Savvy storage ideas and functional furnishings can make sweet dreams a reality in organizing your bedroom.

In shallow drawers, store socks, nylons and tights, and lingerie and underwear, as well as ties (if there's not enough space in the closet to install a tie rack).

Look for adjustable drawer organizers with separate sections for ties and each pair of socks, nylons and tights.

Keep lingerie snag-free in fabric-lined boxes that fit neatly in a drawer.

Deep drawers are great for T-shirts, casual shirts (put sweaters in the closet if there's space for them), jeans, shorts, sleepwear, gym clothes and swimwear; use dividers to separate clothing. Also, imitate the way retailers fold T-shirts and sweaters – those neat stacks take up a lot less room than bunched-up items.

Get rid of the boxes your baubles came in; not only do they waste space, but they also make it difficult to find things. Instead, count up rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings and then go shopping for the right container. A large jewelry box can add to your decor if you have room on top of the dresser. If not, try fabric jewelry rolls or velvet-lined jewelry trays that fit in a shallow drawer. For costume pieces, buy a plastic pocket jewelry organizer for the closet, or transparent trays that you can keep in a dresser drawer or on a closet shelf. Consider placing valuables in a safety deposit box at the bank.

The top of the dresser is often where we (in my case, my husband) unload loose change, receipts, watches, wallets and other accessories. Reduce clutter with a gentleman's valet tray that has sections for organizing small items. It will look neater than lots of separate containers
