Organizing the Master Bedroom


De-cluttering your Bedroom

A bedroom should only be used for one purpose, well ok actually two! However many people collect clutter in their bedroom because they have nowhere else to put it. When we tidy the house when someone is coming we often sling all of the junk into the bedroom because we know that nobody will go there. After a while we just forget that we put the piles of junk, then when we go to bed we’re too tired to do anything with all of the stuff. It will just get piled up on the floor and then added to.

You should start by sorting out all of the clutter, look at anything that doesn’t belong in your bedroom and then decide where it belongs. Once you have everything organized into groups you can easily place these things where they belong. You don’t even have to get that bothered with tidying them up, just make sure they’re in the right room! It’s a start at least!

All bedrooms have a lack of closet space, to resolve this common problem you should consider investing in some new storage units and cabinets, these will help you to maximize the space available in your bedroom. You can even use a specialist service to design a customized closet storage solution, you can of course do this all by yourself with just a little practice.

It can seem a little daunting when you start to look at organizing your bedroom, however if you break the project up into smaller projects it can be easier. Start by sorting out all of your clothes, put them into groups depending on the season which they get worn in. You can then put the out of season clothes into storage boxes, perhaps even under your bed in plastic boxes.

When you are looking through all of your clothes you should make sure that you try things on. If they don’t fit or you don’t need them then you should consider getting rid of them. If your clothes still fit but you don’t think you’ll wear them again then you should still consider giving them away. Don’t just throw them away, try to give them to a charity shop. Sorting out your clothes can save vital storage space in your bedroom closets. Another clutter magnet is dresser tops, these tend to accumulate all kinds of things. You should look at what’s on top of your dressers and remove anything that shouldn’t be there. If you’re at a loss where to put things then you can keep small items and lotions in baskets. You could put plastic boxes in your draws in order to keep small items safe without getting them lost.

Your bedroom should be the one room in the house which is a relaxing place to be, you need to be able to sleep easily in this room. By making the environment a nicer place to be you should be able to make this easier.

Organizing the Bathroom

There’s never enough space in the bathroom, you’ll find most are cluttered with makeup and hundreds of different beauty products. My wife uses most of the space, however that’s not to say I don’t have anything in there.

The best way to sort your bathroom out is to look through all of your makeup and beauty products. If any of it is past its use by date then you should throw it away. Then take another look at your makeup and decide which you don’t use. If you have more of one of each item then considers storing it somewhere else out of the way. As you use something up you should replace it with a new one.

Counter space in your bathroom can be very easy to clutter, however you can neaten things up with some nice decoration. Using clear canisters are very useful because you can see when you are running low on soap and shampoo.

Adding hooks to the back of doors or on the wall is a great space saving way to hang up towels and bath robes. These hooks will encourage people not to leave their towels cluttering up the floor. You should only keep one set of towels out for each person, keep all of your other towels in your airing cupboard or closet.

Medicine cabinets often accumulate lots of things, I know ours is almost at bursting point! Start by throwing anything away that’s out of date, make sure children can’t get them when throwing it away. If you have any tablets without labels on them then defiantly throw them away. Only keep useful medicines in your cabinet, if it runs out then be sure to replace it.

When it comes to a man’s shaving supplies they can be stored on a shelf, perhaps in an attractive box. A rack by the shower would also be very practical.

You do need to clean your bathroom on a regular basis, to stop your bathroom getting dirty you need to keep cleaning supplies tucked away. These can be kept in a basket which can be kept under the sink. You do need to make sure any container you use is child proof. You should put all of your cleaning supplies in the box so that you have everything you need. Back To Top Master Bedroom
