To declutter means to organise, simplify, and remove excess items from a space, creating a cleaner, more functional, and visually appealing environment. In simple terms, decluttering is the process of eliminating unnecessary possessions and optimising the arrangement of the things you choose to keep. The main reason Australians embrace decluttering is that it transforms homes into serene, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing spaces, supporting both mental clarity and practical living.
Decluttering isn’t just about tidying; it’s about creating a lifestyle that feels lighter, more intentional, and easier to maintain, whether it’s in a bedroom, living room, kitchen, or workspace.
Decluttering can take several forms, depending on your home, lifestyle, and personal goals. Here’s a breakdown of styles popular in Australia:
Focuses on keeping only essentials
Prioritises open space and clean lines
Works well in modern, Scandinavian, or contemporary interiors
Tackle one area at a time (bedroom, living room, kitchen)
Prevents overwhelm and allows a clear sense of progress
Rotate items according to season (e.g., winter clothes stored in summer)
Ideal for wardrobes, outdoor furniture, and decorative items
Focus on specific item types: clothes, books, kitchenware, or décor
Useful for targeted organisation and when items feel overwhelming
