10 Organizing Hacks For Your Bedroom You Have To Try
We’ve all been there. A cluttered bedroom is not fun, and organizing can feel so overwhelming at times. Luckily, these 10 organizing hacks will help you get your bedroom back on track to being a functional and relaxing space! Having a cluttered bedroom can lead to unnecessary stress and lost items, and who has time for that? Try some or all of these organizing tips specifically for your bedroom that’ll have you feeling de-stressed and de-cluttered in no time!
1. Use Underbed Storage
Making use of the space under your bed is a great way to declutter your room and hide away some of the stuff you don’t need out in the open, such as winter clothes or suitcases. Having a loft bed, trundle bed, or platform bed are great options for maximizing the amount of under bed storage space!
Keeping designated storage bins, drawers, or bags under your bed for certain things like extra bedding is a great way to take advantage of the floor space your bed takes up. Just be sure to avoid throwing dirty socks or anything else under the bed that might compromise your organization!
2. Take Advantage Of Headboard Space
If you’re going to have a headboard, you may as well get one that works double duty for you by looking stylish and providing some extra storage to display things and keep them tidy! Using a headboard that has shelves or space along the length of the top to hold things is a smart organizational move.
Most headboards have space for your books, art, general trinkets, or basically anything you wouldn’t want to take up space in a pile on the floor or shoved away in the closet. Having a little extra storage space is always great and helps keep the room tidy with everything in its place!
3. Display Your Jewelry & AccessoriesÂ
Putting your jewelry and accessories on display for all to see is a much better way to keep small things like rings, earrings, bracelets, sunglasses, and the like from getting misplaced or lost. Using something like a jewelry stand lets you see where all your things are so you’re not spending 20 minutes searching for that one rings you wanted to wear.
Additionally, using a display keeps things from piling up in drawers or on surfaces and gives your accessories a designated “home” where you can put them back once you’re finished using them, which prevents them from becoming clutter in the future!
4. Hang Shelves With Hooks
Odds are you’re going to have some sort of shelving in your bedroom. If you’re using floating shelves, try hanging ones that have additional hooks for extra storage and extra organization! Using a shelf that has room for hanging things is a smart way to maximize wall space and to get the most out of that shelf you’re hanging.
You can hang specific things on these hooks like scarves, hats, bags, or belts that serve as nice decor while also giving these things a “home” or designated place to return to when you’re finished using them. Having spaces dedicated to certain things like this is a great way to stay organized and reduce future clutter.Â
5. Craft A DIY Charging Station
Having too many cords or things to charge at one time can be a lot to keep track of. Instead of having multiple charging cords for things strewn all over the room, have a dedicated organized space for all of them by creating a charging station! Of course, you can buy these as well, but where’s the fun in that?
They’re simple to make if you’ve got a box (an old shoebox works great!) and some scissors. Us fabric or wrapping paper to decorate the outside of the box, cut wholes for each individual cord you have, then place the outlet strip in the box, and voila! This greatly reduces lost chargers and you won’t be finding them all over your room. Yay organization!Â
6. Use A Shoe Hanger/Shelf
Shoes can be a major part of the clutter in a bedroom, especially if each pair doesn’t have a designated space in the room to call home. Using a shoe hanger or organizer is a great way to keep all your shoes in one place and to keep all pairs matched up nicely.
There are a lot of different options, from hangers that fit in your closet to organizers that roll under the bed, but each one is great for organizing and preventing clutter. You can even take it a step further and organize it by shoe type! You’ll be happy to have all your shoes easily accessible and not cluttering your floor waiting for you to trip on them.Â
7. Divide Your Drawers
A great tip for organizing is to tackle the inside of your drawers! Using dividers and splitting up your drawers into sections helps to de-clutter them and makes things much easier to find. This trick is great for desk or vanity drawers but also works well with wardrobes or bureaus!
You can buy some dividers or make your own, but you’ll probably want a few different sizes. If you’ve got organized and clutter-free drawers, the rest of your bedroom will be a breeze!
8. Hide Your Cords
This tip goes along great with tip #5, but if you’ve got bigger cords that seem to pile up all over your room, a simple charging station won’t fix that. Simply tucking away your cords or hiding them behind pieces of furniture can greatly improve the feel of your bedroom. Looking at piles of tangled cords all the time creates the feeling of clutter, even when the rest of the room may not be that bad.
Tucking away those cords can create a sense of organization and helps de-stress the space, and it may just get the ball rolling on organizing other areas of the room! There are a lot of different ways and ideas out there for hiding unsightly cords, so have fun with it and get creative! Your bedroom will thank you!
9. Keep Laundry Off The Floor
Having a place to keep all your dirty laundry is super important to maintaining an organized bedroom. It can be really easy to let clothes pile up on furniture and the floor until it’s covering all corners of the room if there isn’t a place specifically for it. Having a laundry basket that isn’t on the floor is a smart trick to keeping organized because it keeps your laundry hidden away while saving floor space and minimizing clutter!
Try a hanging laundry bag that you can keep on the back of your door or one that you can hide in your closet. Having your dirty clothes picked up and tucked away where they won’t be in the way or taking up any space is a great tip for staying organized.Â
10. Tackle It Stage By Stage
I’ve saved the best for last with possibly one of the best tips for organizing your bedroom: work in stages. It’s common knowledge that organizing can be overwhelming and stressful, but if you break up your room into sections and tackle one at a time, you’ll feel more productive and the task becomes much more manageable!
For instance, You could work in corners or tackle specific parts of the room like the closet, desk/vanity area, and bed area. Once you complete a section tick it off your list! This strategy is super effective at lessening the stress of organizing your bedroom.Â
