Your decluttering journey
Imagine standing at the front door to your home and looking down the hallway. You know what is beyond that initial path. You know that your kitchen is covered in ‘stuff’. You know you don’t have a clear work surface. You know your cupboards are full to the brim and you don’t open them because everything is crammed in so tightly everything will fall out. You know that you’ve been looking for that tin opener for so long, but you’ve not found it, so you’ve brought another, which too has gone missing! You know that when you walk into your cluttered space that you will feel desperate, claustrophobic, overwhelmed and anxious, unable to think or focus.
You may have tried to declutter many times before, but each time you just stand there, paralyzed and not knowing where to start. Thoughts pop into your mind saying where do I start, what can I do, this is going to take forever, or I can’t do this!
But you can do this, you can get your space back. It isn’t hopeless, you can have that beautiful, clutter free space you want and deserve. This is where your decluttering journey begins.
Benefits of decluttering
There are many benefits of having a clutter free space, and no one is claiming that this journey is an easy one. It’s tough both physically and emotionally, but when you walk into your clutter free space, all those negative emotions will have disappeared.

How can I keep motivated to achieve these goals?
Decluttering and organising can be mentally challenging with so many decisions to make and physically with moving items around, you may find your motivation waning at points. When this does happen KE Decluttering will be with you and will help you remember why you are doing this.
