Is your home feeling cluttered after the Holidays? Leftovers, new seasonal dรฉcor, gracious gifts, and more?

We’ve all been there – check out some of the ideas below and comment below your favorite decluttering tips. You got this!

โ„๏ธ Do a 10-minute declutter! Working sections of your home, and for a set time, can make the process less overwhelming.

โ„๏ธ Accommodate new gifts! Don’t let your new items stay in boxes or sit in a corner. Incorporate them into your belongings as soon as you can.

โ„๏ธ Time to take down the dรฉcor? Evaluate whatโ€™s in poor condition or no longer necessary, and donate or throw away dรฉcor before storing it away until next year.
