My Collaboration With Sliderobes

In my collaboration with Sliderobes this New Year it was lovely to be invited to share my thoughts about decluttering and “letting go”.

Sliderobes has enjoyed great success as a specialist in fitted storage solutions in Ireland and the UK since 1983, and their approach to streamlined, organised, aesthetically-pleasing living is right up my street!

I created a series of blog posts for Sliderobes and one posts was about why I believe decluttering starts with the wardrobe. You can check it out below.

Why Decluttering Starts With The Wardrobe

I can’t stress the importance of wardrobe decluttering enough. Storing our most intimate secrets, fears, hopes and dreams, our wardrobes say so much about us. Reflecting our self-esteem, the state of our wardrobe shows the degree to which we’ve accepted change in our lives and how we feel about our current age, body, lifestyle and individual tastes.

Doing style talks with hundreds of women over the years, I recognised the great resistance around wardrobe decluttering, and this inspired me to create the Declutter Therapy™ ultimate wardrobe decluttering experience book and DVD. It’s really important that we declutter with the right information and mindset – otherwise it doesn’t really work. As an extension of this, it’s essential to learn to shop selectively so we can maintain our decluttered environment.

Interacting with the wardrobe multiple times a day, we can’t avoid a cluttered, disorganised closet – we simply have to get dressed in the morning. Usually in the room here we retreat, wind down and sleep, our wardrobe needs to be our friend. This is why, when embarking on a big clear out , I often recommend that clients start with the wardrobe. As this storage space is usually contained you can see results quickly.

Getting an honest hold of your personal style is one of the most empowering things you can do – no matter what your age, lifestyle, size or shape. The impact of a clutter-free, functional, organised wardrobe where everything fits and flatters is remarkable, and it gives people the confidence and motivation to declutter and organise other areas of their home and life.

In my unique one-day Decluttering Workshop on Saturday 21st February 2015 we focus on getting your wardrobe in order to benefit the rest of your home and life. Places are limited and bookings have already been taken. Find out more here.
