boxes of items you are waiting to donate? Do you have shoes or clothes not put away in the closet or drawers? Is your bedding worn out?

    Make notes as to what if anything needs replaced or cleaned. Also write down your thoughts on how to improve the energy in your bedroom. 

    Starting Zone

    Start by clearing one area and use it as your declutter zone.

    It can be a three-foot perimeter around your bed. The rule to use is anything placed on the starting zone is useful and won’t be thrown away. Arrange items according to different categories such as clothes, shoes, bedroom electronics and so forth.

    Visualize the Bedroom

    Take a moment to envision your ideal room while looking around at your current space. Ask yourself what furniture pieces are crucial? What's on the floor?

    Once you determine what's essential and visualize a clutter-free room, it's easy to purge unnecessary items and create your dream space!

    Clear off One Counter Space at a Time

    All flat spaces in your bedroom should be clear of clutter. Start with one counter or table if you have several of them.

    Clear off everything and remain with one or two essential things. For example, if you have a bedside table, you can clear off everything except your alarm clock and a lamp.

    Then add back stuff that you actually need.

    Choose a Shelf

    Let's tackle a shelf now that the counter(s) are clear! It doesn't matter what kind of shelf it is, let's get to work. Start with a bookshelf or closet and handle one shelf at a time.

    Pick Five Items

    Pick items you use often but are scattered around your bedroom. Create a designated spot for them and put them there daily.

    Nighttime chargers? Put them in a charging station instead of leaving them everywhere! You'll always know where they are, and it keeps things neat.

    Repeat this process for everything in your room, tackling a few items at a time.

    Donate to Charity

    Your bedroom probably has stuff you don't use anymore.

    How many clothes do you own that don't fit or aren't your style? Donate them! Find a box and fill it up with items for charity.

    Don't forget the golden rule: if you haven't worn it in a year, it's time to say goodbye!

    The Maybe Box

    Sometimes when you declutter your bedroom, there are things that you may not be sure whether you will use or throw or donate to charity. Get a large box and use it as your maybe box. It is where you will place items that you are not sure what you want to do with them. These can be sorted out once the room has been effectively uncluttered.

    Set A Schedule

    Once you are done, mark your calendar for a weekend in the future, maybe three to four months from now.

    Remember, if you want to maintain a neat and tidy bedroom, decluttering needs to be a regular habit.

    Clean on a Weekly Basis

    Don't avoid cleaning your home! It's easy to wipe down everything in your bedroom once a week.

    And don't forget to wash your bedding on hot every few weeks to get rid of pesky dust mites.

    Plus, set a deep cleaning schedule - whether it's in Spring or Fall, mark it in your calendar and stick to it!
