5 Phases for a Clutter-Free Closet | Declutter Tips

[@CassAbroad]

I still watch the 2012 Declutter series when I clean. I repeat less stuff less stress when am decluttering. It’s been a great mantra to remind me.

[@NehaBeauty]

I do too! At least once a year I watch it when I want to go through my whole house, it's amazing motivation!

[@chrisi8605]

Do you have a link to that? I’d love to rewatch it too!

[@bearchild4352]

That series was so impactful for me. It really was the start of me changing my life

[@deborarispoli]

So do i 🤍 best declutter series ever

[@EvaCZE08]

I watch it as well, it is great for motivation. I did love her army of tank tops lol

[@kristinburton4953]

I admire your minimal style Christine. I've never seen a woman decide not to have even one dress or skirt before! I like the way that you do you. Women use clothes for emotional fulfillment, but it's never ending. The less I think about clothes, the more peaceful I feel.🌼

[@sbazeghi]

So great to see your organization and declutter videos and yes, more please! :) You have always been my favorite from way back in the days of your "less stuff, less stress" videos! You were way ahead of the times with doing minimalism before it was a trend! Love and appreciate you Christine! xo

[@cherylmayers5394]

I just rewatched the "less stuff, less stress videos and I love them too!!!

[@sbazeghi]

Christine was the OG- always classic!@@cherylmayers5394

[@christinekobzeff]

Thank you so much for all of your support over the years, it means a lot to me! I know these little habits and mindset shifts have changed my life, it's exciting to see it working for so many others now too. And yes, absolutely I could do an entire new updated series of declutter/organizing/minimizing videos like these. 🥰

[@staceyv8754]

I totally agree!!

[@Love_Anne]

​@christinekobzeff Yes please!! I love all of your old cleaning/decluttering videos and miss them! Although I enjoy your new content as well. ❤

[@syedalmas97]

You wouldn’t believe that I literally started rewatching your decluttering series from 2012 last week! Love to see you continuing this.

[@marlenejohnston5472]

Yes, MORE decluttering videos please! So fun and motivating to watch! Thanks Christine!

[@Kate42]

I'm still watching your decluttering videos. My favorite is when you clean out your carport and the side of the house. It always inspires me to continue. Thanks, Christine.

[@zomgmolly]

I’ve been having a real rough time of it lately - your videos never fail to soothe my soul ❤️❤️ You’ve been one of my longest and most favorite subscriptions. Thank you for sharing your life with us, Christine. Your channel is my favorite internet safe space ❤❤❤

[@StarchWithPlants]

Something about her videos are so soothing!! I hope you feel better soon!

[@sitinie3217]

Love your decluttering videos so much, Christine! You explain things so thoroughly but not in an admonishing manner. It’s inspiring! Hope to see more of your lovely projects 🥰

[@sp6990]

Thank you for posting this! I’ve been following you since so foxy days and loved the decluttering videos. Helped me pair down so much. Still have a long road to go so loving the inspiration.

[@miriammiriam8875]

Hola Christine !😊, Thank you very much for your inspiring video. I see, I am not the only one who still watch your 2012 declutter serie videos. Love your clean and calm style...since years my inspiration!!😊😊❤❤

[@weehollie2]

I've always loved your style and colour choices! Seeing everything you own makes me so green with envy, but not envy in a negative way, envy in a productive way that makes me want to make some changes to my wardrobe 😄 Such a beautiful bedroom also, gorgeous!

[@vivian9803]

That sounds like admiration and motivation 😊

[@JazzyBabe56]

this was a lovely and calm video for doing something we all need to do.....also I find that these tips are very helpful for me.....I do tend to hold onto items because of good feelings associated with them - even tho I don't wear them anymore - so this reminded me that its okay to let them go....thanx for this! ♥

[@DC-ef8op]

Closet looks amazing!!!! I can't part with clothes like you can. :( Everything else yes, but clothes are so difficult for me to de-clutter.

[@pishi1990]

I’m so glad that I came upon your channel. It’s been extremely helpful and useful for me to Declutter based on your advice you make it very straightforward and easy to understand. Please keep making these videos. I won’t stop watching.❤❤❤

[@danaseger9876]

I found this video to be the most helpful closet declutter content I have ever watched- and I’ve seen a lot! Thank you so much for such quality content 💕

[@teresas5735]

One of the best decluttering methods that I've seen! Thank you for sharing this! ❤

[@sandramooso9400]

I remember watching your decluttering videos years ago and they were so enjoyable and inspiring. You have a calming affect on me. Your process of deciding on what clothes to keep or let go was very helpful.

[@sweetsaffronnaturalskincar471]

I have always loved your declutter videos Christine, been a sub since 2010! I was so excited to watch this one and of course decided to go clean out my closet. I'll be using your steps you explained so well. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos!

[@cynthialenz]

This was really well done and inspiring even for those of us who are not and never will be a minimalist.

[@StarchWithPlants]

That’s me! I love the idea but I am someone who counted over 60 tank tops last year!! I did declutter down to like ten now. But still!

[@marionannmacredie]

Do you have a video on what you wear? I think your style would suit my at home lifestyle. It’s beautiful! 💞

[@robertakeogh8650]

Yes, please, more decluttering projects.❤

[@Ivy285]

There's nothing more relaxing than watching Christine's videos. I have been a loyal follower for at least twelve years.

[@emanuelad3534]

I was really impressed… initially I thought that u have such a small closet and then I realized there were plenty of clothes, u did a great job!

[@theemarydee1610]

I, too, will go back to your first few declutter videos. The best part of them is your inner dialogue that you shared with us. You were frustrated then disgusted by all that you “collected”! You broke the internet and started others, including me, to let go of the madness of keeping all this stuff!!!

[@Dreaming0fSunshine]

Christine, this video was so calming and enjoyable go watch -Thank you for sharing ❤ I’ve always loved your decluttering videos. I need to go through my closet tomorrow, so I’m going to try this method 😊

[@golden-light-healing]

Love the 2-pile method in the beginning. I always have "hate it, bye" and "that's still good", even if I haven't worn it in 10 years 😬

[@StarchWithPlants]

My closet would have a big pile of what I don’t wear and a small pile of what I wear. I have heard of this and I should try it since my closet is packed!

[@lisadavis4279]

I like your process. Simple yet efficient.

[@libbylibbyloulalou4041]

I was in my early twenties in college and drowning in stuff. My family would make me feel so guilty for letting things go even if they had no use of anything I no longer wanted. I saw your decluttering videos, the “Less Stuff, Less Stress” series, and everything just clicked. I let go of most of my stuff and only kept what I loved, and I’m so thankful. My husband and I are more minimal and intentional with our belongings, and it’s made the biggest difference in terms of moving apartments, cleaning, and even what we purchase. I know this is a dramatic comment, but I am so thankful for your content and advice, and you inspired me to go vegetarian and cruelty free as well. Thank you for being you!

[@shawnasmith1799]

It would be great if you showed pics or clips of what it used to be like in your closet/bathroom for all the newbies!! I remember waaay back when with you girl! ❤

[@barbr100]

I loved this! I was surprised not to see any jeans, though.😜

[@sueo7834]

Thank you, this was great! I am sooo motivated to get stuck in to my already decluttered wardrobe....I am sure that I can reduce it by half again using your thinking 🤔..Great video....I think I will watch all your past videos now. 😃😃🥰

[@microems]

This is such a great idea! I definitely have way too many things I no longer use. Clothes, makeup, kitchenware 😣. Thanks for the tips!

[@MindOfMine.]

I loved this video! I used to watch all of your decluttering and minimalism video's. Not really into decorating, crafting and plants, so this is the content I really love to watch! And I love your personal style and way of talking, which make these video's perfectly satisfying. Thanks! ❤

[@klmjtr]

Yes I’d love to see more decluttering projects! 👍🏼

[@staceykersting705]

For the colder season, I had only black pants and jeans. I finally got some tan pants I'd wanted. I then divided my fall/winter stuff into stuff that wd go better with tan and things that wd def' go best with black. I have 2 very narrow closets, so now I can 'closet shop' in 2 dif spots. It's made things so much easier!

[@karenmadrigal3555]

I really enjoyed this video. I will be trying your method very soon. Thank you for your wonderful content💛

[@littlegreylogcabin]

57 items - wow! Very inspiring. Looking forward to diving into my closet this evening!

[@doraivanicsnepetras552]

Thank you Christine 😊 This blog was really help me to organise my closet wardrobe.

[@jenniferpearce777]

Hi Christine love watching your decluttering videos so different from years ago 😄 all the make up and trinkets love how you just ` that’s it ! It’s going ‘ specially back then, I take ages trying to decide do I don’t I and back in the wardrobe 🙈 will try again x have a wonderful weekend ❤

[@ines4242]

Hey Christine, I used to watch your old videos and now found you again. Wuite a bit hase changed. I would love to see your current makeup and nailpolish collection.

[@bandbporter]

I am pretty organized so I haven’t been too inspired by a decluttering video in a long time but I really like this method of dividing the clothes before we make decisions. I’m going to do my closet now!

[@jennesont4791]

I love how decisive you are. What about the items that are hard to replace that you may not have had the opportunity to wear last year? (Suits semi formal, extreme weather wear)

[@Ghlucy_lulu]

I miss your videos so much so helpful with decluttering and vegan information 💚💜🖤🧡

[@catgirldo7646]

This is so valuable. Starting tomorrow to declutter closets. Am looking forward to getting rid of a lot. Thank you for the much needed advice & encouragement.

[@chrisrances5871]

You're so good at letting things go! Thanks Christine! I've enjoyed your videos for a long time since you were in Maui.

[@missmarissaaa]

yes to more projects! i miss a lot of the old style videos esp the make up and body care recommendations and little DIY

[@lisapieper3598]

Very helpful! Thank you. I love your thought process! Glad to see you

[@thebipolargirl101]

I love how you have an all year around closet, I'm over seeing seasonal small closets that would actually be hugely full of similar stuff if all stored in one space there could be 10 similar black T-shirts like 3 for summer 3 for spring 2 for winter 2 for fall and realistically it could be cut by half if not more.

[@tschosy]

finally a real declutter where stuff gets actually thrown out =) really enjoyed. thank you

[@luisafoodadventure5294]

Thank you for this video. Best declutter video I have seen in a long time. I get demotivated early in my closet challenge and I just realized it is decision fatigue. T Early today I declutter my bags and although I eliminated some it still felt overwhelming. Now I know is because I did not really have tangible step. Did I use this bag in last year? Simple but brilliant. I was asking do I love it? Of course I love them. I bought them. They are beautiful. But i don’t use them. Some over 2 or more years. Some never used them because they are not practical. Mentally I was going through them in my head as you spoke and I surely I can go back and eliminate at least half of them. Will do that first thing tomorrow…follow your process.

[@joellen6105]

Yes, would love to see more like this. I think you are amazing and have followed you for years. You are so inspiring and gifted.'

[@j.c.1826]

Do you not own any skirts, jackets, dresses or jeans and slacks? I only noticed all kinds of sports wear. Or do you have another closet for those? Just curious.

[@christinekobzeff]

Hi J.C. Currently the only clothes I own are what's in this video. No skirts, dresses, jeans (except for jean shorts) at the moment. I wear shorts usually during the warm Spring, Summer and Fall seasons here, then leggings for Winter.

[@Thetinyfit]

That thumbnail is so satisfying. I def don’t have a super full closet, but I’m still trying to figure out what colors work best on me. So far I have black and green 😂. Happy Friday everyone!

[@Phelipagregori]

Tudo bem organizado e limpo! Excelente ❤

[@ew4182]

How fun to watch you do this! Yes, I'd like to see more decluttering videos! ❤ I love to declutter my closet too.

[@Tamara-gl5vk]

My first declutter round was huge. My 2e was big and the next ones are still bigger then I expect. If I knew when I was younger I defenetly would made sure I had a lot less items. Not nesesairly clothes but just stuff and sentimental items.

[@leastidyworld4365]

Oh my god, I remember 2012 or 2014 when I used to watch your decluttering videos. 🧡

[@Love_Gab]

It is inspiring always inspiring watching your videos. I wonder what you do with your clothes for disposal or where do you bring it.

[@liliensommer9477]

This is one of the best closet decluttering videos that I have ever watched and I have definitely watched more than a thousand - no exaggeration here😅 (they are my favs). It includes the best tips for the decluttering process and helps reminding oneself of why you don’t need to buy more clothes. And it is also very aesthetically pleasing to watch and I also like your calming voice☺️ Thank you so much for it! Btw, can you please do an updated skin (and hair) care video? The last one I found is already 3 years old😉

[@TanyaDuncan]

Thank you very much for keeping decluttering so simple. ❤

[@veldaneufeld5732]

Loved this video soooo much!!! More of these! They are inspiring!!

[@marylouschubert2974]

Very helpful! One of the best I’ve seen❣️

[@KellyB3]

Thanks for the motivation Christine.😊

[@jennaann5175]

I like your thought process.. I really need to do this. But I have about 10 times as much clothes as you 😜

[@margaretd2924]

I just love your decluttering videos! ❤

[@bex438]

Hi Christine, I came across your channel today & have subscribed as I really enjoyed your video, I'd love to see more decluttering projects 😊

[@annedugan-odonnell3134]

Great inspirational video. I like things neat and tidy but always think I might need something!!! Gave me some tips and motivation thank you!

[@zeninme7980]

Hi Christine! ❤ Ok..This was so good..I'm ready to place an order for your book! 📖 Hint! Hint! 😅 Luv ya!!!

[@asianangie7209]

Looked fine before but fantastic after!!! I hope the friendly Maui lady did not suffer any damage in the recent destruction. I hope all your friends in Maui are doing well.

[@oxymoira]

Very smart making the 1 and 2 piles !

[@Myaussiehome]

Can you show us how you fold clothes and towels? I also.loved your linen closet declutter video!!

[@deirdreedwards7267]

My favourite video Christine, thank you 💕

[@IniAngel]

I am always interested in your declutter Videos. Even this is far far faaaar away from my own Lifestyle. I Keep stuff in forever with choice. I know i 5 Years this Thing will be back in style or fit me sizewise better... i my climate we go from really cold to freaking hot and everything in between and you never know if you wear Thick sweater for 6 month or light sweater for 8 month 😄 i have around 50 sweaters and "need" them all 😄

[@simplytamara8081]

I love this type of video! Your method makes perfect sense to me! Thank you for helping me! I am inspired 💜

[@lolafalona6451]

I have just found your videos and I already love them. I need you to come to my house and de-clutter all my "stuff". My goal is to start living minimally. I have a long way to go. I have so much stuff.

[@missfreudiana1917]

This was soooo helpful and inspiring. Thanx😊

[@Ash.Marie.]

I really enjoyed the breakdown and explanations you gave for decluttering. I’m at the maintaining stage myself and will be trying your method on my next declutter. Thank you for the inspiration 😊

[@SometimeAgo65]

I admire you for being able to have less and just be clutter free. I always want to keep items and store them away in case I want to wear them again. I may do this one day though...it will be a big change for me 😊❤ I have about 12 coats and 15 jackets...you have one. See, that would be hard for me 😂❤

[@heidi_rico]

Christine I love your vids! You’re style is so cool and calm. Thank you! ❤

[@deana1892]

Missin’ watching your declutter video Christine 😍

[@SirtenlySurprized]

So inspiring! I will definitely be using your stages! Thank you.

[@Gloriaac21]

Great video! Your decluttering videos have been so inspiring over the years 🧡

[@TheCarlaProject]

hi christine what mic are you using? great video!!

[@libSta_OBX]

Good morning ☀️ I just found this video (first one of your channel) and so thankful that I have. Your voice is so soothing. I’m definitely going to subscribe. I know you are going to be an inspiration for me ❤😊

[@remainingembers]

Haha so many I thought "no that's cute keep it or give it a try". Thought that bright minty top would look great with white pants or shorts too. Personally, I keep old stuff that have some small holes just to wear around the house, for PJs, or for cleaning. I get attached and can't just toss quickly without thinking lol.

[@RachelTeeKae]

Wait… Do you have any photos of your wedding that you would share?

[@klmjtr]

Just found your channel. This is the best decluttering video I’ve ever watched. I’ve been meaning to do my closets and this video will be very helpful! Love the calm vibe too. Subscribed also and can’t wait to watch more of your content! Thank you 🙏🏼😊

[@karenherrera287]

Very useful video. Thank you 😊

[@jennv1018]

Can you please mention the brand of the winter coat I absolutely love the style 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕💕💕

[@sheilagaleano365]

Never heard of your phase 1 question before...... that will be the MOST beneficial to me..... just to see the 20/80 rule in real life in my closet. Wil help me be more objective : ) Alllll my closets are crammed..... now.... stay tuned : )) Thank you : )

[@cwalsh4992]

I love to watch every project you do so would love to see more ❤️

[@neimanfarkus9708]

The desert gets cold at night in the winter. Are those the warmest clothes you own? Nothing heavier than fleece?

[@LisaAnnConley]

Love these types of your ideas

[@ifkipling219]

For any clothing with tags past the return window--the store may still give you store credit to purchase something else instead.

[@GrandmaOfFour]

Thankyou Christine for this video I really enjoyed it.

[@aleta5842]

Hi christine, I've been watching your videos off and on for about the last 3 or 4 years and I was wondering if you still prefer cotton or natural Fabrics over synthetics?

[@jmecass]

Not sure if already said but Lulu will take back stuff with tags and give you a gift card I've heard. Even over the return period. Might want to try :)

[@LenaTurvey]

Loved your video, I also feel energised when I realise I can declutter a space, lol

[@g-yaya1305]

Hi Christine …I love watching your decluttering videos and I don’t know how you do It…I have a hard time with It and If that orange print shirt had a hole why not sew it and keep it If it was worth saving I mean. It’s what I usually do if I still want to keep something 😊 I definitely would’ve sewn it for you 🫶🏼
