As a busy mum, it's easy to feel like you're constantly swimming in a sea of chaos—laundry piles, dishes, toys, and clutter everywhere. Even with the best intentions, getting the whole house under control can feel impossible.
But what if I told you that you don’t need to tackle it all to feel calm? Clearing off just one small space—like your bedside table—can have a powerful impact. Think of it as creating a little sanctuary right where you start and end your day.
Studies show that our brains respond positively to minimalist, clutter-free spaces, helping us feel more focused and less overwhelmed. And while a spotless home may not be realistic every day (especially with little ones running around!), focusing on a single area—like your bedside table—can bring an unexpected sense of calm. Whether it's prepping it for your night-time reading routine or simply clearing off the clutter, this small act of self-care can do wonders for your mind.
So, let's dive in. I'll walk you through how to make your bedside table a little retreat, even in the busiest of homes.
First things first, clear some space and empty everything out. Yes, I mean everything. You might even discover that long-lost earring or that pen you "borrowed" from the bank. As you do this, sort everything into three piles (or boxes if you’re feeling fancy):
Now that you've unearthed all the treasures (and trash), it's time to clean. Give the drawers and the surface a good wipe down. Start with a quick vacuum if there's a lot of dust or fluff. and remember to vacuum behind the bedside table as well. Then, grab a cloth and some soapy water or our Everyday Spray. If you find any sticky spots or stubborn grime, a bit of our Cleaning Paste will have it shining in no time. TIP: Cleaning your bedside table with Figgy & Co's Everyday Spray, infused with pure essential oils, turns a simple task into a soothing and dare I say it, enjoyable ritual. The pure essential oils we use are a thoughtful blend that will uplift your space, making it feel fresher and more serene, adding a touch of joy to your self-care routine.
While you’re in the cleaning zone, give the rest of the table area a quick tidy. Wipe down any picture frames, lamps, or that little dish you keep your jewellery in. If you have a mirror nearby, a quick buff with a vinegar-based spray will have it sparkling.
Now comes the fun part—putting everything back in a way that makes sense! Use small boxes or baskets to bring together those tiny items that love to roll around, like hair ties, pens, and random bits of jewellery. Consider categorising things for easy access, like a small box for night-time essentials (hello, lip balm) and another for chargers and cables.
Keeping your bedside table clear is more than just tidying up—it’s a simple act of self-care that has a big impact. A clutter-free space reduces distractions and helps create a calm, restful environment, which is exactly what you need at the end of a long day.
When your bedside table is piled with things like books and trinkets, it can mess with your sleep and leave the room feeling chaotic. But when you keep it clear, you’re creating a peaceful little corner in your home.
Plus, regular cleaning keeps dust at bay, which is especially important for your health, particularly if anyone in the family has allergies or asthma. By making this a quick weekly habit, you’re not only creating a more intentional, relaxing space but also making it easier to breathe a little deeper at night.
Your bedside table doesn’t have to be another clutter zone—it can be a tiny sanctuary that brings you a little calm, right where you need it most.
Maintaining a clean and organised bedside table doesn't have to be a chore. Here are some top tips to keep it tidy and functional:
