If you’re wondering how to declutter, well you’re not alone!
Recently, I had the amazing honor of being invited onto the set of Loving Living Local with Fox21 News in Colorado Springs to share a few decluttering tips and it was such a fun experience — and a reminder that so many people are craving practical, realistic guidance when it comes to organizing their homes.
Decluttering can feel overwhelming. Most people don’t struggle because they’re lazy or unmotivated — they struggle because they don’t know where to start.
So let’s start there.
3 Simple Decluttering Tips to Get You Started
1. Start Smaller Than You Think
Don’t start with your entire garage or basement. Start with one drawer. One shelf. One category.
Momentum builds confidence.
When you see progress in a small space, it becomes much easier to keep going.
2. Ask Better Questions
Instead of asking: “Should I keep this?”
Ask:
- How often do I use this?
- Does this serve my current lifestyle?
- Would I buy this again today?
The quality of your questions determines the clarity of your decisions.
3. Create Systems Immediately
Decluttering without creating a system is why many people end up back where they started.
Once you decide what stays, give it a defined home. Contain it. Label it if needed. Make it easy to maintain.
Organizing isn’t just about removing clutter — it’s about designing functionality.
Decluttering Looks Different for Everyone
In my eight years as a professional organizer serving Colorado Springs, Pueblo West, and surrounding areas, I’ve learned something important:
There is no “worst” space.
Every home has potential. Every person has different needs. Some clients want budget-friendly functionality. Others want a fully curated, elevated result.
And both are valid.
Through Grace to Organize, we focus on practical, heart-centered organizing support. Through Lux & Label, we offer a more design-forward, full-service experience.
But the foundation is always the same: thoughtful decision-making and systems that fit your real life.
You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
If watching the segment made you feel inspired but still unsure where to begin — that’s completely normal.
Decluttering can be emotional. It can be time-consuming. It can bring up unexpected resistance.
Sometimes having a professional organizer guide the process makes all the difference.
Whether you’re tackling a single pantry or preparing your entire home for transformation, support is available.
