While we are in lockdown with nothing other to do than keep the house clean with the occasional Netflix binge, I thought I would put together five key steps that you should follow in order to keep your bedroom clean and tidy. It is said that people with a clean bedroom often feel less stressed and have a better night’s sleep.

So, here are five key chores that you should follow:
1. Change Your Bed Often
Nobody likes changing their bed, but you’ve got to admit that when you get into a clean bed, it always feels so much nicer. You should change your bed every week to ensure that the dry skin cells, that can cause allergies, are washed away, as well as sweat and anything else. It will also prevent bed bugs. If you’re someone that chooses to leave it two or even three weeks, then invest in a top sheet to help keep your bed cleaner a little longer.
Not sure what a top sheet is? This Happy Beds blog explains everything!
2. Hang Up Clothes
Everyone at some point has tried on an outfit, decided they didn’t like it and then either left it on their bed or threw it over ‘that chair’ – yes, you know the one. Make sure that you hang up your clothes back where they came from that it doesn’t all pile up on you. Hanging up one thing is certainly better than hanging up eight things!
3. Hidden Storage
If you’re living in a shared house where your only storage place is your bedroom, then it might be time to create some new storage hacks. Some include using the space on top of their wardrobe, investing in boxes that slot inside cupboards and investing in a storage bed, that can store all of your junk or clothes under the bed without anyone knowing otherwise.
4. Take Your Dishes Down
We’ve all been there, had a glass of squash in the bedroom and then forgotten to take the cup down the next day. Oh, and then the same thing happens the next, and then the next, and before you know it there are no glasses left in your kitchen cupboard. Make sure you take your glasses down each time you’re done with the.
Tip: leave them by the stairs so that you don’t forget them the next day.
5. Throw Things Out Regularly
Don’t be a hoarder, throw things out that you don’t use, forgot you had or don’t need. If you need a bit of guidance on this and how to know what you should be throwing out, then watch Marie Kondo on Netflix who supplies plenty of tips on decluttering.

I’ve got the hidden storage under my bed and there’s nothing like the smell of a freshly washed duvet is there? The fact that we’re all stuck in isn’t necessarily a bad thing – plenty to get on with and some nice ideas – thanks! x
I have discovery MANRAGs is recycling threads so will use this shut in time to empty some cupboards….upside to everything, right? We have under the bed storage – best idea ever! #KCACOLS
Great tips that we all need to follow#kcacols@_karendennis
I need to be better about hanging up my clothes.
Just by putting my clothes away my room looks so much better lol.
Thanks for the post!

Great tips. I agree, there is nothing better than getting into a clean crisp bed. #KCACOLS
I definitely feel so much more relaxed with a clean bedroom, and there is nothing better than clean sheets! I am terrible for throwing clothes in a heap in the corner, but I try my best to keep on top of it 🙂 #KCACOLS
Great tips. I love the feeling of clean sheets, we change our bedding every Sunday! #KCACOLS
We recently redid our bedroom with a new colour scheme. We got new curtains, new bedding and even a gorgeous new canvas for the wall. Since doing all of that we’ve been more inclined to keep it nice and clean and tidy. My hubby even makes the bed!! It’s amazing how something small can really change your perspective of things #KCACOLS
WE adhere to all of these!! #KCACOLS
I always feel better when our bedroom is clean. Seems to be filled with kids books and teddies every bedtime at the moment! I need to go through and have a clearout. #KCACOLS
I struggle so hard to keep our bedroom tidy – it’s very embarrassing!! I always feel like such a hypocrite when I moan at the kids about their untidy bedrooms! Great tips, thank you! #KCACOLS
that storage bed looks amazing. I’d imagine that would make my closet a heck of a lot more organized #KCACOLS
These are some important tips to use in your home life. I like how your bed lifts up and you have all of that extra storage. Yes, washing sheets weekly is quite important, and it feels so great when you get into a bed with warm clean linen.

Great tips. I don’t allow any clothes in my room unless they’re hung up (meaning hubby has to hang them up or put them in the wash). I hate changing the bed but I do it every 10 days or so. My Ottoman has plenty of storage and I like everything out of sight. The only dishes I allow in my room is a bottle of water or a cup of tea x #KCACOLS
I must admit that the only one of these points that I follow very well is to never leave dirty dishes in the bedroom (to be fair I rarely take food in their in the first place). On the other four points listed, I could definitely do better, so thanks for this reminder x #KCACOLS
I can’t bear empty cups & plates in the bedroom – I always clear them up immediately as I can’t leave them lying around! #KCACOLS
