The teen bedroom is a place to sleep, play and work, so plan
for adequate study space and play space when organizing it. And keep in mind
that visual organization is just as important as clutter control, so make sure
the room has a sense of continuity.
Here's a breakdown of the components that need to be
addressed when organizing and suggestions for tackling the job:
Closet: Take the door off the closet to open the space
and provide incentive to place items on hangers instead of throwing them on the
closet floor.
Desk: Use a desk with adequate drawer space. Drawers
keep items organized that tend to clutter the desk
Shelving: Install wall-mounted adjustable shelves that
will grow as the needs of your teenager change.
Containers: Label all containers, not the shelf where
items are stored. That way if containers move, the items are still put in the
right one.
Memos, etc.: Hang pegboards or memo boards to provide
contained spaces for notes, photos and calendars. No more looking for that
invitation or phone number-it's right there on the wall.
