Mastering the Art of Organization: Tips and Tricks by Marie Kondo
There are a few basic principles behind the Marie Kondo Folding Method. Try storing your clothes vertically. When we fold our clothes and stack them in a pile, it can be very difficult to get to an item at the bottom of the pile. By folding and storing clothing vertically, it will stay more organized. Consequently, it is easier to retrieve the item you want to wear. As a bonus, items folded like this also have fewer wrinkles! Basically you want to start by folding the item into some sort of rectangle. Fold in any straps or places where the item is irregular. Once you have it in a rectangular shape, you are then going to fold it into thirds. Fold one end in, and then the other. Watch the video above to see how common items are folded and you will get the idea.

Benefits of Using Baskets for Bedroom Organization:
Containment: Baskets provide a designated space for storing items, allowing you to group similar things together.
Easy Access: Baskets make it convenient to access your belongings. You can simply reach into the basket and retrieve what you need without rummaging through piles or digging into drawers.
Versatility: They can be used for storing clothes, accessories, books, electronics, blankets, and more. With the right basket, you can customize storage solutions to fit your specific needs.
Portability: Baskets are portable and allow you to carry items easily from one area to another.
Aesthetics: Baskets can add a decorative touch to your bedroom while keeping things organized.
Why you should not use baskets in the bedroom
- Visibility: While baskets can help contain items, they can also limit visibility. If you need to quickly locate an item a more open and visible solution, may be more suitable.
- Size and Space: Oversized baskets may take up too much space and end up filling up with stuff you never use. On the other hand, small baskets may not hold enough items and end up taking up valuable space in your closet.
- Baskets can become a dumping ground for miscellaneous items that you never use. Establish a system to categorize items within each basket and regularly review and declutter them to maintain organization.
- Over-Reliance: It’s important to assess whether you genuinely need the items you’re storing in the baskets or if some can be discarded or donated.

Why it is important to declutter the whole bedroom while you are organizing your closet.
Decluttering the entire bedroom, including the closet, is important for several reasons when organizing your living space.
Efficiency: By removing excess items and creating a sense of order, you can efficiently organize your closet. I find I could easily access my belongings, find what I need, and make decisions about what to keep and what to discard.
Visual Appeal: A cluttered bedroom can create visual chaos and make it difficult to focus on organizing a specific area like the closet. When I tidy up the entire space first I can create a more visually appealing environment that makes me feel calm and relaxed.
Space Optimization: Decluttering the entire bedroom helps you evaluate the available space and make better use of it. Sometimes, I find items that belong in the closet don’t even belong there.
Decision-Making: When decluttering the entire bedroom, you will notice it forces you to make decisions about each item and evaluate its usefulness. This process helps me develop a mindset toward my possessions and makes it easier to decide what should stay in the closet and what should be removed.
Maintenance and Longevity: Organizing your closet is not a one-time task but an ongoing process. When everything has its place, it becomes easier to keep the bedroom and closet tidy over time. The decluttering process also encourages you to be mindful of new items that enter the bedroom.
Cleaning up the bedroom and closet truly brings me happiness. Write to me and let me know if it bought you joy when you have finished the task.
