Simplify Your Nightstand

The bedroom is a place for rest and relaxation, yet it tends to easily fall into disorganization, providing the opposite effect of relaxation.

The nightstand tends to be one area that easily accumulates clutter. A simple way that I keep the clutter at bay is to display only a few significant items:

  • Alarm Clock/Media Player
  • Lamp
  • Cell phone and holder
  • Flowers in a vase
  • A photo of my significant other

I find that by limiting the amount of items that I put on top of my nightstand, the less likely it is to get cluttered. Simplicity tends to attract simplicity while clutter often attracts more clutter.
