The bedroom can become a heap of things that do not have anywhere else to go, if you are not careful. Many people use their bedrooms to hide things that they do not want lying around the house. It acts as a veritable cave for storing extra blankets that will not fit in the linen closet, old photos, instruction booklets for electronics, extra socks waiting for their mates, magazines and catalogues, half unpacked suitcases and an endless list of other things that can accumulate.
Sometimes it may feel like an impossible task to clean your room. Where do you put things that do not have anywhere to go? This is a problem for many people. Here we will discuss a few options for storing and getting rid of all that extra junk.
It helps to categorize the heaps of junk that you have. Separate them into paper bags, boxes, laundry baskets or just separate the piles on your bed. Start with the largest items first. If you have a heap of coats, hang them in a spare bedroom or make an effort to keep them in the coat closet from now on.
Shoes should have a special area in the bottom of your closet. If you are storing photo albums and stacks of books in your closet, then you need to move them to another area that you do not use as much. If you need to, add shelves to your closet for storage, or invest in a cedar chest or two to take care of those odds and ends. Get all of your laundry done at once and throw away all of those socks that do not have mates. If you think that the mates will show up, then keep a small basket on a closet shelf for spare socks. Add to it when necessary and go through it about once a month. This will help you determine which socks need to go.
Bills, junk mail, receipts, magazines and catalogues are common objects to build up on a bedroom dresser or desk. Take them all and organize them. Only keep catalogues for places that you can not shop online for. Magazines can be recycled or donated to a doctor’s office or hospital lobby. If you really like some of the articles, go through and cut them out. Either scan them to your computer and keep a file, or tape them to notebook paper and start a three ring binder of interesting or informative articles. If you read them in bed, keep a magazine rack nearby. Keep the binder, scissors and tape in the magazine rack as well. Make a habit of cutting out articles that you want to keep.
Make a special tray of bills and invest in a shredder. Make a point of shredding every bill that you pay. Organize your clothes and keep them neat by using
wooden hangers in your closet. Put as little as possible in your dresser drawers so that they do not become overstuffed and turn into heaps of laundry. Once your closet, dressers and end tables, desks and chairs are free of clutter, it is up to you to keep it that way. Identify hot spots and find a solution to the stacking dillemma.
