Your bedroom should be an oasis for rest and rejuvenation so you’ll be ready to tackle your busy day.
But too often, bedrooms are anything but that, and are sorely in need of some organization and structure.
This post will highlight all of the nooks and crannies and often forgotten spaces in your bedroom to add helpful bit of function to in order to get everything organized, and it all boils down to three main areas.
And the best thing is that these ideas are virtually effortless and will instantly make your space more organized!
Let’s get to it!
Dresser Organization
Dressers themselves come full of structure to help keep bigger items organized.
I’m talking about the drawers of course!
But especially for smaller items like socks, foundation garments like bras and undies, they’re likely to get messy in a hurry unless a bit of additional structure is added.
Fortunately, there’s a bunch of great options to help out!
Organizing Smaller Items in Dresser Drawers
This set of fabric organizing boxes comes in a variety of colors and instantly adds organization where it’s needed most.
The dividers of the bin walls keep everything separate and organized and you can configure them into a drawer to make the most of the available space.
If you have a dark bedroom, consider adding lighter organizing accessories to your space to see things easier.
This aqua and white and colored bin set will add a fun pop of brightness to any drawer, all while keeping things neat and tidy at the same time.
I love when form and function come together like this!
This set of bins offers multiple smaller sections, ensuring items won’t get stuck in between the bins, which is especially ideal for use in kid bedrooms due to that fact.
Socks and undies will always been organized with this honeycomb drawer organizer.
And it’s also a good option for scarves that aren’t too bulky as well.
For bulkier scarves, this file fold box is a good option.
Think of how much easier it’ll be to see your scarf collection when they’re organized!
You’ll get a lot more wear out of them too and they won’t just sit and collect dust.
Organizing larger sized clothing in a dresser
I love to file fold clothes when possible so that you can see what’s in the drawer, as opposed to only being able to see what’s on top when clothes are folded and stacked on top of each other as most people do.
But a common problem with the file fold method is that unless the drawer is full, the horizontal stack tends to flop over and get a bit messy.
This file fold bin solves that issue entirely and will help keep file folded clothes super neat and in place.
Flexible Drawer Organizing Option
Another way to organize drawers is with drawer dividers, which ensures you’re using the full depth and width of the drawer and really take advantage of all of the available space.
These dividers fit drawers 11-17 inches deep and there’s also an extra large size set of dividers that fit up to 20.5″ size drawers.
Measure first before deciding which set to get to ensure a perfect fit!
Jewelry Organization
Storing jewelry in a top dresser drawer is a smart way to keep your dresser clear of clutter and keep your baubles dust-free and ready to wear.
Jewelry looks so pretty in this mDesign clear plastic organizer, don’t you think?
I love that it stacks and is see though too, so that you can get a peek at the lower levels of jewelry without necessarily lifting the tray.
And the lid is a fantastic feature as well that’l help keep dust and little bits away from your most favorite pieces.
Stacking boxes are another way to keep jewelry and small accessories organized and is well sized for a decent sized jewelry collection.
Don’t forget about organizing men’s accessories!
This mDesign clear bin is perfect for keeping ties, watches, bracelets, and small accessories organized.
Another option that can work on top of a dresser or in a drawer is this gorgeous Wolf Jewelry Box.
It sure doesn’t look like much from the outside, but once you see the inside, you’ll love how cleverly it’s been designed to fit a lot in a small footprint!
Nightstand Organization
Clear off your nightstand of all but what’s essential and organize what’s left in a way that makes it very accessible.
Having an organizer right on your nightstand will make piling stuff on top of it much less appealing, which will make your room look less cluttered too!
And now for the organizer options!
Tuck this organizer tray into the top drawer or keep it on top to have everything close at hand.
The clover for the section designated for glasses is a smart feature to keep glasses scratch free.
If your bedroom has a less formal style to it, then this Umbra hammock with a spot for just a few things is a cute addition.
And another gorgeous option for corralling small items on a nightstand is this Umbra tray.
It really does hold a lot and will stop jewelry from getting knocked off the nightstand.
I totally do have a thing for Umbra-designed items. They’re so functional and pretty at the same time, so they’re safe additions and constantly on my wishlist as a result.
Adding this open geometric Umbra tray to my shopping cart right now!
As is this mirrored tray. I have the perfect spot on my long dresser that’s otherwise dark and a bit dreary.
The gold and mirror will bounce light around the room and make that area of the room feel nicer.
This grey square valet tray is an understated option for a more refined and masculine look.
And for one last nightstand organizer option, how about this wooden mind reader box? It would look really great in a room with rich colors, like navy and forrest green, but could work in other color scheme too.
Over to you!
Now that you’ve seen all of the fabulous options to help add some structure and boost the function of your bedroom, what will you tackle first?
The thing I especially love about all of these options is that they’re easy to do when you’re short on time and will really make a difference!
