Serene Spaces

Gorgeous afternoon tea with friends last weekend

Flat surfaces around our homes can be Clutter Magnet Areas. Take notice of surfaces where items are left "temporarily," but then the things get left there indefinitely.

See if you can clear items from these surfaces (put them where they belong or bin them if appropriate) and restore calm to these surfaces by keeping them clear.

We all have areas in our homes that naturally attract clutter. Open surfaces, shelves, the top of storage units, in front of books, windowsills, noticeboards, fridge doors......

Without any real effort, clutter finds its way like a magnet and manages to stick to these surfaces. And then these areas become "storage" areas, so it's more difficult to get into the habit of putting things where they should go...... and so the cycle continues.

Notice. You'll spot Clutter Magnet Areas around your home. And that's the first step towards changing this habit. If you don't see them, then you can't change them.

A good decluttering session clears out unwanted items and brings order to your space.

A great decluttering session ensures that clutter doesn't build up again and provides you with the skills to maintain your home going forward.

Which one would you choose?
