Wardrobe Declutter

I love ❤️ a wardrobe declutter & giving advice on the best things for each individual client. Everyone is different & we all have varying amounts of storage.

I sent my lovely lady photos of scarf 🧣 hangers, belt organiser & jewellery sorters.

When you have plenty of space we organised everything into categories & managed to create enough room not to have to pack winter/ autumn clothing away.

Hangers are important & my top tip is to never use wire ones, they do nothing for your fabrics & can leave items misshaped.

We had a really good session in the heat & managed to donate a black bag to the charity shop. My client had already had a big clear out last year 😊.

If you need any advice on sorting your wardrobe get in touch.

Have a lovely day & don’t forget tidy home tidy mind.

My Organising & Decluttering Week

So far this week I have been to Barnet, Berkhamsted & Brookmans Park it’s all about the B’s.

Barnet was a regular lovely lady who I food shop for and maintain a tidy flat. We always have an issue with excess papers & clothes which is soon fixed.

Berkhamsted is my long term weekly lovely client. I tidy, declutter, organise, meal plan, online food shop etc etc.

Brookmans Park was another lovely client who needed help with her daughter’s bedroom. We blitzed it together & organised so that everything has its place. We managed to get 5 black sacks of rubbish & recycling.

Had a lovely week & I am so lucky 🍀 to have such amazing clients.

Hope you are all having a good week & ready for the heat wave that’s on its way.
Stay safe in the sun ☀️ & enjoy the long weekend.

Why Labelling Your Office & Kitchen Changes Everything

A well labelled space does more than look tidy- it saves time, reduces stress & makes everyday tasks smoother.
Whether you are organising a busy family kitchen or creating an efficient home office, labels help everything stay in the right place & make it easier for everyone to keep the space organised long term.

In an office, labels speed up workflows & reduce clutter on desks & shelves.

In the kitchen, they make cooking & meal prep faster because ingredients & utensils are easy to locate.

I use a Dymo Letratag for my clients & in my home too. They are really simple to use & more economical than lots of fancy printers.

Labelling is a small change that creates a big impact. It turns cluttered spaces into organised systems that are easier to maintain & more enjoyable to use.

One question? Do you love a label?

Have a lovely week & remember tidy home/ office tidy mind 😊.

IKEA Visit

I haven’t been to IKEA in years & considering my career you can imagine I was like a kid in a sweet shop.
They have so many storage ideas 💡 for every room in your home.

I especially love all the solutions to organise your kitchen cupboards & drawers. How can you go wrong when lots of containers are only a £1 & even a cutlery organiser too if you don’t mind green 💚.

I think there Kallax units are amazing & they have so many choices of containers to fit in including various basket options, lots of colours & some for the little ones.

I have been researching for a clients kitchen session coming up & was pleased that they also home delivery 🚚.

I had a lovely time there & enjoyed the food too in the cafe.

Have you been to IKEA recently? Do you have a favourite product from there?

New Month New Goals

Do you set yourself goals each month or week?
If decluttering or organising a space inside or outside your home check out my previous posts for helpful hints & tips.

I have an ongoing to do list & each month I will prioritise a few tasks to get completed.

I am completing a programme with & I have learnt to change my habits by making them part of my routine. For example drinking more water 💦 by keeping a log, stop looking at my phone after 8pm to help with sleep etc. My favourite is going out for a walk after dinner to help with my blood sugar levels.

Keeping your home tidy & organised can be helped by changing your habits. Make your bed the minute you get out of it, tidy your kitchen tops before bed & filling the dishwasher or washing up not long after your meals. The list is endless but by introducing some each month it will really make a difference.

Have a fab long bank holiday weekend & if you need any advice get in touch 😊.

Remember tidy home 🏡 tidy mind.

Garage Organised For Moving Day

My client wanted to sort her garage ready to move. Took 5 hours to complete the tasks apart from the visits to the waste & recycling ♻️ centre.

We organised everything into categories
Auction
Donate
Keep
Bin
Recycle ♻️

We also sorted a section to be left for the new owners which included flooring , garden tiles & paint used currently in the house.

My car was full to be taken to the charity shop. It’s important to have a declutter before you move so you do not have to do it in your new home. It’s even more important if you are downsizing.

A lot of dumps as we used to call them have the usual spot for waste plus a section for items that can be recycled & sold on. Duplicate garden tools are a perfect example of something that shouldn’t be just binned. If you prefer use free cycle or Facebook groups in your area to donate.

Organised & labelled boxes make life so much easier when moving. My top tip is to always have a box 📦 with your kettle & bits to make hot drinks when you arrive at your destination. Make sure this goes with you not with the removal team 😊.

If you are moving soon & need any advice give me a shout.

Don’t forget tidy home 🏡 tidy mind 😊.

Have a great rest of the week & just think only 3 days till the long weekend 🥳.

Footwear Declutter

When considering a declutter or sort out of your footwear always start by gathering them all together. When you can see the extent of your collection you can make a better choice on whether you need 10 pairs of black boots or 4 pairs of white trainers 😊?

Organise into categories of sandals, flip flops, walking boots 🥾 etc & decide on how many you need of each?
Ask yourself the following ⬇️

When was the last time I wore them?
Are they comfortable?
Do they fit & are in good condition?
Do you need gardening boots 👢 if you don’t have a garden 🪴?
Are your tennis 🎾 shoes 👟 surplus to requirements when you no longer can play?

If you are struggling for space don’t keep for the just in case scenario, keep what brings you joy as the lovely Marie Kondo would say.

Once you have been through the numbers game of how many to keep put them back neatly & in correct storage if need be.
As you can see in the photo putting one shoe 👞 one way & the other the opposite it takes up less room.

Hope you have found this post useful & please get in touch if you need any advice or share your top tips on storing your footwear.

What Are The Benefits Of A Tidy Home?

It sometimes gets overlooked how much an untidy home can have on your mental health & plays on your mind without you realising.
The benefits below I believe will contribute to an overall improvement in your quality of life. ⬇️

1. Clutter can contribute to feelings of anxiety & overwhelm by taking away the clutter you will get a sense of relief. A tidy home can help create a sense of calm & a relaxed vibe.

2. When everything has a place you will increase your productivity. Finding things easily & getting things done quicker, who wouldn’t want this ?

3. A clutter free environment can help you concentrate & stay focused on the tasks in hand.

4. Who doesn’t want more space? By getting rid of the clutter you can make your home feel clear, spacious & comfortable.

5. By maintaining a tidy home you will save time in the long run. Imagine spending less time for looking 👀 for lost things or not having to constantly clear up mess.

6. An organised & clean home will reduce the risk of allergies 🤧, asthma & other health related issues related to dust & dirt.

7. Maintaining a tidy home will give you a sense of accomplishment & control. No more panicking when the door bell 🔔 goes or not inviting visitors to your pad.

Hope you have a terrific Tuesday & don’t forget tidy home 🏡 tidy mind.
