Tips To Get Rid Of Bedroom, Clothing & Closet Clutter
Here is a checklist of bedroom, clothing and closet clutter to consider getting rid of, plus a round up of Declutter 365 missions and articles to help you accomplish these tasks.
Often one of the most cluttered areas of your home include closets and your bedroom.
We typically like to shove things there because when company comes we can hide everything behind the closed doors, but we live there all the time, company doesn't!
So, be kind to yourself and get these areas cleared out so you can enjoy living space and functional storage space for yourself.
I encourage everyone to take the following of 52 Week Organized Home Challenges that deal with these areas of your home:
- Organize Master Closet Challenge
- Organizing Kids' Closets Challenge
- Outgrown & Seasonal Clothing Storage Challenge
- Master Bedroom Organization Challenge
- Kids' Bedroom Organizing Challenge
I've also created quite a few decluttering missions that accompany these challenges, to help you get this area of your life more manageable.
Whether you've done these missions when I've scheduled them during the year, or any other time doesn't really matter to me. I just want to celebrate your success, so here's your chance to show off some before and after pictures when you've done one of the missions. If you're ready to share now click here to begin!
