Self-storage can be a helpful option during the decluttering process. It provides a temporary solution for items you want to keep but lack space for. However, whether you need self-storage depends on factors such as the amount of clutter, available space in your home, and your long-term storage needs.

The fastest way to declutter is to adopt the "four-box method." Label four boxes: keep, donate/sell, trash, and relocate. Quickly go through each area, placing items into the appropriate box based on whether you want to keep, donate/sell, discard, or relocate them. This method helps streamline the decluttering process by making decisions swiftly and efficiently.

The 12-12-12 Challenge involves finding 12 items to discard, 12 items to donate, and 12 items to return to their rightful place. Transforming this decluttering task into a game or competition with your family can add an element of enjoyment to the process.

According to the five-year decluttering rule, if you haven't used an item in five years, it's likely unnecessary to keep it in your home.

Although you can organise your home independently, enlisting the services of a professional declutterer can save time and alleviate stress. The cost of decluttering services varies depending on location, with average hourly fees ranging from £30 to £65.

Choose the most cluttered space in your house. Pick one room you feel could function better. For most people, the answer is usually the closet!

While decluttering and minimalism are often used interchangeably, they differ quite a bit. Decluttering commonly serves as the initial step for people seeking to simplify their lives and reduce possessions. However, many stop at decluttering and do not proceed to embrace minimalism as a lifestyle.
