There’s a trend in homeownership sweeping the country about decluttering and purging items from your drawers, closets, and corners.
One of the great gathering places for clutter and “nowhere else to put it” or “drop it here for now” rooms is the living room.
Unless its holiday time, this room can become a catchall for everything from mail to clothes to dishes to linens. Here is a simple formula that applies to cabinets, furniture, chests, tables, and storage units.
- Take everything out of the space.
- Purge like crazy.
- Put like items together.
- Corral like items.
- Label! (optional, and only pertains to certain items)
- Refill your space.
- Train yourself to put things back in their spot.
- Don’t be afraid to change up systems that aren’t working.
