A stylish aesthetic, while keeping the mood calming and gentle, will make you smile every time you open the door.

Getting started

Your bedroom will feel more spacious and welcoming if it’s clutter-free and everything has its own place. It will be easier to keep clean and tidy too, so you’ll spend less time on household chores. It’s a special and very personal room in your home that often gets overlooked because you (and your partner) are the only people who go in there. Because it’s not on show and may only be used for sleeping, there’s a tendency to think it doesn’t matter as much as other rooms in the house. I think that’s wrong. If you can create a stylish aesthetic while keeping the mood calming and gentle, it will make you smile every time you open the door. You’ll feel more relaxed, less stressed and sleep will come much easier.

Following the four steps of my Decluttering Plan (see ssss1), start off by clearing out anything that doesn’t belong and bin or donate any items you no longer need. Focus on what you want to keep and how best to store it all in your wardrobe, chest of drawers or bedside cabinets.
