Sort Your Life Out’s professional organiser Dilly Carter advises on where to start – and how to stick at it
Conduct a space audit – walk all the way through your home, writing notes as you go. Notice what you like, what you don’t like and what you could change. In the front room you might love the colour, but hate the bookshelf full of toys. If you got a better bit of furniture to hide them, in the evening you could kick back and relax without looking at them. Or perhaps you always put the washing in the front room when you have a spare room upstairs, or maybe there’s an occasional chair that’s huge, and nobody sits on it, so get rid of it to make your room feel more spacious.
