Practical Bedroom Organization Ideas
Here are my favorite and practical bedroom organization ideas to keep it organized and welcoming.
Declutter Your Wardrobe
Clothes are at the top of the list when we talk about an untidy place. Laziness cast aside, sometimes you don’t realize that you have too many clothing articles.
We can organize everything by decluttering what we don’t need. Make a box for preloved clothes that you haven’t worn in ages and donate it to someone who will.
Similarly, donate the clothes you have outgrown and throw away the ones that are in bad shape. By the end of this session, you will have a somewhat breathable wardrobe.

Store Clothing Neatly
You cannot dump your washed laundry in the cupboards and expect your bedroom to look neat.
The clothes bomb will burst right in your face when you open the cupboard doors. Here’s what you need to do.
- Hang what needs to be hung – dresses, suits, jackets.
- Stack the rest of the casual clothing inside dedicated drawers or shelves.
- A clothing set should be placed together in one place.
- Dedicate a box or drawer for socks and undergarments.
- Put belts and other accessories in an easy-to-access box.
Use the Built-in Storage
Most furniture comes with built-in storage space, such as drawers and cabinets. We often ignore them or keep hoarding them with unnecessary things.
You can place space bedsheets and duvets in these drawers if they are spacious.
Alternatively, if you are up for buying new furniture, opt for ottomans, chests, and storage benches. You get extra storage space, and they look lovely in the bedroom.
Install Some Floating Shelves
Floating shelves are a lifesaver when it comes to organizing. They fit in everywhere and look smart.
Place your to-be-read books on a shelf near your bed that are otherwise just lying around the room.
You can also place small room plants on these shelves to make your room look fresh and lively.
Use All Kinds of Storage Ideas
So, what if your closet has just one cupboard with shelves and one rod to hang clothes?
That is not an excuse for you not to use wicker baskets, cardboard boxes, hanging organizers, etc.
Use all the space you can so that your bedroom can look neater. Of course, the organization inside the closet must also be tidy, or you’ll simply lose the purpose of organizing.
Color Coordinate the Storage
Your storage boxes need not be on display. They should be tucked away nicely inside your wardrobe or closet.
However, if they need to be on display, make sure they are all of the same color and design.
No one wants to see a circus of boxes in all shapes and colors. One color and one design will make your room look tidy and organized.
Keep Surfaces Clean
Visual clutter looks the worst no matter how much you have “organized”.
If your jewelry and skincare products are lying on your vanity all the time, they will always look untidy. Use a smart tray or jewelry box for your delicate everyday items.
Similarly, tuck away your skincare products inside some storage box or drawers. The more you keep the surfaces clean, the neater your bedroom will look.
Behind the Bed Space
You can easily add shelves to the wall above your bed and place a few things. A couple of art pieces, some cute-looking, transparent boxes, or perhaps some books will complete the look.
Store Under the Bed
Most beds have enough space under the bed to store away quite heavy stuff. Again, you are most welcome to store it here, but the only catch is to store it away discretely. Use large boxes and baskets.
A smart idea is to use bed risers to increase the under-the-bed storage space.
Also, when you are done storing, don’t forget to use a bed skirt to hide the storage space. No one needs to see your storage spaces any more than you do.

Habits & Ideas for a Cleaner Bedroom
Here are some habits that you need to adopt for a cleaner bedroom.
Maintain Zones in Your Bedroom
You should designate specific spaces for the things and activities that you do in your room.
For example,
You should designate spaces for exercise, work, reading and even sleeping.
Similarly, there should be a specific place for clothing, books, and accessories.
When you know and keep, where a thing belongs, there are very less chances of clutter in the room.
Don’t Eat in the Bedroom
Your bedroom should be a clean place for resting and sleeping. You will feel extremely uneasy if you see crumbs on the bed and floor. Not to mention the insects they will attract.
Let the bedroom be a bedroom, not an everything-room!
Light Up
A dark room gives off eerie vibes and an uneasy feeling whenever you step in. Your bedroom should have multiple options for lighting that can be adjusted according to your mood.
Similarly, your wardrobe should have proper lighting as well. You need to see things properly to organize them the right way.
Vacuum Regularly
The tiny bits of threads on your carpet look dirty without you even realizing it. The dirt builds up and gives an overall dirty impression.
Make a habit of vacuuming every other day. You will see the difference in cleanliness yourself.
Make Your Bed
Your bedroom may be neat and clean, but it will always look untidy if the bed isn’t made. Adopt the habit of making your bed first thing in the morning.
Fold the duvet, set the pillows, remove creases from the bedsheet, and use a spray with a refreshing fragrance.
Start your day fresh so you can come back to a fresh bed.
Place a Trash Can
If it is not obvious enough, a trash can should be inside your room. But it should be hidden from any visitors.
Keep it inside a cabinet and throw away only dry trash.
Keep the organic trash limited to the one outside the house or in the kitchen bin. You don’t want your room to smell like rotten eggs now, do you?
