  • Mine is small too. Can you share a photo? Just take items out of the room that dont belong there in the first place will make the room feel less closed in. You can try rearranging the furniture or even eliminating some furniture and use in different rooms.

    Declutter your room, just keep saying to yourself "less is more", while you remove the things you no longer love or that fit into your new decor plan. Improve storage by cleaning drawers and closets to make room for the things that need to be put away. When working with a client I keep a cardboard box available for donations, a bag for trash. I get that box into the car ASAP and go through the local non-profit drive-thru.

    Decor wise, keep your colors light and monochromatic to fool the eye into thinking the room is larger. You might want to get some new furniture in a smaller scale that works better in your smaller room.

  • Hi Kiwanna - This is one of my favorite articles on cleaning, organizing and decluttering. It really breaks down the steps of the process, and even includes an interview with TV show Hoarders star Matt Paxton. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

    I would try to make piles of things you want to keep, discard, and donate. Then you can start to organize the things you are keeping

    Maybe go through and get rid of things that you may not need. My rule of thumb is if I have not used it, wore it, etc. after a year it gets donated!
