Declutter Your Home in 7 Days: A Step-By-Step Guide to Home Organisation with O2B Organised

Feeling overwhelmed by clutter? You’re not alone. The good news is that tackling the mess doesn’t have to feel like climbing a mountain. With a clear plan (and a little help from a professional organiser), you can reclaim your space and peace of mind in just 7 days. This step-by-step guide from O2B Organised, Perth’s go-to home organisation service, will show you exactly how to do it.

Why Decluttering Matters

Clutter is more than an eyesore. It can impact your mental health, productivity, and even your relationships. By decluttering and organising your home, you’ll create a functional, refreshing space that promotes calm and clarity. Whether you need to clear out a single room or refresh your entire home, our guide will help you take that first step.

Your 7-Day Decluttering Plan

Day 1: Set Your Goals and Prep Supplies

Before you jump in, set a clear intention. What do you want to achieve? Is it a tidy kitchen? A serene bedroom? Or a streamlined wardrobe? Write down your goals and prepare the essentials:

• Boxes or bins for sorting (labelled as Keep, Donate, Sell, and Toss)
• Garbage bags for rubbish
• Cleaning supplies
• A timer (to avoid burnout)

Pro Tip: Break larger tasks into smaller ones. Instead of aiming to declutter your entire kitchen, start with one drawer or cupboard at a time.

Day 2: Start with the Easy Wins

Begin with the areas where clutter accumulates the fastest, such as your:

• Kitchen counter
• Bathroom sink
• Entryway table

Sorting through these high-traffic zones quickly builds momentum and gives you immediate satisfaction. Stick to the rule of thumb: if you haven’t used it in the past 6–12 months, it’s time to say goodbye.

Day 3: Tackle Your Wardrobe

Your wardrobe is full of potential, but unwanted clothes can take up valuable space. Here’s how to declutter like a pro:

1. Empty your wardrobe completely.
2. Sort into categories (e.g., tops, jeans, shoes).
3. Try the “joy test” — if it doesn’t spark joy or fit your lifestyle, donate or sell it.

Extra Tip: Invest in matching hangers and storage containers to organise your space effectively.

Day 4: Declutter Common Areas

Focus on your living room, dining area, and other shared spaces. These tend to be clutter hotspots with items like:

• Old magazines
• Random cables
• Toys and remote controls

Group similar items together and designate specific homes for frequently used ones. This makes it easier to keep these spaces tidy moving forward.

Day 5: Kitchen Clean-Up

Your kitchen deserves some extra love. Remove expired food, gadgets you never use, and stacks of unnecessary Tupperware. Keep your organisation simple by using:

• Clear containers for pantry staples
• Drawer dividers for utensils
• Hooks or racks for cookware

Having an organised kitchen can save time during busy mornings and make cooking far more enjoyable.

Day 6: Focus on Storage Spaces

Don’t forget your storage areas like the garage, linen closet, or attic. These spaces often house forgotten or unused items. Use an inventory system to log what you’re keeping and store items in containers or labelled bins.

Helpful Hint: If you haven’t accessed the items in your storage area for over a year, it might be time to reconsider their value.

Day 7: Add the Finishing Touches

With the heavy lifting done, it’s time to polish your work:

• Deep clean rooms to enhance the refreshed look
• Add personal touches, like artwork or plants, to make the space feel more inviting
• Set up a simple system to maintain your tidy home, like a weekly 20-minute declutter session

Congratulations! You’ve completed a full week of decluttering and given your home a beautiful new lease on life.
