At the end of a long, tiring day, most of us are almost giddy with excitement to lay down in our bed. After all the stress and chaos of life, nothing sounds more heavenly than retreating to our bedrooms for some rest and relaxation. There’s only one thing that could ruin this eagerness – a messy, cluttered bedroom.

Over the years, you’re likely to have hoarded some belongings in one way or another. From clothes that you don’t wear anymore to random items that you bought on impulse, not tossing out your stuff can cause your room to look very cluttered. If the pile of clothes on your chair has been growing and you can barely see your floor, it’s time to give your room a massive wipe out. Follow these tips below to organise your space and keep it spotless every day!

1. Keep surfaces clutter-free

If you’re constantly using the top of your furniture as a storage space for your items, you’re likely to keep piling them up without wiping the surfaces clean. Nightstand, dresser and drawer tops can easily get cluttered, so it’s best to store your items away properly. If you have a ton of makeup products, jewellery and accessories lying around, consider organising them into small storage boxes or drawers. This helps you to avoid losing them in your room as well.

Develop the discipline to place your items back into their proper place after every use, and you won’t need to worry about your furniture surfaces filling up with clutter. Having a limited number of items on your furniture tops makes it incredibly easy to dust and vacuum them every week, so you can have a clean and healthy environment to sleep in.

2. Make your bed

Making your bed may be the last priority of your morning routine, but it’s an important first step in starting off your day. Tidying up your bed only takes about two minutes, but it improves the appearance of your room instantaneously. With your pillows aligned and your sheets tucked into the bed, you’ll feel a lot more motivated to keep your room clean.

In addition to a tidy bed, sleeping on a good mattress also helps you to wake up feeling refreshed and motivated. For ultimate comfort, our new DETENSE | ArcticSilk® Advanze Aire Flex™ mattress will ensure that you get quality rest at night. Using Advanze Aire Flex™ technology, this cooling mattress uses our anti-static DETENSE ArcticSilk® fabric to regulate your body temperature, disperse heat and keep you cool throughout the night. Providing multi-dimensional support, you’ll wake up feeling ache-free and energised for the day ahead!

3. Store your belongings under your bed

It’s likely that your bed takes up a significant amount of space in your room, so why not double it up as a storage space as well? A storage bed is a fantastic option for this, as you’ll be able to store up to an entire dresser worth of items under your bed. With that said, be sure that you organise the items neatly, rather than just shoving them in a disorderly manner. You can place mini storage boxes within your storage bed to create compartments for different items.

At Four Star, our storage beds are fitted with solid German Hydraulic lift system so you can access your items easily and conveniently. If you need more space, the storage bed frames can be customised to your preferences so you will get the storage capacity you need. Whether you wish to add drawers, or choose your favourite material, you will be spoilt for choice in designing your ideal storage bed for a clutter-free bedroom.

4. Take all belongings off the floor

Nothing makes a room look messier than clothes, snack wrappings, bags, work material, and any other items laying around on the floor. Aside from creating a safety hazard from tripping on something you tossed onto the floor, your room will instantly look like a mess if your belongings are laying everywhere around the room. Every item in your room should have a place where you can store them.

Instead of the floor, toss your dirty clothes into the laundry hamper, food wrappings into the bin, bags into your closet, and organise your work material into some desk storage. Your bedroom floor should always provide sufficient walking space – it’ll look a world better when it’s open and clean!

Conclusion

When it comes to maintaining your room’s cleanliness, consistent effort is key to ensuring that clutter doesn’t build up. A clean room provides a healthier environment for sleep – which ultimately improves your productivity throughout the day. With all the benefits that a storage bed provides, consider getting one for your room to increase your storage space, keep things hidden, and improve the look of your sleep environment.

With that said, don’t overlook the mattress you need to achieve better quality of sleep. From cooling to latex mattresses, shop for our range of mattresses and other bedding products at Four Star!
