Refresh your home with these decluttering tips. Understand that decluttering is distinct from cleaning and start with easy, non-sentimental items to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Avoid creating "DOOM drawers" by simply moving items around.

Use a system like the five-box method (keep, donate, trash) and categorize similar items. Don't feel guilty letting go of unwanted gifts or expensive items; consider selling valuable but unused goods on Trade Me. Declutter before moving and label everything to maintain long-term order.
