Bring some order to your bedroom
Five ideas to help in organizing your bedroom:
1. Under-bed storage: Stick a label on sliding or rolling under-bed storage bins so when you peek under you'll know exactly what's where. Keep extra sheets here.
2. Tame the shoe pile: "I recommend a rack over a hanging shoe (bag) any day," says Julie Morgenstern, author of "Organizing From the Inside Out."
3. Put jewelry in order: If your necklace collection has outgrown its jewelry box, but you don't have enough for a jewelry armoire, try a hanging organizer.
4. Make your bed: Treat your bed as the sanctuary it is by positioning it for use every day. If you spend three minutes each morning to tuck and fold, you'll develop a habit of keeping order in the room, which may translate into motivation for picking up that pile of clothes on the floor.
5. Toy-proof child's room: Purchase canvas clothes hampers or crunch baskets. Use a smaller one for books and art supplies and a larger one for balls or stuffed animals. Involve your child in the organizing process so he or she will be more likely to tidy up after playtime.
