BECOME A MINIMALIST BY<br />

DE-CLUTTERING<br />

8<br />

Becoming a minimalist can be hard and is not<br />

for everyone, but it is a great start to freshening up your home<br />

for <strong>2020</strong>. Clutter can account for a lot of lost space in your rooms<br />

and by de-cluttering some of this you can maximise the space<br />

in your home. Ask yourself the hard questions.... do I use this?<br />

do I like it? or as Marie Kondo would say “Does this item spark<br />

joy?”. If something is useful, has an emotional connection or<br />

something you look at and love, then keep it. If it doesn’t then<br />

lose it. Follow this by using step 1, sleek storage solutions, to keep<br />

all your goods in a neat and tidy place.<br />
