How can I help my granddaughter uncluttered her bedroom?

You're gonna need a strategy beyond just buying a ton of storage bins.

1. Involve her from the beginning. ...
2. Have her give you a tour of the room before you start decluttering. ...
3. Talk about how stuff has "a home." ...
4. Give her permission to let go of stuff they really don't want. ...
5. Start from the bottom up – literally.

Oh dear. Yes, she needs to be taught proper organizational skills now. How old is she? In college she will aggravate any roommate and foster bad vibes. Pick up second hand shelving units and pretty baskets to get everything up off the floor and create a home for all her belongings. Do it together, and make it clear, your house, your rules. If budget allows, offer to repaint and update her decor with cheap finds and DIY projects to get her motivated to tidy up and keep it that way.

I would get her involved, in a couple of ways:

Get a tall shelving unit ($18), take her shopping have her pick out some fun cheap fabric and teach her how to hand stitch a rod pocket & a hem.

This will be the curtains on the front of the shelving unit.

While you’re out shopping, show her how to size & buy a tension rod.

Put the curtains on the rod under the front edge of the top shelf.

Then teach her about putting heavy things on the bottom shelves, so that the shelving unit doesn’t get tippy.

Even if she’s 6 years old, she can be involved in most of these things.

Start in one corner and sort through everything laying around. Clothes in one pile, etc. See if there are things she may not want anymore that you can give away or whatever. She may have things n there that belong in other rooms, remove them to where they belong. Organize the closet and her drawers so that they are usable. If necessary, use under bed boxes to store jeans, t-shirts, things that don't wrinkle, or seasonal clothes. If there are things she doesn't use real often, put up some higher shelves in the closet and store them and seasonal clothes up there. Anything homework or school related should go onto her homework area, a small desk or table and chair. Make sure that she helps you deliver anything in her clothing that doesn't fit anymore or she doesn't wear anymore to salvation army or wherever and she may get in the habit of doing it on a regular basis to help others out. We have a few schools in our city that take gently used clothing for kids that need them because they can't afford them, or their clothes were damaged at school and need something to change into. If she has some room in her closet, a chest of drawers will hold an assortment of things off the floor and bed, books, extra school supplies, jewelry, craft type things, artwork and supplies, etc.

Some very good and useful tips here.
