Simply De-cluttering - Part One

For a lot of people, January means starting life with a clean slate. This could mean eating more healthily, drinking less / no alcohol, exercising more or simplifying our homes. 

Simplifying our homes starts by de-cluttering our stuff so that our home supports our vision of life and only keeping the things that we love or truly need. In return,  our homes will be more welcoming, easier to maintain and more calm.

Don’t worry though, this can be achieved without taking extreme measures – utilitarian and minimalist are not the only definition of simple! The trick is to find a happy medium where you are organised to the level you want to be and have your home as tidy as you want it to be.

Reasons to de-clutter:
  • Save time & money by being more organised
  • Less stress
  • Mental clarity and better emotional health
  • Increase space
  • Reduce workload
  • Uncover hidden income by selling unwanted / unused items
  • Create a good impression
  • Reduce allergies
Once you have made space in your home, you can look at it with new eyes and it will give you the opportunity to have a make over to express the new you!
