Sort your SPACE

With spring upon us, it's the perfect time to clear the clutter and make way for a fresh start

Clothes, paperwork, books, and stuff... it gets everywhere, doesn't it? It's no wonder we struggle to find a place to store it all. That's where a good clear-out comes in. By getting rid of items we don't want and no longer use, we can make room for the new and make some extra cash. In fact, a recent study reveals that, on average, we can make £25 a month from selling our unwanted possessions*.

1. KEEP OR CLEAR? 

Whatever aspect of your home you're tackling, the basic rules apply to each item: do you love it, wear it, need it or use it? Professional organiser Vicky Silverthorn says to ask yourself, 'Can I live without this?' throughout the clearing process. 'You'll be surprised how powerful that question is,' she promises.
