Quick Ways to Keep Your Bedroom Neat

The bedroom should be a place of tranquility and relaxation. However, it can be anything but that when you come home from a hard day of work, only to be greeted by a huge mess. There are a few simple ways to keep things under control, and it doesn't take a lot of time.

1. Make the Bed - It seems obvious, but how many of us have been in a rush to get ready in the morning, and just skipped this? Making up the bed instantly makes the room look neater. You may not be able to waste precious minutes doing this in the morning (especially if you've hit the snooze button a few times), but even pulling the sheets up is better than nothing. Better yet, throw a comforter on top, smooth it out, and you're done.

2. Get Rid of the Piles of Clothing - You know, whatever you wore the previous day that you were too tired to put in the hamper. The stuff that is clean but you didn't have time to hang back up, having had only five minutes to find something to wear. Most people probably have a hamper in their bathroom, but I find it helpful to keep a small laundry bag in the bedroom too. There are some that rest on folding frames, so you can stand it up in the corner or closet, then detach the bag from it when you're ready to do the laundry.

3. Keep Surfaces Clear- Night stands and dressers can quickly accumulate a lot of clutter. Books, magazines, movies, and the like. Try to get in the habit of taking a few minutes each evening to clear away these areas. That way, it won't seem so overwhelming. If you watch tv, you can even do this while you're watching your favorite show.

Almost everyone is short on time and long on things to do. But if you put these quick tips to use, your bedroom can be the oasis of calm that you deserve!
