10 Ways to Turn Your Chaotic Home Into A Clutter-free Space

By MiguelSalcido on February 1, 2012

A cluttered home is one of the most common problems in the world. Seemingly, anyone can relate to the problem of a messy or disorganized home. Reduce your homes clutter and make your life easier with a few simple steps.
 

10. Assess a Monetary Value to Your Space

Consider the amount you pay in mortgage, rent, or property taxes each month. This amount means that every square foot of your house has a monthly value. When considering whether to keep or discard an item, ask yourself: Is it worth the amount of space it uses? If not, throw it away.

9. No, You Probably Won’t Need This Someday

Most clutter accumulates because of the mistaken notion that you will eventually need it. After a year or two, clothes you don’t wear and items you don’t use are no longer necessary. Find a charity to donate your used item to, and you can feel good knowing that you helped someone in need while reducing your home’s clutter.

So many design books today are filled with houses that only an elite few can come close to approximating--the "Architectural Digest" type. Jeffrey Bilhuber's book is compiled of beautiful vignettes that contain wonderful ideas for placement and juxtaposition of objects and fabrics. He combines the classic with the contemporary in interesting and evocative ways. I bought this book for myself and for Christmas presents. I think he truly has exciting taste.
