Flat surfaces should be decluttered first

Tables, counter tops and shelves when comprising of clutter can be obvious to any guest visiting your home. Hence you must first start to declutter flat surfaces.

 

Don’t scatter the junk on the floor, use a basket

    These are great tips! Ever since I had my daughter I find it very challenging to keep up with the clutter! I will work on getting more storage containers IA.

    These are some great tips! I normally don’t keep my home cluttered. I have seen many houses with kids that are messy but I just can’t stand the mess so I just clean it immediately.

    These are fantastic tips! I’m in a constant decluttering phase in my house and I need to get out of it. I feel like I am running around decluttering all the time! Will it ever end? Maybe when the kids get married? Only about 18 more years to go!

    Great tips! I use lot of baskets and boxes to declutter. I also hang number of multi layer storage bags inside my wardrobe (attached to the wardrobe door). Yet, with little kids my home turns into mess in no time. Little ones do help me in cleaning up the toys but it is not going to be the same arrangement. Things often get misplaced.

    Decluttering is something we should do more often. I would love to read more such posts.

    Things seem to go on walk abouts at our house no matter how organised I try to be. So we created a simple rule “put things back , EXACTLY where you found it” lol
