Master Bedroom ideas for Organized Living

There are many bedroom ideas for organized living that can help you gain bedroom storage by using both the vertical and horizontal spaces in your bedroom.

You bedroom is a room that is seldom used. When you think about it most of the time you are in there you are sleeping, and the rest of the time the bedroom is used for storing stuff!

The bedroom storage function is how furniture for this room is designed. Dressers, bedside tables, storage benches, and even bedroom closet organizers are all designed to store stuff and help you gain control of your stuff.

They only work however, if you use them!

What kinds of stuff might you store in your bedroom?

Clothing is definitely the item that takes up the most storage space. Without specific bedroom storage space for your wardrobe it tends to pile up on all the horizontal surfaces in the room such as the floor, furniture surfaces, and the bed!

If you like to use your room as a reading sanctuary then there might be some books and magazines in the bedroom as well. But books, clothes, and other wardrobe items like shoes and jewelry are all that should be in your bedroom.

It is hard to argue with organizing expert Peter Walsh when he suggests that the bedroom should be a refuge; a private place just for you to get away from the everyday demands of the people and processes that keep you so busy in all the other spaces in your home.

If you think about your bedroom in this way it changes your ideas about how that space can and should be used.

Bedroom Ideas for Organized Living

If you lose the main focus of the master bedroom as a personal sanctuary then clutter will inevitably follow. First you have to believe in your right to have a personal sanctuary and then you must assert your rights to totally own that space.

• make the room off limits to the kids - this is your space so it must fulfil your needs. Your children have their own spaces they do not need your bedroom too!


• get rid of anything that does not meet the intended purpose of the room. The furniture and your clothes can stay but everything else gets a new home or gets tossed.


• make your bed every day - nothing screams chaos like an unmade bed. It only takes a few minutes to make the bed every day if you use a comforter or duvet. Simply pull up the sheet and the duvet and you are done. Try to make this a habit before you leave the bedroom in the morning.


• purge your closet regularly - Use the clutter control formula and get rid of an item of clothing whenever you add something new to your wardrobe.

See the great selection of storage benches you can use for storage in your master bedroom or even your living room.

• create storage solutions for shoes - if you have too many shoes get rid of some.


• install a bedroom closet organizer - definitely the best way to improve your use of space in the bedroom. You can even build one or use furniture you already have to create a cheap closet organizer.


• improve your use of horizontal storage space:
  
  • maximize underbed storage using containers for things that are not accessed often like gift wrap, Christmas decorations, or photo albums.
  • use cube storage units arranged horizontally at the foot of the bed for an instant shoe storage bench. Top it with a 4 inch foam cushion and you also have a place to sit to put your shoes on.
  • purchase a storage bed so you can make use of all that underbed storage area.
  
  
• make use of vertical space:
  
  • if you can purchase new furniture go for taller and narrow styles.
  • use a bedside organizer to corral those magazines, books, tissues and other bedside necessities.
