Top 7 Items Cluttering Your Home
Clothes, books, papers, remotes, cables (who doesn’t have a box full of cables that don’t seem to go with anything?), kitchen utensils, and decorative items.
5 De-Cluttering Tips
- Fold your clothes vertically and stack them vertically to save space.
- Much like the Marie Kondo method, Alia’s system usually includes creating a space, usually a box or container for every item in your home. Nothing should be left lying around with no purpose.
- Store everything in labeled drawers, storage boxes or baskets to help keep everything in order.
- De-clutter by category rather than location.
- Discard anything that doesn’t bring you joy or doesn’t make you feel good, keep items that you absolutely love!
4 Mistakes to Avoid
- Sentimental things are the hardest to go through, so always leave it until the end.
- Giving up halfway.
- Tackling a whole room without a place to put the things you still need.
- Don’t consider that you are wasting money by ridding yourself of items. You should be able to get much more use out of the things you really love and keep.
