HOW TO KEEP YOUR HOME CLUTTER-FREE

Limit how much you keep by assigning a set space for each category, like one drawer for tools or one shelf for kitchen gadgets.

SET LIMITATIONS

Keep an open donation box in a closet or garage so you can drop items in anytime instead of waiting for a big purge.

DONATION BOXES

Set a reminder to do quick weekly or monthly check-ins where you return stray items and let go of what you no longer need.

CHECK-INS

Avoid using extra bins or baskets to hide clutter that should be tossed or donated, because it just delays the mess from coming back.

EXTRA BINS

Simplify your decor by reducing the number of items sitting out, making it easier to wipe surfaces clean and keep rooms looking fresh.
