After all, these rooms are our sanctuaries.
A less cluttered space may even lead to a better nights sleep.
Here are a dozen items likely found in your bedroom to do away with ASAP.

Anything Under the Bed
Do you store things under your bed?
Has it become a black hole of miscellany youve forgotten about?
Commit yourself to tackling this area the next day it rains.
A closet with a variety of hanger types never looks aesthetically pleasing.
These hangers can also ruin your clothing if used long-term.
So get rid of your collection and replace them with slim, non-slip velvet hangers instead.
Dry-Cleaning Garment Bags
Along the same lines, toss those dryer cleaner bags your clothing came in.
Furthermore, they make it much harder to find what youre looking for.
Do whatever you better do to edit your closet.
If this sounds like too daunting a task, dont fret.
All you’re gonna wanna do is break it down.
Do tops one day and bottoms the next.
Give yourself a week to complete this task.
Shoes in Disrepair
Like clothing, shoes have a finite life.
But unlike clothing, old shoes can cause significant problems.
Old sneakers may no longer be supportive enough for walking or other exercise.
Shoes with worn-out soles and heels can cause you to slip and hurt yourself.
Shoes that perhaps were never comfortable in the first place (why did you buy those six-inch stilettos?)
also need to go.
Old Bedding
Even thehighest quality beddingdoesnt last forever.
You also may be able to donate bed sheets or towels to a local animal shelter.
Fortunately, these spaces tend to be small so its a quick task to tackle.
Get rid of what you won’t or can’t use.
Excess Storage Containers
Often, we usestorage containersto organize all of our stuff.
Instead of having bins and zipped-up bags sitting around, toss them, too.
Keep those in another closet that you don’t need to go into every day.
How long has thatlip-plumping lipstickwith so little left been sitting in that drawer?
How about the dried-up makeup cleansing wipes?
You’ll feel better for it.
Old Socks
We all haveold sockswith holes in them.
At one point or another, socks get worn down so much that they’re too beat-up to wear.
Or your dryer eats one of the two, and you’re missing the complete pair.
Toss the raggedy and solo socksor use them as cleaning rags instead.
