The nice thing about spare rooms and similar spaces is that you can make things a bit of mess in there in the process of decluttering without it causing too big of a problem, in the short term, because no one is consistently using the room. Here's my instructions on how to declutter using 15 minute intervals, so you don't make too huge of a mess at one time, nor overwhelm yourself by biting off more than you can chew at once. ![]() It would be no different here in the guest room. Little At A TimeAs always, work 15 minutes at a time on the mission so you don't get overwhelmed.įor one thing, this is a task to declutter an entire room, so who would expect you to be able to do it in one 15 minute session?įor your own bedroom, and for those of your kids, I've got quite a few missions devoted to the task of decluttering it, including focusing in separate sessions on flat surfaces, under the bed, drawers, cubbies and shelves, and more. Therefore, clearing out excess clutter is one of the best ways to do this.ĭon't Make The Project Overwhelming But Instead Work On It A The trick is to figure out how to fit these dual functioning tasks into the space where they don't interfere with each other, which can be a bit of a challenge. ![]() Therefore, when you're decluttering make sure to clear out sufficient space for these activities to occur.įurther, if you use the room for other functions, you've got to think what items need to stay in the room there to allow those functions, such as a desk and file drawers, for example, if you want it to be a home office, or perhaps a sewing table if it's also your sewing room. This should also include some space in a closet for clothes, as well as drawers to store items. Of The RoomThe first thing you should do when tackling this type of project is to clearly think, in your mind, of how you already use the room, and how you want to use it in the future.įor example, for a room to be comfortable for a guest to sleep in, itt has got to have a bed, and plenty of space to hold luggage or other items guests have brought with them while traveling. Some of the most common dual functions for a guest room in a home include: That means when you work through this mission you've got to think about not only decluttering a bedroom but also some type of other space at the same time. ![]() If you have the luxury of having a spare room that guests can sleep in (and trust me, I know it's a luxury, I don't have one!) you probably don't have the luxury of using the room exclusively for when guests come over, but it often serves multiple purposes.
