Give your nightstand a clean sweep.
End the day with a calming bedside view. Empty the drawer and put back only what you use nightly or weekly (e.g., hand cream, an eye mask). Cull finished mags — give them to a local library or senior center — and implement a six-book rule: no more on display!

Clean off your chair.
Don't let a pretty seat become a laundry drop zone. Either leave washed items in the dryer until you have time to fold them or tuck them in a lidded basket by your dresser.

Declutter the top of your dresser.
Embrace your habits when it comes to this dumping ground. Empty your pockets? Add a cup for coins and a wastebasket for tissues and receipts. Read the mail? A letter sorter will keep bills up front. Try on jewelry? Use a clear bowl to prevent chunky pieces from piling up.

Hang up bags.
Stop dropping your tote on your bed or (worse) the floor. Hooks on the inside of your closet door will offer space for your entire collection. Plus, it makes picking out a purse that matches your outfit so much easier.

Spiff up your lingerie drawer.
Get rid of frayed underwear, stretched-out items (even if you love the color), and anything uncomfortable. Use thin cardboard to sort what's left: Hot-glue strips together to create cubbies, as above, or insert cut-down tissue boxes as sock and undies compartments.

And corral your bangles.
Bracelets often are often overlooked (they don't tangle and you're less likely to lose them like earrings). But we love how this versatile holder helps them stand so you don't forget to stack 'em on your wrist when you get ready in the morning.

Stash unsightly chargers.
Make your phone charger look like it's just part of your bedtime reading routine by creating a cubby in a patterned notebook (once you've used up all the pages). It'll make your nightstand look neat and pretty.

Ditch anything work-related.
Not only do prime offenders like your laptop, tablet, and paperwork clutter up your space and collect hard-to-remove dust, they can also be distracting. Relocate them to another spot in the house for more space — and peace-of-mind.
