How to achieve a Minimalist Aesthetic

Whenyouhavealotofstuff

Label Printers

Labeling storage bins/areas/drawers is a way to discipline yourself for future organization. Find a place for each category of items and stick to it. (Literally!)

First Impressions

Look at your home from the perspective of a new friend. Take notes of your first impression as you walk through each room and how they should be cleaned or reorganized. Then, go back through each room and make the respective changes. 

Five Minutes

Start with just 5 minutes per day. It will help build momentum and motivation over time, especially if you are new to decluttering.

Trash Bag

Challenge yourself to fill an entire trash bag with items that are no longer useful.

Laundry Room

This space tends to get cluttered because it’s not frequented by guests. Keep a schedule for washing and putting away laundry to avoid pile-ups. 

12-12-12 Challenge

Locate 12 items to donate, 12 to throw away, and 12 to be returned to their appropriate space. 

Shop For Storage

Clutter can easily occur if there is a lack of storage space.
Multi-purpose drawer organizers from Amazon will give
you a reason to start organizing your desk, kitchen and bathrooms.

Clear the Pantry

Give your pantry a clean slate and make things easier to find by tossing expired items, wiping down shelves, and organizing items.

Closet Cleanse

To identify the clothes you never wear, reverse the direction of all your hangers. When you wear an item, face the hanger in the correct direction. After a few months, it will be clear which items can be retired. Donate them, or re-sell items on the Poshmark app for some extra cash!

Before & After

Take a photo of a small area, such as your nightstand. Quickly clear any unessential items and take another photo. Then, compare the two photos. It will become easier to start decluttering your home once you see how clean your home could look.
