Use these tips to get your organising off to a flying start!
Make your bed every day - little things make all the difference - you are then less likely to clutter it up, and more likely to sleep well in a more relaxing environment - and it takes less than 2 minutes!
Invest in 2 quilts - one for summer (around 4.5 tog) and one for winter (around 10 tog) - this means that at the end of the season you can get each quilt dry cleaned while you are using the other, and it will be clean and ready to go when it is used next. You can even get quilts that have 2 sections, so you can unzip and use each for the required season, and have them both together for a really cosy night!
Have spare bedding in each persons room if possible - then you know exactly where it is and its easy to get when required (or have different coloured bedding for each person in the house - then its easy to see whats what in the cupboard)
If you have a linen cupboard, pack away each set of bedding into one of its pillow cases - this way you won't lose any part of it, and it will be easy to access. You could also have a shelf for each room so that you can see at a glance where things are
Keep your bedroom as your haven - you will have a more rested nights sleep if you can't see clutter or work that need doing. This is the room to keep as minimal as possible. Have only the book that you are currently reading, a clock, a light and room for a glass of water on your bedside table, and put all clothes away straight away - keeping on top of the daily clutter will keep maintenance of this room to a minimum.
Display beautiful boxes, bags and hat boxes on top of the wardrobe if you are struggling to store them elsewhere - they make the room ore personal and can also house things that you need in the room but don't use every day (such as hats, scarves, accessories etc...)
Add in some quirky items to personalise the space - what about a coat stand to display some dresses, or a folding screen to create a more private dressing area - this is your space, so use it to add storage and functional items that are beautiful - this will relax you.
Guest bedrooms need to be ready to go at any time - you never know when it may be needed. Have bedding ready to put onto the bed - or have the bed made up (whatever you prefer), have a selection of toiletries for guests to use, and if there is an ensuite, ensure towels and toilet rolls are there ready. This will save lots of last minute stress when someone unexpectedly drops by.
Minimise the furniture you have in the room while maximising the storage - this will ensure that you have a restful space to sleep. I particularly like to use chests of drawers instead of bedside tables where possible - this eliminates the often wasted space either side of the bed - and negates the need for a separate chest of drawers elsewhere in the room.
If you have your clothes in your bedroom, then think about organising your wardrobe successfully so that you can find everything easily.
Use all the storage space that you have - under the bed is a great place to store out of season clothes, spare bedding, blankets etc... - just ensure that they are in air tight containers as this space can get dusty easily. Try a specific under bed container as these usually have wheels that make access easier. If your budget allows, get a bed that has built in storage under the mattress - I recommend this as you then get maximum storage and easy accessibility. Take a look at BED STAR for some great deals.
Have a chair in the room - this easy addition will make it easier to get dressed and you won't have to keep sitting on the bed, which can sometimes be low, or have someone still asleep in it! It also gives a place to come to read a book if you are struggling to get some quiet time in the rest of the house.
