Downloadable Declutter Checklist for a Clean, Calm Home: Room-by-Room Breakdown

Clutter has a sneaky way of creeping into our homes and turning even the coziest corners into chaos. But here’s the good news: getting organized doesn’t need to be overwhelming. All you need is a clear plan—and this is where your new best friend, the declutter checklist, comes in.

This isn’t just a cleaning to-do list. It’s a home refresh roadmap designed to help you create calming, joy-filled spaces one room at a time. So grab a trash bag, a donation box, and your favorite playlist. Let’s declutter with intention (and maybe even a little fun!).

  • Organize cords and tech gear

  • Dust surfaces + fluff pillows for an instant refresh

✅ Final Tip 1: The 15-Minute Rule
