Your home and the objects you surround yourself with reflect many aspects of your life. They're also a mirror of your inner self- and while personal mementos have a place in any room, living in a cluttered environment could be having a negative impact - for example, you may feel stuck in a rut and find it hard to embrace change.
Letting go of things with a good declutter is a cathartic process that can give you a new-found clarity. Having a comfortable, organised space around you is, without doubt, key to feeling relaxed, positive and energised. Here's how to reap the rewards of a home that works better for you practically, emotionally and spiritually.
