This isn’t a cheap fix, but I got a Roomba a few weeks ago, and I programmed it to run in my bedroom daily. That has been the biggest motivator for me to get my room into a decent state, and then to keep things picked up off the floor. I finally got my “donate” boxes to the thrift store, and I’m even dusting more often, knowing that the vacuum will be running the next day no matter what day I do it.

In reply to Amy. I love Fred Meyer. Unfortunately we live in Nevada and they don't have one here. We use to live in Washington State and I shoped there all the time. I really miss that store! I love the color of those baskets too! :)

Thank you, my bedroom has a lot of clutter. I will start working on this today. I thought I was the only one!

In reply to Lynn. I have heard that if you do a mix with vodka that will help keep the smell at bay. I have not tried it but it made sense to me. Noted it because my husband also sleeps hot but he showers every morning and night.

In reply to Nancy.

The hampers were part of the Martha Stewart closet system from Home Depot and the clock is just a little battery operated clock from Amazon:

Where can you purchase hanging hampers? And your clock on the night stand–is that a free standing, battery operated clock? I know it’s recommended to avoid digital clocks, especially in a bedroom.

Would you mind sharing what gorgeous color you’ve painted the walls?;)

Our bedroom is a dumping ground for ao many things and it really bothers me. I just don’t know where to start, it is so discouraging. But I have just decided that t9morrow, 30 min of each day will be dedicated to clearing SOMETHING in my bedroom. I am promising this to you all! And to myself.

My bedroom is definitely a catch-all. Hubby has way too many clothes, but simply refuses to pare down. He grew up a poor boy and getting rid of perfectly good clothing is a sin in his mind even though he can’t/doesn’t wear half of them. I’ve tried telling him that it’s a blessing to pass them on to others, but he’s not buying it! He also has a habit of wearing something for a short period of time, then putting it on the rocker in the bedroom because he plans to wear it again and doesn’t think it needs washing yet. THAT looks ugly, too. I am a stacker, so I have too much stuff in and on my nightstand. I am very bad about washing, drying and folding clothes, but leaving the folded clothes in the laundry basket in our bedroom. It was interesting to read this article because it addresses so many of my organized bedroom fails. Looking at your minimalist bedroom makes me want to tackle our bedroom clutter. Thanks for the PUSH!

I need to find a system for our bedroom. We are currently staying with my mother in law and everything for our family of 5 is in our room, except the kids’ toys. It can get so overwhelming.

In reply to Heidi keller.

The laundry baskets were from Meijer – but I think that they are the Sterilite brand which is found at many stores 🙂

In reply to Lynn. I have this same problem! I have sprinkled the mattress with baking soda then spritzing vinegar over it in the morning and letting it sit all day. Vacuum at night and out in fresh sheets; it’s done great things! And I wash my pillows in the washer hot water; and make sure they’re thoroughly dry before using again.
