De-Clutter without going Minimalist

Piggy-backing on our "DeCLUTTER" blogging trend this week, we have realized that many people might associate de cluttering with "minimalism" or extreme modern. BUT it doesn't have to be.

This is how to achieve a less cluttered home with some love:

1. Go up the walls - "declutter first, storage second". Whether it's in bookcases or built ins, use those walls to hide the clutter.

2. Take FULL advantage of hallways: Mud rooms, storage benches and more.

3. Tame the kitchen - put away unused appliances. Hide as many things.

4. Secret storage is key: From storage ottomans to fully enclosed closets, hiding is the name of the game.

5. Use what you love: This room is far from minimalist, yet it is completely clutter free!

Decorating Mistakes that Make Your House Look Messy

As designers, our eyes are DRAWN to clutter. If you can de-clutter, you can live more glamorously with EASE.

We have a few tips to help you not make common mistakes that lead to clutter and mess...and we are the queens of creative storage solutions! Hide what you can:)

1. Keep Furniture Away from Walls:

When furniture pieces are pushed against walls it seems to close the space in and

appear everything is lined up.

2. Fluff Your Pillows on your Sofa:

While this may sound silly ... your sofa can look like its in shambles if the cushions

aren't sitting nicely.

3. Keep Cords Hidden:

Under consoles, by nightstands etc ... keep those cords hidden!

4. Less Clutter on Shelves:

Instead of accessories on accessories ... choose your favorite 5 and arrange them specifically for those pieces.

5. Hang Pictures in an Organized Fashion:

If you have a collage wall or several art images hung on the wall, create order to the space.

Go -- De Clutter -- Enjoy your HOME

Welcome to the New Year - Go Clutter-Free

There's an endless amount of new years resolutions you can choose from --

but this one is worth it for so many reasons.

Going clutter-free is something that will both benefit you, the others around you, and will for a long time!

Here's a few reasons WHY from around the web--

1. Create free time:

With less around you, there is LESS to do

2. Spend less money:

When you don't need to fill up your countertops -- there is automatically less to buy

3. Feel more calm:

With endless amounts of piles, you feel stressed. When there aren't piles ... calmness ensues.

4. Get better sleep:

I don't know about y'all, but I sleep better when i know things are in their place and picked up.

5. Sit down without having to move something:

Enough said ... DONE!

Start now -- YOU CAN DO IT!
