DECLUTTERING YOUR HOME WITH EASE
When we have a lot of stuff it can feel difficult knowing where to start decluttering. That’s why I encourage readers to take it slowly, go steady and build up decluttering confidence by practicing.
There are so many reasons to declutter your home. It makes it easier to look after and manage, gives us more physical space to move around in and is often more calm and relaxing.

Below you’ll find a list of things to declutter in August. Simple, daily projects which you can tackle each day of the month and build up your confidence, day by day.
