How to Declutter Your Bedroom
The bedroom is intended to be your ultimate sanctuary — a haven of profound rest and restoration where you can truly escape the clamour of the outside world. Yet, a cluttered room quickly fractures this illusion. In this article, discover how to declutter bedroom spaces by removing objects, organising your space, and using elegant furniture to foster clarity and calm.
How to declutter your bedroom mindfully
Before decluttering your bedroom, break up the space into zones: the dressing area, the bed, the reading nook etc. This gives you areas to focus on, customising your efforts for each area. For example, some areas, like dressing tables, naturally need more objects than a bed, so your decluttering efforts should adjust accordingly.
It's okay to hang onto the things you use every day. Remember that decluttering is the act of letting go of the items that no longer contribute to your sense of well-being or the room's aesthetic integrity. By removing those items, you’re creating a tranquil environment for relaxation and sleep.
Elegant storage
Invest in pieces that serve and delight in equal measure. Adorn your sanctuary with thoughtfully crafted, high-quality furniture that not only serves an organisational purpose but also introduces an air of elegance and timeless style.
Elevate your room with a beautiful chest of drawers, for instance, bringing a harmonious blend of order and sophistication to the space. Explore coordinating pieces, like matching bedside tables or wardrobes, that allow you to organise a bedroom with ease. With these considered furnishings, your space will reflect a perfect, seamless balance of function and style.
"Choose storage that shares a common design language — perhaps the same weathered oak finish, or the same brushed brass handles. This visual continuity provides an immediate sense of quiet order, even before the drawers are opened."
— Rob Cole, Buyer, Feather & Black
Intelligent design: Concealed comfort
As you continue to declutter bedroom items, you may discover larger or seasonal belongings that deserve a designated home, though not necessarily within everyday reach. Consider a luxurious ottoman bed with generous, concealed storage beneath the mattress. This offers a discreet and elegant solution to stow away bed linen or seasonal garments. Upholstered ottoman beds, such as our Orla Ottoman Bed, maintain a focus on comfort and high design. This sophisticated integration ensures the decluttering process results in both style and efficiency.
A beautiful blanket box, like our Orla Ottoman Box, placed at the foot of the bed, is an exemplary finishing touch. It serves as additional, easily accessible storage for throws and cushions, while its surface provides a luxurious spot to pause and dress.
Personal curation
As you embrace the philosophy of purposeful curation, it’s vital to find a place for treasured keepsakes and intimate possessions.
Choose a beautifully crafted jewellery chest, like our Salcombe Jewellery Chest, meticulously designed with cushioned compartments to house bracelets, rings and brooches, and discreet side panels to drape necklaces and scarves.
An elegant dressing table, such as our Sienna Dressing Table, features two trinket drawers and one larger drawer, all with dovetailed joinery and metal handles, showcasing how you can organise a bedroom without losing the personal touches that make it truly yours.
Calm space, calm mind
Learning how to declutter your bedroom is far more than a simple tidying ritual; it’s a design-led act of self-care. It involves creating a serene environment where every element is intentional, providing the restful retreat you truly deserve.
By embracing purposeful curation, investing in elegant furnishings and incorporating intelligent storage solutions, you’re not just decluttering; you’re creating a luxurious haven that resonates with peace, simplicity and the essence of your true self.
