Having enjoyed a fantastic festive season filled with good food, family and great gifts, I am definitely ready for a great - clutter free - year ahead. I was surprised to see how much clutter one can accumulate during a long break. I decided to make room for the year ahead, and thought I would share some of the helpful hints that helped me get ahead of my clutter - compliments of Bedroom Boutique.
Start with the Closet:
The bedroom closet is normally the quick fix to any mess in the bedroom, and thus, very quickly becomes the clutter Hotspot. Go through all your old clothes, shoes and belts. These can be donated to the Bedroom Boutique BADISA initiative – you will be clearing the clutter, and help someone in need. Only keep the clothes you still wear, and this will then make it easier to find the clothes you love so much, and create some space for that great new Friday night outfit you have been eyeing.
Move on to the Nightstand:
After the hard work of de-cluttering your closet, the night stand will be somewhat of a break. Remove everything you don’t need within arms reach of the bed. Put books you are not reading back on the shelf, nail files and nail polish back in the bathroom cupboard, and lotions and potions back in their place. This will already make you feel fuzzy and Zhen – like inside.
Clear under the Bed:
Another popular place for storage, or rather, hording, would be under the bed. Here I have found many long forgotten treasures – They made my dustbin look great. Be sure to clear this of all rubbish.
Avoid turning the Bedroom into an Office:
We are all guilty of it – working late nights in bed. Nowhere more comfortable, but after spoiling yourself with Percale Linen from Bedroom Boutique, the last thing you want is to ruin it with that ink stain. Keep the bedroom serene, and work in the study.
If you have tried the above, and your bedroom still doesn’t feel and look quit as fuzzy and Feng Shi’d as you had hoped, then it is definitely time for a visit to Bedroom Boutique. Our well trained staff will talk you through our Cotton to Percale ranges, ensuring that you get the look you desire. Contact Bedroom Boutique on 021 551 7904 for more information.
