12 Days of Christmas Decluttering: Day 5 Surface Declutter

For the 5th day of Christmas decluttering I give to you a surface declutter. Initially, this means we need to go around the home and any surface, such as bedside table, windowsill, dining table, side tables, need to be clear of clutter.

Where do you start with a surface declutter?

You can choose any room to get started with. You will be able to work through every room in the house in the next few minutes. The idea is that you need to put everything back in its place or if you don’t know where to put it, it is time to find it a new home. Clear out any rubbish immediately and recycle any old paperwork.

Troublesome areas

Do you find the same areas are becoming cluttered? Now is a good time to think about how you are using the space and whether it is a case of having too many of the same items. Do you need a better organisation strategy to be put into place?

End results

The end results are surprisingly good. Even a short amount of time can hugely improve the loom of your home for a more streamlined and minimalist loo. Just remember, try to avoid just shoving things out of sight. Make sure you evaluate each item carefully.
