Declutter Your Room

Living with other people, even if that person is your spouse, can be tricky. You have to accommodate all of their things, and it can sometimes feel like you don't have enough room. Here are ways to create that room, and to create a space designed exactly how you want it.

1) Under the Bed Storage

Creating more room in a small space is always essential. Bed risers are a great way to add more storage room. You can add colorful bins and create a new look, or you can purchase a bed skirt to hide your storage. You can find bed risers at Target, IKEA, and even Walmart for an affordable price. You can even find bed risers with plugs so you can charge your phone and laptop.


2) Bathroom Hacks
When you have to share a room, it sometimes means sharing a bathroom. To avoid overstepping, you can create a magnetic wall for all of your beauty supplies. Magnetic strips are easy to find in any hardware store, and are easily attached with glue to your wall. You can create one for your makeup as well by attaching a little magnetic strip to the back of your makeup cases. It's easy, fun, and creative.

3) Double Your Closet Space

Soda can tabs are great to create extra hanging space. Loop the soda can tab onto the hanger's hook and you will be able to easily attach another hanger from the empty hole of the tab. Use shower curtain rings to hang scarves and put those old shoe boxes to good use by creating draw organizers for your tank tops.


4) Add Multipurpose Furniture

Most bedrooms only allow so much room: you can fit a bed and a desk, but not much else. If you add a floor ottoman, you can create storage and seating for guests without taking up too much space. You can find great options in many department stores that will fit your style.



Now that you have your room organized, it's time to decorate! Check the rules in the places that you live before you put any holes in the walls, or make any drastic changes to the space. Then, create a living area that will make you feel right at home!
