Fret not, my friend! In this blog, I’ll be sharing with you some tips and tricks that will help you declutter your small home and keep it organized. Let’s get started! 🚀

Start With a Plan

Decluttering can be an overwhelming task, especially if you don’t have a plan in place. Before you start decluttering your home, create a plan that outlines the areas you need to declutter, how much time you’ll spend on each area, and how you’ll get rid of the clutter. Creating a plan will help you stay focused and motivated throughout the decluttering process.

Declutter One Room at a Time

Decluttering your entire home all at once is an intimidating task so it’s always best to start small. Begin by decluttering one room at a time. Start with the room that causes you the most stress. Break down the room into sections and start decluttering one section at a time. This will help you stay focused and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Separate Items into Categories

One of the best ways to declutter your small home is to separate your items into categories. Categories can include items like clothes, books, paper, kitchen items, and sentimental items. Once you’ve separated your items into categories, it will be easier to identify what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

Get Rid of Clutter Responsibly

Getting rid of clutter responsibly includes recycling, donating, selling, and upcycling. Before throwing anything out, make sure to check if it can be recycled. Donate items that are in good condition but you no longer use. Sell items that are still in good condition and upcycle items that can be given a new life with a bit of creativity!

Create a System for Storage

Once you’ve decluttered your home, keeping it organized is key! Create a system for storage that works for you. This includes using furniture for storage, like ottomans and storage beds, and integrating storage solutions like under bed storage and closet organizers.

Establish Daily Habits

Establishing daily habits like making your bed every morning and putting things back in their place after use can make a huge impact on keeping your small home organized. These habits help you avoid creating clutter and make it easier to maintain an organized space.
