There is nothing romantic about a home that looks messy and untidy. Clutter not only makes us feel stressed and anxious, it also attracts dust and mould which affects the air quality and our health.
Removing clutter can be overwhelming so take it one room at a time. Start in the bedroom, nothing is more unromantic than your bedroom looking like an office, with files, papers and bills lying around. In the kitchen, remove clutter from the counter tops, pantry and fridge. Don’t forget the outside of the fridge – too many fridge magnets holding up appointment reminders and bills, are a reminder of how stressful life can be. In the living room clear out old magazines, dead plants and donate anything you don’t use or don’t like. Clearing clutter not only makes your home feel serene and welcoming it makes good financial sense too.
