![]() ![]() Set aside 20 minutes each day for cleaning or tidying, this way it will not bee too much at once and it feels more doable.It makes your mind feel much less chaotic if your home is tidy, and especially if you work from home like I do it eliminates that urge to clean during office hours. For me, it is important to start the day with a tidy home so after breakfast I make sure I put away everything in the kitchen, take out of / restock the dishwasher, quickly tidy all surfaces from clutter and make the bed. Make sure you always tidy up after yourself.With the declutter done, here are my tips for creating daily habits which will help you maintain a tidy and happy home. Then every autumn and spring I change out my wardrobe with the items I will need for the seasons ahead, although some items will be ‘all year round’. I, for instance, have under-bed storage and larger boxes on top of my wardrobe where I keep what I do not need at the moment. Storage is key! In the bedroom, make sure you have space to put seasonal items to minimise the clothes visible in your closet.While getting rid of things, be sure to not be too hard on yourself – keep a box for special memories you simply cannot part ways with. ![]() Usually, these items tend to cumulate and we forget how much we have which can result in buying more even if we do not need it… Do not stock-pile items like candles or napkins.If a clothing item has not been worn for the last 6 months, why keep it?.While going through your wardrobe or things, keep three piles: sell, donate & keep. ![]() So first up, a few tips I have gathered along the way to declutter: My rule is, if it hasn’t been worn or used in the last 6 months, it should probably go.

After that move, I have been very conscious about what I buy making sure it is truly things I need and will use. It felt good to let go, to start fresh and to simply own less. With my previous last big move, from London to Milan, I ended up giving away a lot of my belongings to friends or charity shops as well as selling all the furniture. Because I have moved quite a few times over the years, I am quite good at letting things go. Moving is always a great way to get on top of everything, to go through all your belongings and declutter.

For me, the Swedish word lagom is a perfect way to think in terms of your home (if you don’t know, it means “just the right amount”). I believe that keeping a tidy and clutter-free home is all about creating good habits that you incorporate into your life and routine. ![]()
