11 Bedroom Organization Ideas to Help You Create a Relaxing Space

Keep It Organized

Use the loft: If you have a loft or attic, don’t be afraid to get up there and store items you aren’t using now but will require in the future.
Throw it away: If you have any furniture, decorations, or sports equipment you don’t need, get rid of them. Decluttering feels great.
Choose multi-use items: To maximize space, pick furniture that can be used in different ways, such as beds that can be opened for storage or chairs with fold-out beds.
Label boxes: When storing unused bedding or clothing you should label the boxes and bags, so that in the future you can see at a glance what’s inside.
Use zoning: Divide your bedroom into functional zones, such as for sleep or reading. You'll benefit from the sense of structure.

DIY Scarf or Tie Hanger

Scarves and ties can pile up on the floor and become an unnecessary source of mess. I used shower curtain rings, a hanger, twine, and hot glue to make this scarf or tie hanger to help keep my scarves organized.

Alternative Uses for Dollar Store Cooling Racks

I love buying things at the dollar store. It's so cheap, and there is always something I can find for a DIY project. I saw these cooling racks there, and I thought "what if I can use these for organizing?" It took some thinking, but I found two really awesome uses for it that have definitely made things more organized.

Storage Bin to Toy Box

Do you have one of those plastic storage bins lying around? You know, the ones we use for moving, storing decorations and tucking away clutter? I've found another great use for these bins - a toy box! Create a playful toy box with a bin, fabric and a little glue.

Closet Door Built-In Storage

Okay, so I have to admit, I have A LOT of shoes. I'm not the type to put away my summer shoes during winter, because you never know when you need a pair of flip flops or open-toe heels during the colder months (call me crazy but I don't stick with the close-toe heel rule...if there is one). Because I don't put away my summer shoes, coupled with the fact that I have a ridiculously small closet, it can look like a hot mess with the quickness. My closet is in my son's room, so even if I line my shoes up nicely, he eventually gets in there and messes them up. Hence, my need for a solution!You can organize your own closet this spring, with our expert organizer, Meggie Mangione by signing up to our online group workshop.

Crate Storage With a New Spin

I am always looking for inexpensive ways to create storage in my kids' rooms. I originally made this storage unit for my daughter but used boy-friendly colors, on the off chance that she doesn't want it. Turns out she wants it, but wants it painted fuchsia. One of the comments below from Snuttall1947 was brilliant! She is making one of these for her bathroom. Imagine what a great space to store towels and bath products vertically. Just wanted to share, in case you miss this in the comments. So many great comments on where to use this: craft rooms, closets, pantries, pool areas, garages, laundry rooms and mudrooms... I hope I didn't forget any... Possibilities are endless...

Rain Gutter Bookshelves

For those of you who tuned in to the Hometalk Facebook Live Segment on mine and Rob's house a few weeks ago, you may remember someone tuning in and suggesting I do a rain gutter bookshelf project. You may also remember Miriam relaying a shout out from an audience member named Alex, telling me that, "Bo says, 'hi mommy!'" I knew that one of my best friends here on Long Island, Alex, was tuning in for the segment at her house while she babysat my son (Bo), but I had no clue until after the segment that she was the one who suggested rain gutter bookshelves. I wanted to do this project in Bo's room but I'm literally all out of space in there so I decided to put them together for Alex's son's nursery instead. She was super pumped when I asked her if I could do them at her house and I'm so excited to introduce this project to y'all! It took a little while for me to figure out what in the world I was doing but overall, it ended up being fairly easy and I'm so happy with the finished product.

Linen Closet Organization

Hallelujah I finally have an organized linen closet!!! For roughly $60 I was able to turn my cluttered mess of a linen closet into an organized oasis (ok maybe just an oasis for my mind but still...!). I've always been a bit of a perfectionist with most things in life which also means that I've always been very organized and meticulous about my things; however, once I got married and then added a child to the mix, life tends to take over at times and things aren't quite as orderly as I'd like. Alas, this mama is on a mission to get my small home tidy and revamped!

⚒ DIY SHELF IDEAS 📚 | DIY Kids Bookshelf From Rain Gutters | Lane

My wife saw this DIY shelf idea on Pinterest, so we decided to build it because our kids need a bookshelf to put their books and this looked like the perfect kids bookshelf, and I thought it was cool that it was made from rain gutters! Our kids have a playroom where they have a lot of their books, but they didn't have a dedicated spot for their books. We decided to go to the hardware store and try to build these DIY shelves for our kids.

Electrical Spool Bookshelf/Table

I've seen tons of ideas floating around online for repurposing electrical spools and with Rob working in construction, he can always get his hands on them so I was happy to finally make Bo a little activity table.

Rustic Bed Hack With Storage

Divan beds are super cheap to buy but they are also super ugly and they don’t have any storage, all that storage potential but you can’t reach it! The space under a bed is a perfect hiding space for anything you don't need on a daily basis but my divan bed frame used up all this space with its fabric covered frame. As my current home is a bit smaller and I need every storage space I can get so it was time for this ugly duckling bed to transform in a rustic storage bed.

Add Storage Drawers Under Your Bed

I’m a big fan of great storage ideas, especially when they look adorable. Most people don't realize it, but you can store things under your bed. I used to store my shoes there, but it got all dusty. It was also difficult to put more than one line of shoes, or else I wouldn't be able to reach them. That's why I love this under-the-bed storage from an old drawer! It's super easy, and it slides out for easy storage. Check out how easy it is to make one.

Free-standing Closet Made With an Old Door

$1 Dollar Tree Kids Room Bucket Organizer

Hi Everyone, today we are in Zari's room and muffin is also joining us. I wanted to make an adorable idea I saw about how to build a toy organizer for Zari's toys using Dollar Tree buckets! It looks really cute and works so well as well. Each compartment is for different toys and keeps things very organized. I decided to build the pyramid from 6 buckets and have three levels but you can build it as high as you would like. So are you ready to DIY? Here we go. For this project all you need are a few colored baskets from the dollar store and sharped edged object to make holes, and zipties to secure the buckets to one another. Projects with convenient items that you can just pick up at a local dollar store are my favorites!We want to help you DIY, so some of the materials in this post are linked to sellers.

Awesome Jewelry Storage!

Ok, I admit it, I have way more jewelry than any one girl should, but I made a lot of it myself, for dirt cheap, so I don't feel bad I like to have things neat, organized and easy to find, so I came up with this idea for storing my jewelry, using one of those 8 X 10 photo trifold screen frames.

Rustic Wood and Copper Pipe Jewelry Hanger

If you're anything like me you have quite a collection of jewelry and adornments. For several years now I have simply hung my necklaces from 2 nails creating a tangled pile of chains and rope. That's why I decided to make this jewelry hanger. All it takes is a couple of copper pipes glued to wood and some cup hooks. It is also extremely customizable to fit your needs and style!

Old Picture Frame Turned Jewelry Organizer

So I had this old picture frame from a yard sale or my mom was tossing it - not sure, but it was in my craft stash, waiting for something fun! My jewelry was taking over the top of my dresser (seriously - could not SEE IT!), so I thought it could be just the right thing for this project. I had paint for the frame, I had some white fabric I could stencil...just needed to pick up some cork and cute push pins and I'd be in business!

Jewelry and Makeup Organization From an Old Dye Rack

My makeup started out in a travel bag that worked out ok for awhile. But then I had my colors done and figuring out what looked good on me and what worked with the colors that were best for me tor me to wear, my collection gradually began to outgrow the bag. My jewelry was the same way. I had a spot for necklaces, an old display rack, but no where for earrings. I kept them in a muslin pouch but that wasn't working at all. I'd have to dump everything out to see what I wanted to wear and it was hard on the dangly ones! I'd bought this old RIT dye rack at a benefit auction thinking I'd use it at the store as a display piece. But one day it hit me that it just might work to organize my jewelry and my makeup AND it would fit very well on my bathroom counter!
