Home Upgrades That Pay OffOrganizing the Bedroom Checklist
Your bedroom should be a haven, an oasis of calm. Keep it that way with a few simple organizing tricks.
- Arrange the night table. Display items that look good and make sense: an alarm clock, reading glasses, a water carafe and/or glass, a vase, a book (or a small stack of books), and small framed photographs. Gauge the space, though: You don’t want it to feel crowded.
- Stock the nightstand drawer. Stow away more workaday accoutrements, such as an eye mask, earplugs, lip balm, and hand and foot creams.
- Declutter the dresser. Bureaus typically have smaller drawers at the top and larger ones at the bottom. Underwear belongs in top drawers, while heavier garments go in bottom ones.
