{30} Things to Declutter

Empty Shelf
Mandi Ehman


Since Life Your Way began as Organizing Your Way, I thought we’d dive right in with an organizing post next. As you know, I’m a huge advocate of decluttering your space to make time and room for the things that matter most. I’m not sure I’d call myself a minimalist just yet (although people who have been to my home do!), but I do believe that having less stuff is always better than having more!


Not sure where to start? Here’s a list of 30 things to declutter:

1. Books?! (Or not…)

2. Clothes.

3. Children’s clothes.

4. Shoes.

5. Magazines.

6. Small appliances in your kitchen.

7. Puzzles and games.

8. Toys.

9. Free samples and half-used toiletries.

10. Craft supplies.

11. Old food & spices.

12. Kitchen tools.

13. Seasonal decor.

14. Knick knacks.

15. Anything that’s been in storage for more than six months.

16. Outdoor toys.

17. Warranty manuals.

18. DVDs and CDs.

19. Extra cords and plugs.

20. Jewelry.

21. Children’s art.

22. Sports equipment and gear.

23. Coupons.

24. Extra sheet sets.

25. Your purse.

26. Junk drawer.

27. Lost socks.

28. Sentimental items.

29. Cookbooks.

30. Baby clothes and gear.
