Refresh your home with these decluttering tips. Understand that decluttering is separate from cleaning or organising. Start with easy, non-sentimental items and use a five-box method to sort things into categories like keep, donate, or trash.

Declutter *before* you move house to avoid shifting unnecessary items. Don't feel guilty about letting go of unwanted gifts or expensive things you no longer use. Consider selling valuable but unused items on Trade Me to free up space and cash.
