Sometimes, life gets messy and when your room is a mess, it just makes you feel worse! Keeping your room tidy is not easy, but we have answers — Here are 5 simple tips for you to start with.
Declutter
This is a good way to separate the items in your room into different storage baskets.
Start by separating them into “keep and donate” bundles. This can really help declutter your room (and also your mind).
Channel your inner Marie Kondo and be ruthless when dividing your keep and donate pile. Do your items spark joy? If not, to the donate pile they go!
Feel free to pass the donation pile to your family or friends or whomever that may need them. But before that, give thanks to show your items appreciation before giving them away for some closure.
Make Use Of Hidden Spaces
Always feel like you never have enough space for your stuff? Try utilizing hidden spaces – like under your bed!
Happen to have some shoe boxes sitting around in the corner of your room? Or some luggage hanging around? Transform them into storage boxes!
You can also get bedside caddy organizers to maximise space. They hang at the side of your bed and provide good storage space for little stuff like socks or your remote controls.
Vacuum Packing
Have a little fun when storing your lesser-used items! Try vacuum packing your stuff into little bags like this.
It’s pretty entertaining watching your stuff shrink into little packs of shrink bags.
This method saves about 80% of space! Whew, that’s a lot!!! Usually, vacuum packing is used for storing clothing, blankets, comforters, and other fabric stuff. The additional benefit of keeping them vacuum packed is that they will be well kept away from dust and moisture.
Utilizing Your Walls
Can’t seem to locate any more room for your many things? You can always look up! There is so much untapped potential in your vertical space.
Try to DIY some shelf racks to display your little trinkets. Repurpose containers to hang your hats and accessories vertically. This is also a good way to display your collection!
It’s really easy to install some hooks to spruce up your walls. You can even hang clothes that you need for the next day to save your time!
No space to have a desk? Make a floating desk to maximize space. You can fold the table in when not in use or when you need that extra space.
Organizing Your Desk
Keep your cables tidy and out of the way with a simple DIY holder to hold your phone while you charge it.
Keep your workspace clean and uncluttered. Go with something that fits your workflow. Organizing desks is not only important aesthetically but also efficiently.
Add rolling carts that are of about the same height as your desk for a seamless flow. Rolling carts add extra room and add a better flow and reach to your items while keeping the desk clear.
Organizing can keep your mind more relaxed and provide more control over your lifestyle. You can feel calmer in your own space creating a safe space for yourself. Give it a go, it might change your space for the better.
