Declutter that mess!

Chinese New Year is creeping close. It is tradition that we take time to declutter the mess in our house to welcome the new year.

Since the 2010, I have resolved to stay clutter free and I’m glad I did.

These are some fabulous webby to help you with clearing the mess in a meaningful way:

Books: www.secondhandbooks.com.sg - a fantastic site to swap or sell your books.

Electronics: www.ragnbone.com.sg - get cash for your electronics, even if they don’t work.

Clothes and Others: www.ebay.com.sg - one of my favourite sites to sell my clothes. But don’t everybody know about this site already?

Some tips on keeping things minimal and brighten up the living space:

1. Keep photos in its digital format. If you need to display them, choose one or two to print. Ikea has a great picture flip frame that helps display 10 pictures.

2. Place mirrors in a strategic place in the room. It helps to brighten the room by reflecting more light (from the lamp or the sun).

3. Put items in acrylic boxes or folders to keep a clean line of vision. I place all my tiny items like jewellery and keys in acrylic boxes produced by Muji.

Have fun de-cluttering!
