30 Small Decluttering Projects That Make a Big Impact

“Decluttering and organizing under the kitchen sink will provide daily benefits since the kitchen is such a high-use space,” says Michele Vig, founder and chief organizer at Neat Little Nest. To keep this area tidy, stow the items that you use on a regular basis, such as dishwasher tabs and sponges, and relocate all other items to a closet or garage shelf.

Craft supplies can quickly get out of hand in a home with young kids. Stow all the crayons, glue sticks, scissors and construction paper in labeled bins, and designate a craft shelf that all members of the family can reach. Michele Vig of Neat Little Nest points out that organizing craft supplies can also prevent duplicate purchases.

If you’re constantly searching for kitchen utensils in cluttered drawers, tidy up your drawers with customizable inserts. “Customizable drawer dividers allow you to use every inch of space,” says Michele Vig of Neat Little Nest.

If your pantry shelf is littered with orphan tea packets and half-empty boxes of tea, consider giving them a drawer of their own. Use dividers to categorize your teas and prevent clutter. “An organized tea drawer maximizes horizontal space and makes it easy to see your full portfolio of flavors,” says Amy Bloomer, owner of Let Your Space Bloom.
