Interior Designer Sarah Williams Provides Decluttering Tips Before the Holiday Season

COLUMBIA, SC, October 28, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ — The holidays are a time for celebration, but they can also be a time of stress and overwhelm. With all the shopping, cooking, decorating, and socializing to do, it’s easy to feel like you’re losing control. Forbes recently found that decluttering your home can give your brain an instant therapeutic boost.

When your home is cluttered, it creates a sense of overwhelm and chaos. This can make it difficult to focus, relax, and feel in control of your life. Additionally, clutter can be a visual distraction, making it difficult to concentrate on tasks.

Sarah Williams, an interior designer and founder of Locke Interior Design agrees that decluttering your home can have a positive impact on mental health, your relationships, and your life. “

“When you declutter your home, you’re not just getting rid of physical clutter,” she says. “You’re also getting rid of the mental clutter that comes with it. Decluttering can help you to feel more in control of your life and more at peace with yourself. It’s time we romanticize the small aspects of life that allow us to be present and feel at peace. Something as small as decluttering and lighting a candle can create a small moment where you can create refuse during one of the busiest times of the year. Your home should be your sanctuary, and that starts with a clear space and clear mind.”

Studies have shown that simplifying your home can have a number of benefits for your mental health, including:

Reduced stress and anxiety
Improved mood
Increased self-esteem
Better sleep quality
Improved focus and concentration

The study found that homeowners who simplified their homes reported feeling less stressed and anxious, more in control of their lives, and more able to focus on their children. They also reported having more time and energy for themselves and their families.

So how can you begin to simplify your home and your life?

Declutter your home. Get rid of anything that you don’t use, need, or love.
Create a system for organizing your home. This could involve using baskets, bins, and labels to keep everything in its place.
Establish routines for cleaning and tidying. This will help to reduce the amount of time you have to spend on housework each day.
Don’t just put it away, discard it. If something isn’t actively used, it needs to be discarded.
Make sure your home is a space where you can relax and recharge. This could involve creating a cozy reading nook, adding plants, or playing calming music.

Simplifying your home can take some effort, but experts agree it is worth the effort and can have massive impacts on mental health. By creating a space that is calm, comfortable, and supportive, you can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and improve your overall well-being.
