14 tips for decluttering your home this summer
Give your home a refresh for the new year.
AI summary
Refresh your home with these decluttering tips. Understand that decluttering is distinct from organising and start with easy, non-sentimental items to build momentum. Avoid creating "DOOM drawers" by simply moving items around without a decision.
Use the five-box method (keep, donate, trash, etc.) and categorise similar items together. Don't feel guilty letting go of unwanted gifts or expensive items; consider reselling valuable but unused things on Trade Me to recoup costs and free up space.
