the Bedroom

My tip when beginning your decluttering journey is to start in your bedroom. Why? Because having a clutter-free and organized bedroom will benefit you in many ways. Better sleep will help you to be more rested so you can declutter more with all that new and amazing energy.

the Closet

Next, on your decluttering list is the bedroom closet. This is an important area to keep streamlined, especially since our clothes can be so costly. Keeping things organized will help your clothes to last.
