Decluttering All Areas of Your Home

Here are some practical ideas to start decluttering key areas of your home, so it feels more like you:

1. Closet & Clothes

  • Pull everything out and sort by category: pants, shirts, shoes, etc.
  • Try on clothes you’re unsure about — if they don’t fit or you haven’t worn them in 6–12 months, consider donating.
  • Keep only what suits your current style and lifestyle.
  • Organize by color or type to make daily choices easier and more enjoyable.

2. Kitchen

  • Clear out expired food or spices.
  • Remove duplicates or appliances you never use.
  • Organize pantry items into containers or baskets.
  • Keep countertops mostly clear except for your favorite tools or decor that inspire you.

3. Living Room

  • Declutter surfaces like coffee tables and shelves.
  • Donate books, magazines, or media you no longer engage with.
  • Keep decor items that spark joy or reflect your personality.
  • Create a cozy, inviting space by grouping meaningful items.

4. Bathroom

  • Toss old or unused products.
  • Organize daily essentials for easy access.
  • Limit decorative items to those that bring calm or refresh your mood.

5. Work or Study Area

  • Remove old papers, broken gadgets, or cluttered stationery.
  • Only keep tools and materials you actively use.
  • Use organizers or drawers to keep the surface clean and focused.

Quick Tips for Staying Motivated:

  • Set a timer for 15-30 minutes and focus on just one area or drawer.
  • Take before-and-after photos to see your progress.
  • Play your favorite music or podcast to keep energy up.
  • Celebrate small wins — even clearing one shelf counts!
