Spring may be the traditional time of year to give your house a good cleaning, but there is never really a bad time to declutter your space and make it all fresh and new. Of course, if you really have a hate on for cleaning, then maybe you just keep putting it off or moving things from one room to another, in the hopes that they will put themselves away? I know I am guilty of this one, which is ironic because I can’t stand clutter!
From a non-professional’s point of view (that’s me) getting rid of clutter is a huge challenge, especially when you think you can not live without all of that stuff piled up in the corner. I mean, it’s there for a reason, right? I would hate to just chuck it away and discover a week later that I really needed that thing! Well, we have some help for all of you decluttering dawdlers. The fine folks at MakeSpace, a great storage service, want to share their tips with their Decluttering, Decision-Making Flowchart and how to use The KonMari Method for decluttering. Have a look-see and get to work!

What is the one area in your home you would most like to use the KonMari Method in? I have two; my office and my bedroom!

I always need help help in my bedroom, especially the closet, and then my spare room, everything gets tossed in there, oh my what a mess!!
This would be very useful in my bedroom.
I’d love to use this method on my storage room to make some space
It would work for so many areas Kyle. I am keen to try it with our basement soon!
I need so much help with decluttering. I am just at a loss!
I used too declutter every time I moved – that was every 3-5 yrs, it worked well for me. Now that one of my adult sons has moved back home there’s absolute chaos!
Our basement and storage room are in need of decluttering so this flowchart would definitely help.
I love the flow charts! It makes it easy to see the steps
LOL, that is what caught my eye too!
This is so helpful. I love the chart. I love to go through my boys and my clothing every season and donate what we don’t need anymore.
Definitely need to pay attention to my basement!
I need so much help with decluttering the basement because hubby keeps bringing in but dont take any out,upstairs is my area and i love for everything to have a place and nothing dragging around.I love order.
This is great! I would use it in my bedroom and my library.
Great tips! I hate clutter but yet it seems I turn my head and my table is cluttered with stuff!
I hate clutter,less is better people…so much better
wow, I am going to use this for my husband to sort through his stuff, lets hope we don’t end up with the same amount
I can’t stand clutter, so I always through out what I don’t want or need and I put everything else in containers
I need to instill these methods in my kids!!
They are hoarders or dont mind living in a pig sty!
I did a huge de-clutter a few years ago it was liberating!
Oh geez, I need this for my storage room. It’s time to give it a good cleaning out!
I am hoping to start some decluttering and cleaning next week and will start with the basement.
