30th Oct 2024
Ready to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary of order and calm? Whether you’re tackling a seasonal refresh or just tired of tripping over clutter, these tips will help you reclaim your space.
We're about to embark on a clutter-clearing adventure that's part Marie Kondo, part your best friend giving you top-notch life advice, so grab your superhero cape (or cosy socks – no judgment here), and let’s transform your room into a sanctuary of order and relaxation.
1. Out of Sight, Out of Mind: The Under-Bed Storage Stash
Transform your bedroom from clutter-central to a calming retreat by utilizing under-bed storage. Our Classico Under-Bed Storage Box Twin Pack is perfect for hiding away everything from spare bedding to off-season clothing. Think of it as your secret storage weapon—keeping the things you need close, but not in the way.

2. Cash in on the Clutter: Sell the Good Stuff
Got items you no longer need but are still in great shape? Turn that clutter into cash! List your unwanted treasures on Facebook Marketplace or take them to a local second-hand shop. Make sure to do a thorough cleanout of your bedside drawers; it’s got to be good Feng Shui to throw out those half-empty packets of Soothers and cords that haven’t worked since 1997, right?
Pro Tip for cord clutter: Use binder clips to fasten your laptop, phone, and other cords to your bedside table or desk. Or try cable organizers with adhesive backing to secure them to the back of furniture. No more searching for the right cord—a tidy solution that’s as stylish as it is practical.

3. Reach for the Sky: Vertical Wardrobe Wonder
Maximize your wardrobe space by thinking vertically. Stack storage boxes, like our Classico Storage Boxes, to create layers of organization. Dedicate one box to bed linen, another to out-of-season clothes, and one for all those odds and ends you can't seem to part with. Add our Classico Over-Door Storage to free up even more space by utilizing the back of your door for shoes, accessories, or scarves. Your wardrobe will go from overflowing to orderly in no time.
