The bedroom should be a serene retreat from the chaos of every day life. A place to unwind and rejuvenate. But if clutter is accumulating in your bedroom, it can be almost impossible to relax and get the rest you need to face the day.

For some reason, bedrooms seem especially prone to clutter. From books to clothing and little knick knacks, things can accumulate at a staggering pace. If your bedroom is starting to feel like that last place you’d ever want to relax, then it’s time to get organized. The longer you let things pile up, the harder the clean up assignment will be. So do not wait too long to get your bedroom back in shape. Before you roll up your sleeves and get started, take a look at this quick overview to get some organizational inspiration.

There are three basic types of storage: accessible storage, hideaway storage and decorative storage.

Accessible storage includes shelves and racks that provide quick and convenient access and help organize items. For example, special space saving hangers that can fit 6 pair of slacks, or other easy-to-use closet racks that allow you to store your items in the most efficient ways possible.

Hideaway storage makes use of items like plastic bins and plastic bags that can be compressed to free up more space. Rather than being prominently displayed, these storage devices are intended to be tucked away beneath the bed or in a basement or attic. It’s advised to use them for seasonal storage or seldom used items.

Decorative storage complements your bedroom furniture and can be integrated into your overall design scheme. You could use an extra dresser, an armoire or attractive baskets of all sizes placed on bookshelves.

Now that you have some understanding about the different types of storage units available for bedrooms it is time to choose the storage type that works best for your needs.

Ready or not, it’s time to get started with the bedroom organization process:

To get started, we will need to prepare all the supplies. You will need some boxes that will be clearly marked for items in your bedroom that require sorting. Here are a few labels that might be used: shoes, papers, clothes, books, and magazines. Read more »

Let me tell you a short story about duvet. To start with, when my oldest son was in his 20’s, I had never heard of duvet. Being “Mr. fashionable”, he proudly announced to me that he wanted a duvet for Christmas. I shrugged with question marks floating around my head. Off we went to the local department store where we found huge zippered washable bags in dyed monochrome colors designed to prevent soiling your large investment in your new down comforter (which was priced at either the arm or the leg of the “arm and a leg”).

Fast forward to today. Comforters which are affordable and durable. And Duvet covers which are, well, in a word (thinking…… can’t come up with a word…) elegant, colorful, stylish, beautiful, classy, (may I say “sexy”?) and all of that. And add to that, affordable. Things have not only changed, Duvet has been re-defined. Companies such as Le Vele, Blancho, Arya, Dophia and a multitude of others have been marketing duvet ensembles which can take one’s breath away with their sheer beauty and elegance.

Of course when you are ready to purchase your duvet ensemble, there are a few practical points you need to look for. For one, if you are going to use your cover over an existing comforter, be sure you have one of the “thin” comforters as the thicker they are, the more this becomes problematic. You also want to have a cover which closes easily to keep the comforter secure without having to deal with getting it stuck in a clumsy zippered closure (like they had in my son’s day). And don’t be afraid of color. Look at what’s out there in terms of getting something out of the ordinary. The day of the bland bedroom are over. When you’ve checked out all the possibilities, you head will likely be spinning with ideas, so go for it! Get the one YOU felt was outstanding, and enjoy your new look in the room where you are spending about half your life! Read more »
