Decluttering

[Talland 2016]

I'm planning on being very brave (or very silly) and want to totally declutter my bedroom including toiletries,make up and clothes.
I've lost 4st over the last 2 years so the plan is to ditch all of my larger clothes so I will never fit them again. Also I seem to have make up from all ages some of which has got a bit caked and I'm sure is past its best
So far I have got as far as buying some new non slip hangers from Primark.
With clothes I'm planning on changing which drawers etc I keep items in .
I'm considering storing T shirts etc in a 'rolled' form.
I know when I was looking at packing cubes someone posted a link to a lady's tutorial on folding & storing etc but I can't remember her name
Any ideas?

It was probably Marie Kondo.

Her name is Marie Kondo. I use her method of rolling my socks - it's great as I can see immediately all my socks at the same time now.

Good luck with the clear out!

Thanks for the replies
Yep that's the name
Think the plan will be to tackle my wardrobe first then a drawer at a time
May resort to a few clothes piles on the floor until have decided which drawers to put what in
Must stop dibbing and start again
Dustmen due tomorrow

I watch so many decluttering videos on YouTube it's really useful!

I fold my tshirts Kondo style. It makes choosing what to wear much easier.

Well so far I have done socks drawer & underwear drawer
Did I really need 30 pairs of socks?

[Pumpkin Pie]

No but it's not easy to just throw things out is it. Decluttering always takes me far longer than I think it will.

When we redecorated our bedroom it seemed like a good idea to pull out the fitted wardrobes.

However it was the best thing we did as that was our opportunity whilst everything was dumped all over the place to declutter. My god we had tons of stuff for the charity shop.

I started decluttering using the Marie Kondo method at the end of January. I’m still going through the process. To do it properly, it takes a long time but it’s so worth it. It’s taking me far, far longer than I expected but goodness, it really is incredibly worthwhile. I would add that we’ve gone a few years without decluttering and have lots of cupboards and drawers to ‘hide’ things in! So... the house looked very tidy but behind the closed cupboard doors, everything was full!
