Christmas is a joyous occasion for most families. It brings lots of laughter and cheer, exciting events and plenty of good food! It also brings with it a great deal of clutter – from decorations, greetings cards, wrapping paper, constant catering and the coming and going of excited guests bearing gifts! This could add up to a very cluttered home, especially if you’re currently living in a disorganised space.

My top tip to tackling Christmas clutter is to create a harmonious organised home long before the festivities begin. De-cluttering your home is a great thing to do as it helps you to reclaim lost space and it gives you peace of mind!

As part of your de-cluttering preparations for Christmas, try to concentrate on clearing out the old in anticipation of the new. Any clothes that have been outgrown and any toys that are no longer played with can be cleared out to make way for all the new presents your children are hoping to receive!

Try not to dwell on the past as you work through this exercise. This is especially important if you’re feeling guilty about wasted purchases that were never used or indeed needed. What matters now is the space you are reclaiming to create an organised, easy-to-manage home for Christmas and the future.

Here are two super tips to keep in mind: 

• Don’t try to tackle the entire house in one day. Split the work up into blocks of time, limited to a couple of hours, so you don’t get demotivated and frustrated!
• Get the whole family involved and delegate tasks so you can get the job done quickly and easily. Don’t be expected to do this by yourself, as most of the clutter will belong to other family members!

I hope you create a haven of peace and tranquillity so when the holidays arrive, you can relax and fully embrace the joy of Christmas!
