Decluttering Tips from the Pros

Decluttering a room can be overwhelming without a plan and the right tools for the job. So first things first create a plan. What's your goal? Is it to eliminate items from a space with the goal of free space or is it to reorganize items so they are easier to access? Setting a goal will help you stay focused and help you from becoming overwhelmed.

With your goal in mind think about the tools you might need. If your goal is to eliminate items from your space get some old boxes or garbage bags to place items to donate to thrift stores or place in the trash. If your goal is to organize items have organizing bins and storage containers readily on hand so you can easily start combining similar items.

To do a thorough job of decluttering, you really need to be honest with yourself and learn to let things go. Evaluate every item and ask yourself if you use it, need it, and/or love it. Would you still buy the item today? Does it add value to your life? If the answer is “no”, it’s time to let it go.

Clean as you go. We recommend wiping all items and furniture as you work through the organizing process. It's not often you pull everything from a shelf, so make the most of it and give it a good cleaning.
