Room organizing!?

Question

anyone got tips for organizing rooms?

Answer 1

Storage boxes! Go through everything in your room and sort them out!

Answer 2

get the really big plastic boxes and put all ur junk in them then hide them in ur closet

Answer 3

- remove what shouldn't be there (trash, dirty clothes, things belonging to other people, things belonging in other rooms) and make arrangements for them (take to trash can, give back to other people, put away in the correct spot, etc)

- buy plastic tubs, shelving, shoe racks, jewelry boxes, hooks, extra laundry hamper, etc so that the clutter can get put away neatly

- throw away or donate what you don't need or haven't used in a year, anything that you just can't part with but don't use often should be boxed up and put in an area not often used (attic, top shelf of closet, etc - avoid basements though as they are often humid or can get flooded)

- hang up clothes, jackets, bookbags out of side in a closet and put shoes on a hanging or freestanding rack (also preferably in a closet), buy a magazine rack for books and magazines

- if you are into collectables (figurines, statues, snow globes, shot glasses, etc) buy a shadow box, decorative shelving or a curio cabinet so that your collectables are up and out of the way or hang them on the wall if possible

- place a small table, shelf or hook by the door so that people can set their belongings on it when they walk in (and not drop it on the floor)

- buy a shelf or other organizer for mail so it doesn't get lost in other clutter

- buy a file cabinet or portable file box and file folders to sort out paperwork (bills, legal/school papers, bank statements, etc), consider buying one with a lock for extra security and storing the file cabinets out of site or in a closet in case of a break in

Answer 4

Go through everything that you have first and decide what you want to keep, trash etc and separate it into categories...books, movies, papers, pictures, whatever is in the room and then buy organizational shelves, dividers, rubber maid totes, they make really cute organizational things now that will match anything...and any color...
