A clutter-free home isn’t just visually appealing; it also brings peace of mind. Start the new year fresh with these simple yet effective decluttering hacks, paired with products from Nellie’s Wicks and Bricks to make your journey even smoother!
1. The 20-Minute Rule
Set a timer for 20 minutes and focus on decluttering one small area. Tackling tasks in short bursts keeps the process manageable. Use Reusable Storage Bins to organize items you’re keeping in a stylish and eco-friendly way.
2. The One-Year Rule
If you haven’t used or worn something in the past year, it’s time to let it go. Keep donation-ready items smelling fresh with Lavender Sachets before dropping them off.
3. One In, One Out
Adopt a “one in, one out” policy. For every new item brought into your home, remove one. Simplify your wardrobe storage with Cedar Closet Hangers to protect your clothes and add a touch of luxury.
4. Tackle One Room at a Time
Focus on one room or area per day or week. This approach helps you stay organized and prevents overwhelm. Light a Nellie’s Lavender 12oz Soy Candle to create a calming atmosphere while you work. Get it here—-> https://square.link/u/SNAv99bT
5. Use the Four-Box Method
Label four boxes: Keep, Donate, Trash, and Relocate. Go through your belongings and categorize each item. Use Decorative Storage Crates to neatly store items you plan to keep.
6. Digital Declutter
Clear out your digital clutter by deleting unused apps, organizing files, and unsubscribing from unnecessary emails. Keep your workspace fresh and inspired with a Desk Diffuser, paired with Nellie’s, Essential Oils. Get it here —> https://square.link/u/nXV0YU1c
7. The Hanger Trick
Turn all your hangers backward into your closet. As you wear an item, turn the hanger the right way. After six months, donate the clothes still hanging backward. Use Fabric Refresher Spray to keep your donation pile smelling great.
8. 12-12-12 Challenge
Challenge yourself to find 12 items to throw away, 12 to donate, and 12 to put back in their proper place. Keep things organized with Stackable Storage Bins.
9. Declutter Daily Hotspots
Identify clutter hotspots, like kitchen counters or entryways, and spend 5 minutes a day tidying them. Place a Nellie’s Wax Melt Warmer nearby for a fragrant boost while you clean. Pair with Nellie’s Wax Melt Crumbles for an aromatic space! Get it here —-> https://square.link/u/nXV0YU1c
10. Keep a Donation Box
Keep a box in a convenient spot and add items to it throughout the month. Once it’s full, donate it. Use Durable Donation Tote Bags for easy transport.
11. Photos Before and After
Take a photo of a cluttered area before and after decluttering. Seeing the transformation is incredibly motivating. Use Room Sprays to enhance the freshly organized space.
12. Unsubscribe from Junk Mail
Stop physical clutter at the source by unsubscribing from unnecessary mail. Organize important letters in Mail Organizer Box for a tidy system.
13. Repurpose Storage Solutions
Use baskets, bins, and clear containers to keep items organized. Label them for quick identification. Check out Multi-Purpose Storage Jars for a chic solution.
14. Marie Kondo Method
Pick up each item and reflect on whether it brings you joy. If it doesn’t, express gratitude for its purpose and part ways with it. Light a Nellie’s Library Candle to create a serene environment during this process. Get it here —> https://square.link/u/nXV0YU1c
