Do you ever wonder how to maintain a decluttered home? Here are a few surprising secrets I’ve learned about how to clear the clutter for good.
A lot of decluttering advice focuses on small things, like letting go of knick-knacks and home decor items. But here’s a simple secret that will help you create space fast—don’t be afraid to declutter furniture.
