How to Declutter Your Bedroom in a Day?

How to Declutter Your Bedrooms in a Day? | City of Creative Dreams

If your sleep zone feels like a storage area, let’s fix it by decluttering your bedroom. How do you declutter your bedroom in a day? Using simple actions and being very practical when going through your things will help you declutter your bedroom.

Why declutter your bedroom?

Bedrooms should be a place to relax and unwind. Having too much clutter or mess around, can cause you to feel stress and overwhelm.

That is not something you need when you just had a long day at work. Nor after a long day being a busy parent. When you surround yourself with clutter, it doesn’t make you feel good. Not to mention it also takes up your time and energy to find the simplest things.

Your time to choose an outfit can be cut down in half if you lose a few more clothes that you don’t use. It will also save you from the explosion of dresser drawers. No more will you have to deal with a jungle of clothes in your closet. Instead, you will get a calm, peaceful environment.

Closet

Say goodbye to that dreadful overflowing closet. Stop trying to cram more hangers inside. Definitely stop trying to use your body weight to try to close the door. We all know that when that door opens everything is just going to timber out.

So what can you do? Where do you start? There are easy ways without having to break walls down.

Let’s talk about your clothes, shall we?

For clothes lovers, this may be hard but you can do this. Think of all the clothes you could be getting if only you had more room.

Go through your clothing and remove any clothing that is worn out, that has a stain that can’t be removed or has a hole.

For the reasons that I just said above, don’t donate those clothing because the company won’t accept it. However, there is one place that will consider it. Places such as H&M will take clothes you do not want. They will also bring them to a recycling plant to repurpose them. As a result, they give you a credit or discount to their store.

Here is what H&M accept:

All clothing from any brand or company.
Clothing can be in any condition
Odd socks or mittens that don’t have a pair.
Worn-out T-shirts and/or old sheets.

Don’t forget to DONATE/RECYCLE/THROW:

Clothes that are too big, too small
A freebie that you got but never wore can donate.
Clothes that you got as a gift and just don’t like.
A bad gift or items that aren’t your taste or style anymore.
Get rid of old broken hangers.
Donate shoes or scarves you no longer wear.
Old wallets and purses that you no longer use

Why you should consider donating clothes you do not want?

There are so many things that you can donate. The reason why you should consider donating is that someone else will love to use the items. Don’t let your belongings collect dust in your closet. Nor have it take up the room when it doesn’t need to. Send it to Goodwill or Value Village!

Drawers

If your dresser drawers can’t close then I would have to say it is time for you to go through it. Have a look through your socks, underwear, and stockings. Don’t keep them if they have holes, runs, stretches or tears.

What if this is my favourite item of clothes?

We all go through a “this is my favourite…” phrase that we can’t possibly live without, but you can!

As much as they may be your favourite sock, they have had a fabulous life. We all got something we love so much that it is now tired out and worn out. It’s time for them to retire.

Tackle your dislike pile!

As for the never been used pile or any interest in using at all pile. Give them away, and let others wear them. Also, think about ones you don’t like. For instance, maybe it may feel scratchy or too tight or just doesn’t look nice at all. Those can donate too.

Keep what you love!

Decide on jeans you actually wear and sweaters that are in great condition. If you can’t live without them and you still use them, then keep them! However, if the answer is no, then toss them in the donation pile.

The main point is to take out the ones that you don’t need. Keep the ones you actually wear. Not the ones you are planning to wear sometime.

Night Stand/ Other Surfaces

Think about what is on the top of your dresser or nightstand. Are there way too many things on your nightstand? Papers that don’t need to be there? Jewelry overload?

Nightstands should have the least amount of things. It should have an alarm clock, photo, phone charger station, lamp and/or plant.

Relocate your jewelry.

If you have all your jewelry on your nightstand you may want to consider having it in another location. Go through your jewelry. Just like the clothing make sure that you donate ones you don’t wear or don’t like. You can also consider selling it to a pawnshop for money if it’s real gold or silver. Be sure to get rid of jewelry that is broken, has rust, or in need of repair.

Remove unnecessary items.

There is no space for unnecessary items. Get rid of extra shoelaces or buttons that you don’t need. In most cases, you don’t actually need these things. If you really think you do then keep it in your sewing bag.

We all have or have gotten knickknacks from friends or family or we bought from your travels. Keep only the ones that are sentimental to you on your bookshelf or shelf. You don’t need everything.

Therefore, if you going through kid’s bedrooms, follow the same system when going through their toys and clothes.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it really makes a difference when you declutter your bedroom. Now you can sleep with ease and get out the door relatively on time. Bonus, you can actually find the clothes you want to wear faster. Yes, you can do this in a day! Therefore, all you have to do is set the time, make the hard decisions fast and be practical.

Don’t let yourself fall into the trap of keeping everything under the same. Make room for new things by getting rid of the old.
