MY BEST HOME ORGANISATION TIPS FOR 2025

I always like to see January as a full reset post Christmas, and a great time to set solid organising intentions for the year ahead. January can be a bit of a shock to the system, after the festivities, but it just makes me want to approach the change even more (and for the better!).

Although January and February are some of my busiest months workwise, as a home organiser, I say no to a lot more social occasions. Instead I spend more time at home, especially on the weekends, so organising a drawer or two, can be factored into my day. Taking more time at the start of the year also helps to stop the guilt that may appear later on in the year about being more sociable and having less time to focus on my home.


To help you off to a good start this year, here my top home organisation tips for 2025:


  • Declutter first

  • Don’t get caught up in the sales

  • Use the one in, one out rule



Tip 1: Declutter first


If I was to suggest just one step to organise your home for the better, it would be to always prioritise decluttering if you’re strapped for time. The best time to do this is now, in January, when we have more mental bandwidth to make decisions more easily. Another great time is to organise when you are moving home, or even looking to renovate. You won’t want to take with you chipped crockery or old tins of paint that don’t serve you anymore, so even if you’re not moving home, you could apply this theory to your decision making.


Tip 2: Don't get caught up in the sales


Black Friday may be behind us, but we all know it can also be hard to say no to another round of big offers in January. So often, it’s the items a client bought on sale that are the first to be culled. They were usually impulse purchases that they never really needed in the first place. Impulse buys appear mostly in kitchens and are bulky items like juicers which after one or two uses, often don’t get used again and just take up valuable surface space, getting covered in dust. Can you borrow a juicer from family or a neighbour and see if you do use it? A lot of people (naturally) give up after a few goes as there’s so much cleaning up to do after.


Tip 2: Follow the one in, one out rule


If you’re attempting to organise your wardrobe, well done, it’s one of the biggest jobs in the home. Personally, I find the challenge comes after the decluttering and organising has finished. It’s maintaining the space and making sure it stays neat and tidy and more importantly, accessible. Organising your wardrobe will help you see items you tend to overbuy which will help you buy more mindfully. A really simple rule to follow is, for every item of clothing you bring in, swap one out. And for the more daring amongst us, I challenge you to swap two items for every new piece of clothing you add to your wardrobe.

Keeping your living space organised can make a huge difference, not only in how you manage your belongings, but also in boosting your mood and productivity. I know it can feel overwhelming to get started, so start your decluttering journey when you have the headspace to do so and remember, it’s not something you have to tackle alone.

Together, we can clear the clutter and find smart ways to make the most of your space, boosting productivity and bringing you peace of mind.
