Do not overload the nightstand with personal items – or decorated items – to keep this obvious magnet for Clutter to remove your entire bedroom untouched.
“Your nightstand doesn’t just have to look good, but it needs to work well,” says Denise Taylor designer, founder and designer in Aspen Design House. “If you have 10 books there and everyone gathered dust, choosing one and store the rest elsewhere.”
Choose Night Staff with Warehouse
Favorites Night cabinets with built-in storage on nightstands or floating shelves. Include at least one drawer and maximize space in a small bedroom by choosing a nightstand with multiple drawers.

Too many throwing pillows

Throwing pillows can do you a bed more comfortable and invitation, but too can look unwanted.
“Don’t overbearing,” Taylor advises. Suggests two sleep pillows for each person, three decorative euro pillows in front, and an optional long lumbar pillow for a pleasant look that is not covered.

Those who have no room for a chair often put a small bench at the end of the bed, but it can become another warm place for a mess. Taylor suggests the use of a multifunctional storage bench.
“Bench Osman almost width of your bed is a great place to sit and store decorative pillows while you sleep,” she says.
Storage of small bedrooms
In a small bedroom or studio apartment, select the multi-purpose storage container to cut off off seasonal clothes or bedding.

A pleasant reading nook or comfortable chair will make your bedroom functional and invitation, but a large armchair like a wing can become a storage for dirty clothes.
“To reduce the mess, we like to use a clipper or a chair that is smaller in the bedroom,” Taylor says. “This helps to eliminate the chair becomes a clothing depot.”

Don’t turn your jersey top in the airless tray.
“The top of your chest of drawers should be shaped with drawers, mirror, some family photos,” Taylor says. “Avoid placing a lot of trash on top or items you haven’t put down yet.”
In addition to furniture

Focus on basic bases to keep your space functional and simplified.
“I like the idea less in the bedroom,” Taylor says. “Everything you can do to minimize the amount of furniture in space is a good thing.”

If your bedroom doubles as an office, make sure your workspace does not become in the eye.
“Make sure you have paper storage drawers and laptop storage places so you don’t go to sleep thinking about work,” Taylor advises. “If that’s the first thing you see in the morning, it doesn’t make a relaxing, rejuvenating space.”
