Declutter To Sell: Room By Room (Part 2)

I walk you through a practical, room-by-room approach to getting your home ready to sell. Building on last episode’s “why” of decluttering with realtor Ty Mitchell, I focus here on the “how.” I start in the living room, where I suggest removing excess furniture, taming remotes, and minimizing knickknacks so the space feels open and bright. In the kitchen, I clear countertops and reduce cabinet contents to create the impression of abundant storage. Bedrooms become hotel-like retreats with simple, light bedding and nearly bare nightstands, while bathrooms are stripped of personal items and styled with fresh towels and greenery. Closets get a “boutique” makeover by packing away about half the contents.

In the second half, I coach my longtime friend Patricia through managing a cluttered home with a “collector” husband, emphasizing starting with her own belongings, organizing neutral zones, and containing collections rather than confronting them.
