Every room of the house has it to some degree and if you let it get out of control, it can be a real bear to tackle. Clutter is one of the main things that stops our homes from looking as great as they should. Here are some tips for reducing clutter all over the home.
- Get the mail under control with an inbox/outbox instead of letting it pile on a kitchen counter or coffee table. Get in the habit of going through the mail each day and immediately discarding junk.
- If knick-knacks are cluttering your shelves and bookcases, set yourself a limit. Perhaps you decide to only display three items at a time. Stick to that, but feel free to switch out your collections occasionally.
- Dump out the junk drawer and toss anything you’ll never use.
- Put away the dishes—correctly. Stack pots inside pans so items are easy to find and retrieve next time you need to use them.
- Minimize photo frames by switching multiple small frames to a multi-frame picture display for the wall.
- Toss magazines and catalogs. You can find the same information online.
