It typically happens gradually and before you know it…there’s clutter!

Clutter can be a real style killer. It not only makes your space feel smaller, but it can also hinder your space’s potential to look its best.

Decluttering is one of the first steps to creating a stylish and inviting home. Let’s dive into some practical tips on how to simplify the declutter process.

Start Small, Dream Big

Tackle one room at a time

Overwhelmed? Begin with a small space like a cupboard or a drawer. Success in a small area can motivate you to tackle larger spaces.

Categorise belongings

Sort items by category (clothes, books, kitchenware) to see what you truly own and how much you have.

Try the KonMari Method

This popular decluttering method focuses on keeping only items that spark joy. It can be a powerful tool for emotional decluttering.

Create a Decluttering System

Three-Box Method: divide your belongings into three categories: keep, donate, and discard. Be ruthless in your decision-making.

One In, One Out: for every new item brought into your home, let go of or give away something old. This prevents clutter from accumulating.

Digital Declutter: don’t forget about your digital clutter! Unsubscribe from unwanted emails, delete unused apps, properly dispose of old devices and power cables and organise your computer files.

Review Your Storage Solutions

Smart Storage: invest in storage solutions that suit your needs and style. From stylish baskets to hidden storage compartments, there are endless options.

Vertical Space: utilise vertical space with shelves, wall-mounted storage, and tall cupboards.  Don’t forget the top shelf in wardrobes!

Multifunctional Furniture: choose pieces that serve multiple purposes, like storage ottomans or beds with built-in drawers.

Maintaining a Clutter-Free Home

Schedule a Monthly/Regular Purge

Schedule regular decluttering sessions to prevent clutter from building up again after all your good work!

Digital Minimalism

Clutter isn’t always physical – try limiting screen time and perhaps even create designated tech-free zones in your home…try it.

Mindful Consumption

Be conscious of what you bring into your space and consider if it truly adds value for you and your space.

Remember, decluttering is an ongoing process. It’s about creating a space that supports your well-being and reflects your personal style. By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to a clutter-free and stylish home.
