Life+Style - 6 Ways To Declutter Your Home | Revry

Is your home a mess? Here are six easy and practical ways to declutter your living space. Work on one room at a time and try to get the decluttering done in one full day or two if needed. You’ll get more done and see better results by dedicating a full day to the task over a few hours here and there. Throw away out-of-date food and drink, medicines, beauty products, and other toiletries to clear space. Keep decorative ornaments and pictures to a minimum, it’s nicer to look at a cluster of four lovely ornaments and pictures than 40. Sort the random items in your ‘junk drawers’ into categories such as office supplies, DIY and cleaning products. Use the one-year rule for clothing, shoes and toys; if it hasn’t been worn or played with in a year, then it’s time to donate or recycle it. To reduce paperwork, opt for paperless billing when possible and keep notes on your phone or computer over sticky notes. To stay organized, ensure everything’s put back in its place and do a quick tidy every other day.
