Small Space Decluttering Tips
- How to read the score: 6-8 means KEEP, 3-5 means REVIEW, and 0-2 means it is time to LET GO.
- Put REVIEW items in one dedicated box for 30 days. If you never reach for them, they are almost certainly safe to release: donate, sell, or recycle.
- In a small bedroom, prioritize letting go of large items you rarely use; one big item frees up more space than ten small ones.
- In a minimalist kitchen, start with duplicate tools (two spatulas, three similar pots) and expired spices or ingredients.
- Declutter first, then work out your storage box needs so you do not buy containers for items you should be letting go of.
