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.

After many years of minimalist living, I’ve learned that your “stuff” will almost always expand to fill the space available.
