Embracing simplicity in your home doesn’t mean you have to forgo bright colors, abandon your style, or give up all your favorite things.
The key is to avoid overcomplicating things. If it’s too hard to follow, you’ll procrastinate, and nothing will get done. Instead, handle your paper clutter right away, as soon as it enters your house.
Try stepping back and looking at your items individually. Sometimes things appear more valuable when grouped together, but when separated from the collection, they lose their appeal.
Where do you go to relax? Your bedroom? A favourite chair by the window? Under a cozy blanket on your sofa? Elevate these spaces to true sanctuaries by keeping them clutter-free.
Next time you run out of something, or something breaks, pause before you replace it. This is one of the best ways to “declutter” without actually decluttering!
