Decluttering: From Chaos to Calm

In today’s fast-paced world, clutter has become an almost inevitable byproduct of modern living. From our homes to our digital lives, the accumulation of things often feels overwhelming. Yet, the act of decluttering - an intentional process of eliminating unnecessary items; has gained popularity as a way to reclaim space, clarity, and peace of mind.

Decluttering isn’t a new concept. Historically, it was driven by necessity, especially as the average family lived in small yet functional homes with limited storage spaces, adopting a minimal and practical lifestyle, often owning only what they truly needed. Over time, the Industrial Revolution opened the floodgates of mass production, making consumer goods more accessible and affordable. By the mid-20th century, the rise of consumer culture led to homes becoming filled with an abundance of items. Most often than not to the point of excess.
