Home Declutter Plan: How to Make a Whole House Decluttering Home Checklist

Have you ever wondered about those perennially tidy, organized, peaceful homes? What do those owners possess to keep them that way?

If you talk to these unicorns, you’ll discover that they don’t spend all their time cleaning. Many don’t hire cleaning services, either.

Instead, they’ve mastered a skill that sets them apart. They optimize their belongings for their space.That means that instead of filling their homes with useless clutter, everything they own has a purpose. That purpose is to make their lives easier or better.

And, if something doesn’t fit the bill, they aren’t afraid to cut it loose. Do you dream of joining the elite tidy home club? These eight habits will get you there.

Spaciousness is the mark of a tidy home. Counter surfaces are empty. Walkways are clear. All items have purpose. There is no clutter.

Truly, decluttering is the only tip you need when it comes to keeping a tidy home. When a home is free of clutter, the home is clean (and it is very easy to keep clean.)

To declutter, choose a cluttered space and start separating your things into 3 piles: keep, donate, and trash. Keep the functional items that bring you joy. Do away with the items that do not serve you.

As you declutter, more space will be made available and your home will naturally become clean and functional.

2. Everything in its Place

A home is tidy, functional and easy to clean when every item can be put away. Everything you own needs a home-base.

Keep this idea in mind as you declutter. Give your “keep” items a home. If its home turns out to be full of stuff, then you’ve found a new space to declutter.

It’s also helpful to make best use of your storage space. Baskets are wonderful storage solutions. They allow you to group your items up into families, they can be kept in a closet or on a shelf, and they are aesthetically pleasing.

Pro tip: Before buying a new item, ask yourself, “do I have a place to put this?” If the answer is no, then don’t buy it. It will likely become clutter in your home. This tip will keep your home clean, functional, and save you money.
