Good Items to Buy for Organizing a Messy Room

Baskets, Bins and Containers

• Baskets, bins and all types of containers can help you stay organized. These storage tools create a place for items to go. You can store extra clothes and other items in bins, and place these under the bed or in the closet. Baskets look nice on desks, shelves and dressers, but you can put these on the closet shelves also. Fill baskets with items you might use often, such as hair accessories, pads and pencils or scarves. You can create basket shelves by using hooks to hang baskets on the walls. The baskets fit securely on the hooks and look like basket shelves. Fill containers or jars with buttons and other items that you may not need as often, and place these on shelves or up on a closet shelf. Placing a large, tall basket in the corner of your room will allow you to fill it with dirty laundry to prevent clothes from collecting dust and mold on the floor.

Shoe and Clothing Racks

• Hang up three clothing hooks near your bedroom or on the back of the door. This rack can hold robes or clothing for the next day. Plastic shoe racks with pockets can also go on the back of your closet. You can find metal shoe racks that sit on the floor to place on your closet floor. Shoes can also go in boxes or can be arranged neatly on the closet floor.

Drawer Organizers

• Drawer organizer dividers can help you keep your clothing organized within your dresser. Use these to separate different types of shirts, pants, intimate garments, socks and other items. You can also use these organizers to separate hair ties, jewelry and other items that you would rather keep hidden away in your drawers. Some of the drawer organizers have three large compartments while others have several small box-shaped compartments for organizing small items.

Bulletin Boards

• Bulletin boards in your bedroom can help keep clutter off your dressers. Place extra pictures, reminder notes and other decorations on your bulletin board. You may want to hang a bulletin board near your door or above your desk if you have a desk in your bedroom. Decorate the border of the bulletin board to fit with the decor style in your room. You can find decorative bulletin boards or glue your own embellishments on the border, such as silk flower heads, ribbons and other items.
