Decluttering Task #36
Lounge Room
My lounge room is my space to relax! Whether I’m binge watching my favourite Netflix shows from the lounge, or having a cuppa with my beautiful dog Zoe, I always feel more zen when the lounge room is clean and clutter free.
Despite my best efforts, my Zoe girl loves to lay on the couch, and if we happen to leave cushions or blankets on the couch she lays on top of those too. Instead of getting rid of my cushions (I could never get rid of Zoe!), I picked up this basket from Ikea to hold all our cushions and blankets in. Now we just pull them out as we need them.

TODAY’S TASK: PURGE AS MANY ITEMS FROM YOUR LOUNGE ROOM AS YOU CAN
Note: My definition of purge – sell, donate, repurpose or throw away items as you see fit
- Look at your lounge room and see what storage solutions aren’t working.
- Remove everything from the lounge room, grouping like items together.
- Determine what items you haven’t used in over 12 months and consider purging them.
- Determine what items should actually live elsewhere and remove them.
- Add any new and/or current storage products to your lounge room to help you keep it organised (I love my 2 slot Remote Control Holder Organiser – it’s currently out of stock, but you can join the waitlist here).
- Place items you don’t use often in your TV cabinet draws, or on high shelves.
- TIP: Kids toys can very quickly make a lounge room cluttered! Check out my blog ‘How To Get Kids To Clean Up Their Toys‘ so that your not the only one left trying to keep the lounge room clutter free and in order.
