Making Room in my iCloud for backups?

I am always getting a message that I can't backup my devices to iCloud because I don't have enough room. How do I delete some items that are backed up to make more room?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1

This article provides some suggestions for doing this. In addition to what is discussed in the article, bear in mind that your backup includes your text messages. If you messages include lots of photos and/or videos, they can greatly add to the size of the backup, and deleting these from your messages can significantly reduce the storage needed for your backup.
