Embrace Minimalism for Home Organisation

One area that many of us struggle with is keeping our homes organised and clutter-free. This year, why not try something different and embrace the minimalist philosophy into your home organisation plans?

 

Minimalism is about simplifying your life and focusing on what truly matters. It means getting rid of the things that don't serve a purpose or bring you joy and keeping only what you truly need and love. This can apply to your physical possessions, as well as your schedule and commitments.

 

Here are some tips to get you started:

 

1. Start small. Don't try to declutter your entire house all at once. Instead, start with one room or even just one drawer or shelf. 

2. Ask yourself, "Does this bring me joy?" for every item you come across. If the answer is no, consider getting rid of it (bin/sell/donate). If this concept doesn’t work for you, another option is to bin/sell/donate anything that you haven't used in the past year. This includes clothes, shoes, kitchen gadgets, and even furniture. If you haven't used it in the past year, chances are you don't need it. 

3. Simplify your decor. When it comes to decor, less is more. Stick to a few key pieces that you love, and let them be the focal point of your room. 

4. Create a designated space for everything. Once you've decluttered, make sure that everything has a designated place to go, so it's easy to put away and find later. 

5. Be mindful of what you bring into your home. Before you make a purchase, ask yourself if it's something that you truly need or if it will add value to your life. 

6. Be consistent with your decluttering and organisation. Set aside time each week to maintain your minimalism and organisation.

 

By embracing minimalism, you'll not only have a cleaner, more organised home, but you'll also find that you have more time and energy to focus on the things that truly matter to you.
