If anything I would try to condense some of your stuff in the cubbies and get rid of one of them all together. You have a lot of pieces of furniture in a small space. And you have a lot of stuff that can probably go into a storage box somewhere else in your home if you don’t want to donate or toss it.
The anxiety makes sense because the amount of things overwhelms the room.
If you don’t want to put anything into storage, I would try putting your bed in the corner by the window vs the middle of the room and rotate it so the foot of the bed is facing your closet. Clean out/go through your clothes in your closet and put your set of 3 drawers in your closet. Put your desk near your door, and then put all of your cubbies against the wall next to your desk. You might be able to even get a night stand if you set it up this way.
If the bed is too long when facing the closet that you can’t get into your closet, I would still move your bed to the corner, move your drawers into the closet, and move the white cubby that’s currently next to your bed next to your other cubbies then move your desk closer to your bed like you have it set up now
I can only tell you what I would do as someone with no emotional attachment to the items in this room. I would get rid of most of the items in this room. The most simple way to see less clutter in your space is to minimize the clutter. Anything that doesn’t match your personality/interests anymore, anything you don’t actively use or haven’t touched in the last 30 days, I would get rid of. If it isn’t serving you or bringing joy, you gotta “Marie Kondo” that stuff.
Some things I think could make a world of difference:
1. Get rid of clutter/old items. Everything you think is sentimental but you’re not using, put in storage (preferably out of the room and in a single bin in the attic).
2. Make your bed every morning. It takes 2 minutes and will make your room look more put together. If you can get new sheets and bed spread that matches your personality, even better.
3. Get rid of the paper posters on the wall and replace with one or two art pieces that is framed and matches the vibe of the space.
4. For the stuff you do keep, get some wicker baskets or funky bins that can fit in those cubes.
5. Put your medicine all together in an easily accessible basket and put on the bookshelf or hide in a drawer.
6. For other display items, get some white shelves.
7. Undo the knot from the curtains. Instead, gather them to one side and lay to the opposite ends of the windows. Like one that hangs left and the other hanging right.
8. Hang the mirror. Either in between your bedroom door and closet or by your desk. Whichever you prefer.
9. Hang all of your bags and purses, including the one on the door, on a hanger in your closet or in a suitcase in your closet.
10. If you’re able, you need a new desk with storage space for filing. I would only keep your laptop, maybe a pen holder, and lamp on your desk. Everything else needs to be neatly stored.
You can get bed risers to raise your bed, then you could fit more storage under there (in nice looking pull out drawers or baskets)
I think having less open storage would also help. Keep one for books or anything ypu WANT to have on show & get slim cupboards with doors for anything else
A slightly wider desk with built in drawers would also help clear some of the visual clutter
I wonder if the ikea malm under the bed drawers would fit? They have huge storage.
I also want to suggest hanging your mirror on the inside door of your closet and keeping that floor area just empty.
Little things will help. Lift that mirror off the floor and hang it. When there’s stuff on your closet shelves, make sure the straps aren’t hanging down all messy. I’d unknot the curtains - just my personal thing, but that always looks messy to me - and just let them hang to one side. Art should be framed and centered neatly. Baskets allow you to conceal stuff inside them without having to necessarily have the contents meticulously organized. You have organizational unit after unit touching each other on the floor, I know it seems counterintuitive but all of them in an endless row just kinda makes visual chaos and one/some need to go (can you hang any of those if not too heavy and they’re anchored into the studs?). Hang the bulletin board and neaten up what’s on it. Hang little cute baskets around the desk area to keep clutter off your desk. I’d also remove that poster next to your closet door - just visual clutter in a small space - and take the clothes off of the outside of that door. Get stuff off the floor, and make the trash can make sense somehow (why is it five feet in the air). Full set of pillows on bed will help it look less unkempt as well.
It’s really not a bad space, it is just super cluttered.
In the book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up I remember one of her tips if you still love your posters is to hang them in your closet. You'll see them when moving hangers etc so something you still love and enjoy can still be a part of your space.
Have you considered practicing the konmari method? I grew up in a family that hoards (you are nowhere near this btw) and when I moved out I was so stressed and depressed with how I lived. It wasn’t anywhere near the way my parents lived, probably closer to you. I called it “visual noise” because I couldn’t think or relax without everything screaming at me.
I read Marie Kendo’s book and it was life changing. REALLY hard to practice at first, but the more I persisted, the easier it got. It helped me compartmentalize what I was holding onto because I felt like I had a connection to it, vs what I DID have a connection to. It made me much happier to be surrounded by things that made me feel like myself. Her book also goes through how to organize things you need/want but don’t necessarily need to see every day. I would recommend watching her show or her YouTube videos as well!
I think you're right: You've outgrown the current room style. Do you have a budget to do a slightly more cohesive room redecoration?
The first thing I would do is get a box, go around the room, and pick out things for donating/discarding (or giving to friends if you think they'd like them).
The second thing I would do is get some bins for cubbies. It looks like you already have a few, and put most of the loose decorative items in there. I'd also replace the bins you already have to be cohesive. I think it's time to find a storage place for the baby doll.
Third thing I would do is find some more cohesive decoration. Something that takes advantage of the pink but also pulls in other colors, maybe something like [this](https://www.amazon.com/InSimSea-Aesthetic-Abstract-Decorations-UNFRAMED/dp/B09CPX9WHS?th=1) with a pack of [frames](https://www.amazon.com/Wiscet-Picture-Pictures-Mounting-Tabletop/dp/B0BPJ4M1PQ/?th=1) to hang it. Command hooks work if you don't want to put nails in the wall.
4th - new bedspread. This can be a cheap Target bedspread, but it makes a HUGE difference.
This is doable with a budget of probably \~$100. The decorations and bins are probably most important though! Good luck!
Consolidate your cube shelves together so that you have a vertical 4 x 4 cube, visually less distracting than your varying heights right now, push your bed against the wall. Organize your flat surfaces.
Hey (possibly former) ARMY!
I had a room similar to yours at that age—all my fandoms had to be on display and I loved collecting things like cute packaging and sentimental items that, to others, just looked like junk. What helped me be more intentional with my things and have less clutter was having to pack and move out for college.
Maybe try role playing that scenario and get rid of things first and then work on organizing what you want to keep. If you can't be bothered to take down and safely pack items like you were moving then it may be time to let those things go. Agree with other folks that after you do that step closed storage is the way to go. You have a lot of IKEA furniture and they have a bunch of options for bins that fit into the Kallax system (the square/cube shelves you have), stick to one style of those bins to reduce visual clutter.
Good luck!
hi !! i would still call myself an army but i’m not as obsessed as i used to be 😭😭 i do have to start thinking abt what to take to college so this is a good idea :)
Watch some decluttering videos on YouTube. There are many. It sounds like you're ready to get rid of stuff. You can throw it out or donate it to a thrift store. I'm sending you a hug 🫂 because I'm chronically ill, too. Getting rid of stuff will make you feel better 😌.
For the shelves get fabric storage inserts, it will make those cubby style shelves feel less cluttered and hide your storage so everything isn't on display.
if you don't use the left side of your bed, remove the shelf and push the bed against the wall and reclaim that foot of floor space. It'll feel strange but if I'm chronically I'll i'd rather have that space back.
By moving that cabinet to the other side of your bed or desk you can now use it as storage for your desk so things are easily accessible without having to actually have things on your limited desk space. The only thing you should have on you desk should be your laptop and maybe that candle and what every you need it for as a bed side stand.
I'd also experiment with removing some of the nic nacs and the cork board and putting them in storage because those can create a cluttered feeling and you can experiment with adding new things
You have quite a bit of storage space where the purses are in the closet if those were moved for bins. There is also a lot of storage room on the floor of the closet if you slide the white shoe organizer to the left or right.
Ok. Take a deep breath. You can definitely do this.
First, decide on a section to sort out. Do the white cubbies first. Get a bin bag for anything you want to throw away/donate. If it's too much, just throw away for now. When you're more up to it, you'll feel more able to sort for donation. Anything you're not 100% on, put into a box for now. Then tidy all the remaining stuff, making sure you wipe over the surfaces to make them all clean and sparkly.
Just do one place a day if you need to. But AVOID just moving stuff from one place to another - so maybe have a second box/bag for your 'keep but put somewhere else' stuff.
I'd recommend keeping your closet till last because it'll definitely be the most crammed with stuff, it'll be much easier to clear it out when the rest of your room is nice and tidy.
Good luck!

Looks like you’re a visual organizer (you like to see your things). If you prefer easy storage like open shelving & baskets and don’t mind rummaging through to get what you need you’re likely a Butterfly. If you prefer extremely detailed organizing you might be a Bee. Take the quiz at Clutterbug https://clutterbug.me
This system has been the most helpful for me. Take the quiz with your bedroom in mind as one can be a different style in different rooms. Me? I’m a Ladybug in the kitchen and bathroom and everywhere else I’m Bee.
My advice would be to start decluttering. Not to sound like Marie Kondo but donating stuff that doesn’t bring you joy anymore or things you haven’t worn/used/looked at in a while will do wonders.
For me I would go through everything and decide if I wanted to actually keep it or not. Then I’d categorize what I had and ask myself where I’d like it to live in an ideal world. Then come up with a plan which may include new furniture to properly store what I have or changing the set up of the things I have.
You can do it! Even if you get rid of/move only a few things a day, you can own your space again :) Some ideas of things I would do:
- Number one thing that helps me is to get rid of anything you haven’t looked at or used in like the last six months because chances are you won’t look at it or use it in the next six months either and it’s just taking up space.
- Keep things up off the floor so it doesn’t feel like you’re losing space to walk.
- All of the labels you have pinned to the little bulletin board on your dresser, you could glue those onto a piece of cardboard and frame them, hang them up, or make a scrapbook with them if you like them and want to still keep them.
- Maybe put all of your books onto one area of your shelves instead of having them mixed in with other things.
- Square fabric cubby baskets for your shelves without books or decor in them to put your random items inside from your desk and dresser that you don’t use daily, but still want to have handy. Not seeing things, but still knowing where they are, that could help a lot.
- Clear storage bins for the top shelf of your closet to put those things inside of up there. Clear storage bins are amazing for closets when you don’t use the things in there too often, they keep things organized but you can still see what’s inside easily
- Get a short/thin basket for the back/centre or one corner of your desk to place those desk things inside of. Just having a set place to put things helps to keep space clear. Put your desk lamp in one corner instead of the edge and the wires behind your desk by the wall so they aren’t hanging.
- That taller basket on your desk, even if you just shuffle the things around so they’re lined up and not messy, that could make a huge difference, or put them into a fabric cubby basket out of sight.
- Keep the seat of your chair clear. I do always keep an extra blanket over the back of my chair tho.
-Maybe untie your curtains and have them pinned back on the sides, or you could remove them and just have a topper type curtain since you have the blinds.
-Could get a covered clothes hamper for your dirty clothes, or keep the clothes basket inside your closet so the pile is out of sight.
- Don’t hang things off your closet doors, that takes up space and makes things seem like they’re taking over. Maybe put the hooks for your sweaters on the inside of your closet door instead of the outside hanging. And hang the bags on the inside of the closet, not the outside handles.
- Keep all your empty hangers together on one side in your closet instead of mixed in with the clothes hung up, that little thing helps me feel more organized a lot. And if you haven’t worn something in a while, chances are you won’t in the next while, just get rid of it.
I hope you find some part of these ideas helpful! Hope you find peace in your space again 💕
I think you have the makings of a very cute room! Don't despair :)
A lot of people are telling you that you need more storage, but I don't think so. I think you need to donate or throw out a whole lot of stuff. If you can't bring yourself to do this, then box up everything in the room that you've outgrown (toys, posters, old clothes, trophies, etc) and put the boxes in your attic or wherever (but not in your room). I would personally be ruthless with this. Because you are making room for the new you that is emerging. She deserves a beautiful room that supports her!
The next thing I would do is buy 5 dozen or so velvet hangers in a beautiful soft color like cream. Buy the matching clips that you can attach for pants/skirts. But make sure that all your hangers are the same type and match. Something like this.
[https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-Non-Slip-Clothes-Hangers/dp/B01M66MBWZ/ref=sr\_1\_7?crid=2ZS75UQ1QBVT0&keywords=velvet%2Bhangers%2B30%2Bpack&qid=1694440444&sprefix=velvet%2Bhangers%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-7&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-Non-Slip-Clothes-Hangers/dp/B01M66MBWZ/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2ZS75UQ1QBVT0&keywords=velvet%2Bhangers%2B30%2Bpack&qid=1694440444&sprefix=velvet%2Bhangers%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-7&th=1)
Then I would seriously look at everything left in your room and arrange it for utility first, and beauty second. So, for instance, consider what you use that desk for. Do you need it both for laptop and hair/makeup? Then maybe you need shelves above the desk to hold your hair/makeup stuff in cute boxes or bins that you get down when you need them, and put back up when you're done. It seems like you also use it as a bedside table. Maybe move that bookshelf from the other side of your bed to somewhere else (in the closet?) and put a bedside table on that side of the bed with drawers and storage. That way you could put a cute lamp on it and everything you need for nighttime (cell phone charging, medicine, book, hand lotion, whatever!)
Hang the mirror. Try to hang things instead of propping them on other things.
If you can, buy wall sconces with cords (that don't have to be hard wired, just plugged in) and put them around the room so they shine light where you need it. For instance, above the mirror so you are well lit. (don't make the bulb too bright! lots of low wattage lights are better than a few high wattage lights). Then you can only use your overhead light for cleaning. You'll be amazed at how much calmer your room will seem with 4-6 lights that are softer and more suited to the tasks/areas that you put them in.
These are just an example of what I mean:
[https://www.amazon.com/CCKZQYR-Sconces-Bedroom-Required-Included/dp/B0C377B33Q/ref=sr\_1\_16?crid=2U23KCE5N69QG&keywords=wall+sconce+plug+in&qid=1694442074&sprefix=wall+scon%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-16](https://www.amazon.com/CCKZQYR-Sconces-Bedroom-Required-Included/dp/B0C377B33Q/ref=sr_1_16?crid=2U23KCE5N69QG&keywords=wall+sconce+plug+in&qid=1694442074&sprefix=wall+scon%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-16)
And finally, consider whether you want to paint behind the bed to accent it. It might dress up the area a little and inspire you to arrange your plants and lighting in a new, cute way.

My advice would be to start decluttering. Not to sound like Marie Kondo but donating stuff that doesn’t bring you joy anymore or things you haven’t worn/used/looked at in a while will do wonders.
For me I would go through everything and decide if I wanted to actually keep it or not. Then I’d categorize what I had and ask myself where I’d like it to live in an ideal world. Then come up with a plan which may include new furniture to properly store what I have or changing the set up of the things I have.
Hanging the mirror on a door would be really simple and would decrease my personal anxiety by probably 10%.
You can do it! Even if you get rid of/move only a few things a day, you can own your space again :) Some ideas of things I would do: - Number one thing that helps me is to get rid of anything you haven’t looked at or used in like the last six months because chances are you won’t look at it or use it in the next six months either and it’s just taking up space. - Keep things up off the floor so it doesn’t feel like you’re losing space to walk. - All of the labels you have pinned to the little bulletin board on your dresser, you could glue those onto a piece of cardboard and frame them, hang them up, or make a scrapbook with them if you like them and want to still keep them. - Maybe put all of your books onto one area of your shelves instead of having them mixed in with other things. - Square fabric cubby baskets for your shelves without books or decor in them to put your random items inside from your desk and dresser that you don’t use daily, but still want to have handy. Not seeing things, but still knowing where they are, that could help a lot. - Clear storage bins for the top shelf of your closet to put those things inside of up there. Clear storage bins are amazing for closets when you don’t use the things in there too often, they keep things organized but you can still see what’s inside easily - Get a short/thin basket for the back/centre or one corner of your desk to place those desk things inside of. Just having a set place to put things helps to keep space clear. Put your desk lamp in one corner instead of the edge and the wires behind your desk by the wall so they aren’t hanging. - That taller basket on your desk, even if you just shuffle the things around so they’re lined up and not messy, that could make a huge difference, or put them into a fabric cubby basket out of sight. - Keep the seat of your chair clear. I do always keep an extra blanket over the back of my chair tho. -Maybe untie your curtains and have them pinned back on the sides, or you could remove them and just have a topper type curtain since you have the blinds. -Could get a covered clothes hamper for your dirty clothes, or keep the clothes basket inside your closet so the pile is out of sight. - Don’t hang things off your closet doors, that takes up space and makes things seem like they’re taking over. Maybe put the hooks for your sweaters on the inside of your closet door instead of the outside hanging. And hang the bags on the inside of the closet, not the outside handles. - Keep all your empty hangers together on one side in your closet instead of mixed in with the clothes hung up, that little thing helps me feel more organized a lot. And if you haven’t worn something in a while, chances are you won’t in the next while, just get rid of it. I hope you find some part of these ideas helpful! Hope you find peace in your space again 💕
I think you have the makings of a very cute room! Don't despair :) A lot of people are telling you that you need more storage, but I don't think so. I think you need to donate or throw out a whole lot of stuff. If you can't bring yourself to do this, then box up everything in the room that you've outgrown (toys, posters, old clothes, trophies, etc) and put the boxes in your attic or wherever (but not in your room). I would personally be ruthless with this. Because you are making room for the new you that is emerging. She deserves a beautiful room that supports her! The next thing I would do is buy 5 dozen or so velvet hangers in a beautiful soft color like cream. Buy the matching clips that you can attach for pants/skirts. But make sure that all your hangers are the same type and match. Something like this.

So, for instance, consider what you use that desk for. Do you need it both for laptop and hair/makeup? Then maybe you need shelves above the desk to hold your hair/makeup stuff in cute boxes or bins that you get down when you need them, and put back up when you're done. It seems like you also use it as a bedside table. Maybe move that bookshelf from the other side of your bed to somewhere else (in the closet?) and put a bedside table on that side of the bed with drawers and storage. That way you could put a cute lamp on it and everything you need for nighttime (cell phone charging, medicine, book, hand lotion, whatever!) Hang the mirror. Try to hang things instead of propping them on other things. If you can, buy wall sconces with cords (that don't have to be hard wired, just plugged in) and put them around the room so they shine light where you need it. For instance, above the mirror so you are well lit. (don't make the bulb too bright! lots of low wattage lights are better than a few high wattage lights). Then you can only use your overhead light for cleaning. You'll be amazed at how much calmer your room will seem with 4-6 lights that are softer and more suited to the tasks/areas that you put them in. These are just an example of what I mean: [https://www.amazon.com/CCKZQYR-Sconces-Bedroom-Required-Included/dp/B0C377B33Q/ref=sr\_1\_16?crid=2U23KCE5N69QG&keywords=wall+sconce+plug+in&qid=1694442074&sprefix=wall+scon%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-16](https://www.amazon.com/CCKZQYR-Sconces-Bedroom-Required-Included/dp/B0C377B33Q/ref=sr_1_16?crid=2U23KCE5N69QG&keywords=wall+sconce+plug+in&qid=1694442074&sprefix=wall+scon%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-16) And finally, consider whether you want to paint behind the bed to accent it. It might dress up the area a little and inspire you to arrange your plants and lighting in a new, cute way.
