A Fresh Start: Clearing Clutter and Creating Space in Your Bedroom for the New Year

Happy 2025 to all our Andover neighbours! As we bid adieu to the old year and welcome a fresh new start, there's nothing quite like having an organised home to set the tone for the months ahead.

At International Furniture in Hampshire, we're not just here to help you find the perfect furniture for your home; we're here to assist you in crafting a living and sleeping space that serves as a sanctuary of comfort and style (and did we mention they’re all a great price!).

Today, let's tackle one of the most common resolutions: de-cluttering and organising our bedrooms to make the most out of our precious space. Whether you're dealing with overflowing wardrobes, scattered toys, or misplaced shoes, we have some expert tips and tricks to see you through.

Get Started: Making Room for the New Year

Sort and Simplify:
Begin by going through your clothes, toys, and shoes. Ask yourself when was the last time you used it. If it's been more than six months, perhaps it's time to donate or sell it. You’ll be surprised at how liberating a simple declutter can feel! There are lots of places you can sell online, e.g. Vinted, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, etc

Categorise and Conquer:
Once you've whittled down your belongings, categorise them. Keep daily essentials where they're easily accessible and tuck away those precious occasional-use items. 

Clever Bedroom Furniture Storage to Save Space

Here are some brilliant bedroom storage ideas to maximise your space without compromising on style:

Storage Bed Frames: A storage bed frame is a fantastic investment with drawers or compartments that offer ample space to store extra bedding, off-season clothing, or those memory-filled keepsakes. Andover locals love how these frames combine practicality with elegance.

Underbed Storage Compartments: If your bed frame doesn’t have built-in storage, don’t fret! Underbed storage boxes or bins can be a lifesaver. They're perfect for keeping items out of sight but still well within reach.

Ottomans: Versatile ottomans not only serve as an extra seat or footrest but can also be a hidden compartment for blankets, shoes, or toys. Pop them in the kids' room or your bedroom for quick and easy organisation. 

Personal Touches Make a House a Home

Remember, tidying up does not mean stripping away the soul of your home. Personal touches like cherished mementos or your child’s favourite toys should always have a place. Our aim is to achieve a balanced harmony where both style and sentiment are shared.

At International Furniture in Andover, we're proud to offer a wide range of high-quality storage solutions to fit your needs and lifestyle, ensuring fast local delivery and unparalleled customer service. 

Together, let’s create homes that reflect the heart of our Andover community - a place where you can truly feel at home.
