Simple Maintenance

Now that we have talked about how to organize your room, let's talk about how to keep it that way. Here are some simple things that you can do to keep your room looking its best.

    If you have children make a new household rule that absolutely states no toys are allowed in the master bedroom - this is your space, stand your ground.

    Take the time to make your bed every morning.

    Open your window blinds every morning and let the sun shine in! Sunshine will make your nice, clean room feel warm and cozy. You will grow to love that feeling and you will be more likely to keep your room clean.

    Be sure to wash your bed sheets at least once per week.

    If you have a laundry hamper in your bedroom, make sure you keep it under control. Try to get into the habit of doing at least one load of laundry every day or two.

  If you read or do projects in bed, use your nightstand drawer or keep a small storage bin tucked under your bed to store your current project.

    Vacuum and dust thoroughly at least once each week.

If you find that you gradually start to slip and your master bedroom begins to look cluttered again, simply repeat the Clean Sweep and start the process again.

Now that you know how to organize a bedroom, I hope that you will discover the satisfaction of reclaiming your own peaceful haven.
