7 Ways to Declutter Your Bedroom

By Tiffany Leave a Comment

Is the clutter in your room stressing you out? It’s normal for a messy room to make you nervous and anxious regardless of whether it’s your bedroom or living room.

We’re now busier than ever, so clutter happens rather quickly. It’s not unusual for people to stress over it because it can significantly affect your mood.

For this reason, you should dedicate some time to declutter your space. Not only this will make your room look better, but it will also help you feel a lot better as well.

Still, this isn’t always as simple as it sounds, depending on how much clutter you actually have. It’s important that you start today, so don’t let that pile of clothes or documents discourage you.

Proceed to the article below as we speak about the best ways to declutter your room. As you’ll see, these are simple methods and organizing tips you can implement today, so let’s start.

1.      Set the time

Decluttering can take a while, so make sure you have some time to dedicate to the process. The longer you postpone it, the more difficult will it be to return to the messy piles. For this reason, try to set a day or at least a few hours for the job.

You can split the job into little tasks and do a few each day if you’re too busy to do it all at once. Still, make sure to complete the whole thing as soon as possible.

Play some music and turn off the notifications on your phone. It’s good to remove all the distractions, so you’re not lured into procrastinating.

2.      Split your belongings into three boxes

The “three boxes” method is quite efficient when it comes to deciding what to keep and what to throw away. Sometimes, too many things in your room make it difficult to know what you have in the first place.

To put an end to this, take three boxes, and use them to separate your belongings. One box should be for the things you’ll keep, one for the things you need but can be stored away, and one for what you can part ways with.

The items you’ll keep can stay in your room, stored neatly in a drawer or another adequate place. The stuff from the second box should be stored away in your storage area.

Lastly, you should go through the box of things you no longer need and figure out if you can donate some of the stuff before throwing the rest out.

3.      Go through your wardrobe

Getting rid of clothes is often quite difficult. However, deciding what to wear from a cluttered closet can be even more stressful, causing “decision fatigue”.

In most cases, we own much more than we need and use. For this reason, go through your clothes and be decisive. Get rid of things that you didn’t wear in a year because it’s unlikely you’ll wear them now.

This is harder to do than it seems because we’re often attached to clothes, thinking we’ll wear this or that. In reality, we never do and instead just keep wearing the same 20% of our entire closet.

Go through all the racks and shelves, and you might even find some things you forgot about. Keep what you think you’ll wear, and get rid of the rest. Consider donating the clothes you no longer need if it’s still in good shape.

4.      Organize the clothes

Deciding what to keep and what to throw away is one thing. Trying to organize what you have left is an entirely different task that can be equally as time-consuming.

This is especially difficult if you don’t commit to putting things back in their place. Cleanthatfloor.com emphasizes that organizing your clothes makes it easier to decide what to wear each day.

Put all your shirts in one place, and your pants in another. Separate short sleeves from the long ones and put the shorts away from your jeans and pants. If you’re feeling extra, you can even color-coordinate everything.

5.      Separate what’s out of season

If your closet still looks cluttered, you might want to consider putting away things that are out of season. This is an excellent trick to keep everything neat and easy to go through.

Still, you can only do this if you have enough extra space to put the things away. If not, place what’s out of season on the top shelves, and the rest on the bottom ones.

This way, you can change the shelves each season. Though it sounds like too much unnecessary work, it’s going to make it easier to find certain pieces of clothes and decide on what to wear each day.

6.      Declutter your bedside cabinets

These are usually full of things you probably don’t need. In most cases, people keep all kinds of things here from documents to used tissues.

You should take some time to clear the drawers and throw away things you don’t need. Go through those documents and see what you need and what’s no longer relevant.

A good thing to keep this space in order is to get some containers. Get a separate container for documents, lip balms, tissues, and whatever else you keep in your bedside cabinet.

This way it’s easier to find things you need, especially if you need them in the middle of the night.

7.      Get rid of any furniture you don’t need

Once you cleaned all the clutter, you should glance the room to see if you like how it looks. If it still seems and feels cluttered, you might want to consider removing some furniture.

Sometimes, we cling to furniture out of habit because it often doesn’t even cross our minds that we could get rid of some.

An excellent way to do this is by freeing floor space. A cluttered floor makes every room feel messy, and once it’s cleared, it’s even easier to vacuum and clean.
