Organized Spaces at Home – A True Master Suite

Do you ever think about how your bedroom space affects your productivity each day?

Sometimes, a master suite ends up being the last space that gets organized in a home; after all, it’s just our bedroom right? It’s common for busy moms to put their needs at the bottom of the list of things to do. Why would your bedroom need to be a priority?

My advice moms is to move that bedroom up to the top of the list of things to do… you might be surprised to see how an organized bedroom will affect what you get done each day. A master bedroom should be a quite sanctuary that allows you to escape from the stressors of our day to day demands. It should be relaxing, calm and personal.

When your space is filled with piles of papers or includes a workspace, it’s virtually impossible to be able to get relaxed knowing all that “stuff” is right there next to you. You constantly feel the need to do “something else” rather than sleeping. Things like work or exercise equipment are the last things that should fill your bedroom space. Now, I completely understand the need to maximize space when you have a limited amount of space; however, I think the point I am trying to make, is that we need to examine how we are using the space and if it’s really being effective. Here are a few things to consider when establishing a master suite:

1. Clothing belongs in a closet or drawer. Period. If it doesn’t fit in its proper place, it’s time to evaluate how much you have.

2. A bedroom space should make you feel beautiful and relaxed. Showcasing things that make you happy in your bedroom is important, versus having to look at piles of paperwork.

3. A bedroom space is private and personal, not a community space or common room.

4. If you have to find a space on your bed, it’s time to think about how you are using the space.

Taking the time to establish a calm and relaxing bedroom is worth it – trust me! You will find yourself feeling more relaxed and able to get a better night sleep, so that each day you can feel refreshed and ready to go.

If you could change one thing in your master bedroom, what would it be?
