6 easy ways to declutter your bedroom

Decluttering can be as simple as hiding some of your things behind a curtain. Or putting them under the lid of a VALTORP bench or in a HEMMAFIXARE storage case that fits under the bed. At IKEA, your dream bedroom is never far away. The clutter, however, always is!

A simple chest of drawers does magic

Decluttering the bedroom? Start simple. A chest of drawers with generous drawers will have plenty of space for your everyday things. Add drawer organisers to keep everything sorted. And on top? Choose a few favourite pieces to keep on display. Put the rest away – and let the calm take over.

Don’t forget the space under the bed!

The space under the bed is easy to forget. Not surprisingly, since you usually don’t see it! Whether it’s part of the bed or freestanding boxes, this often-overlooked space offers lots of opportunities to tuck things like seasonal clothes and extra bedding away.

Open shelves and handy hooks

It might sound unexpected, but curated displays can make your bedroom feel tidier. When your favourite things are easy to see and reach, they feel considered – not cluttered. Organise by colour or theme. Rearrange until it feels right. And remember: for an organised yet personal bedroom, less is more.

Put large and small storage solutions to work

A generous wardrobe solves a lot in one go. With KOMPLEMENT interior organisers, clothes, shoes and accessories each get their own place. Choose doors that complete the look and match your style. Small solutions matter, too. A bedside table keeps the space by your bed tidy. Display a few favourites on top. Hide the rest in the drawers below.

Try a bench with undercover storage

The beauty of a bench is that it doesn’t shout about being a decluttering superhero. Whether it’s a holding station for extra blankets or stores things you use every day, but don’t want to share with the rest of the world – it gets the job done.

Curtains can cover more than windows

From clutter to calm with a simple curtain. Install a customised VIDGA rail across one wall to neatly hide shelves, boxes and wall-mounted storage. It’s a quick, easy way to switch the room to sleep mode – or guest mode. Just remember to keep things organised behind the curtain, so everything is tidy and easy to find when you need it.
