9 IKEA Bedroom Storage Ideas to Clear the Clutter

For some time now, home trends have been rallying against the presence of clutter. As far as the minimalist look is concerned, things should not be hoarded. And stuff, in the mindset of Marie Kondo, should only exist to spark joy. For some, this shift toward fewer possessions has come easy—in fact, thrift stores reported an uptick in donations earlier this year. But for others, it may be harder to let go of things, even if that's the latest "it" activity to do.

If you're finding it hard to get organized despite this pop culture push, then maybe it's worth noting how clutter can have a negative effect on mental health. This can potentially make it difficult to sleep, concentrate on work, or strengthen relationships. In other words, for those who have yet to get on the decluttering trend, maybe it would be easier to do it if you focused on its personal benefits.

We found 10 IKEA bedroom storage options to help you declutter and organize this space, which should ideally feel like a sanctuary. By using these items to streamline your possessions and keep your bedroom clean, you'll hopefully be able to adapt this trend to your terms—and feel better in the process. Another thing that should motivate you to get started? The grand total for everything here comes out to less than $100.
