20 Easy Home Declutter Hacks

To live in a clutter free home is the ultimate dream of many.

Unfortunately, it’s not so easy when you have kids, pets, a family, loads of stuff everywhere, and more.

Sometimes we don’t even know where to start.

We have so many things that have piled up over the years, and can’t imagine parting with our sentimental items.

Over the course of several years, I lived in three different states.

Every time I moved, I would leave all my stuff at my parents house, because I couldn’t imagine throwing any of it away.

My parents home became a free storage unit, which was completely unfair to them.

When I began to change my mindset and moved towards a more minimalist lifestyle, I made a promise to them that next time I visited their home, I would begin to declutter all that junk.

If you are feeling STUCK on where to start when it comes to the process of decluttering, here are 20 ideas to get you going.
