Decluttering your home can help reduce stress and improve your overall well-being. Is your home disorganized? Are you feeling overwhelmed by clutter?
By creating more space, you can foster a tranquil and peaceful environment. Identify the areas of your home that feel chaotic, and begin with one room at a time, taking the time to restore order.
Kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most important rooms to organize. It’s often cramped with canned goods, pots, and pans, and is frequently used. However, it can also become a catch-all for things like bills, unread magazines, homework, and miscellaneous items that have no designated spot.
Take a moment to assess your kitchen’s cabinets and shelves, and rethink how to best use the space. Consider using vertical shelving to maximize storage and ensure everything is easily accessible. Regularly purge expired items, and always return things to their designated spots.
Invest in organizing tools like baskets and canisters to help contain items and keep them fresh.
Bathroom
Tidy up bathroom shelves, drawers, and under-sink storage to better organize your health and beauty products.
Sort through your items: keep only what you use, and discard expired medications (check labels for expiration dates).
Also, assess your towels and washcloths—discard any that are stained, worn, or unpleasant-smelling. You can repurpose them as rags or donate them.
Bedroom
Good sleep is essential for health, and an overcrowded closet can disrupt the peaceful environment you need for restful sleep. Toss clothes that no longer fit, shoes with broken heels, or bags with holes.
Put away items that belong in other rooms, and sell or donate anything still in good condition but no longer needed. Store items properly in their designated areas.
Maintaining a Decluttered Space
To maintain the clutter-free space you’ve worked hard to create, try the following:
- One in, one out rule: For every new item you bring into your home, get rid of something similar.
- Don’t hide clutter from other rooms in the bedroom.
- Hang clothes immediately after wearing them.
Malignant Clutter
Some possessions have emotional weight and can bring up painful memories or overwhelming feelings. These items can impact your mental and emotional health. While it may be difficult to part with them, it’s important to assess how these possessions make you feel. Consider eliminating items that no longer serve you or bring positivity into your life.
