25 Things to Declutter Before 2025

[@shirleygermain5707]

We all need to stop listening to people who tell us what is in style. They are just selling you stuff. Be your own style. That is freedom.

My daughter is 8 months, and motherhood has really revealed the next layer of decluttering and minimalism for me. I’ve always been in a lifestyle of decluttering, but I’ve realized there’s an amount of inventory I was previously able to manage, but now it needs to be even less. The rule really is just keep decluttering, get rid of even more. This weekend’s realization: Declutter items that I put on when getting dressed but then take off for whatever reason. These are the ones that end up in a pile on the floor, not dirty but need to be hung up, and I just don’t have time for extra items to manage (:

I have reached the age where I know I physically won't be able to do as much around the house, while I can I am trying to declutter and future proof my house. I have completed the first wave, the obvious things that can go, next year I will be more focused and work my way through what is left. I know there will come a time when things will get more difficult for me, I need to be prepared.

Hey Elin, thanks for the reminder! You taught me not to buy a backup, especially not a backup for backup 😁 I've learned! My advice for the new year is to go through the kitchen and use up sauces, pasta, baking stuff etc. Saves money in January and liberates you immensely! Have a great Christmas and all the best for your family 🎄🦌🍪

[@bricknercj]

OMG, the oven mitt!! So guilty. 😆😆😆

[@GavelGuide]

Really helpful suggestions. Thank you so much. 😊

[@amandaclarke1373]

Hi Elin. Hope you are enjoying motherhood. We would all love to see your Christmas decor and Christmas tree in your lovely home. You always have such great taste ! Amanda x

[@annhunt2676]

HA!! The "backup" skinny jeans!! Yep, I have those.

[@Shiryone]

I'm definitely at the maintenance level of minimizing. I miss those big declutters.

[@angelasinyard3743]

I have lost a lot of weight, so I am very carefully picking out pieces that will work as a classic for work/ conferences. Most of the items I have decluttered..but great reminders ❤❤❤

[@rose2525bud]

You’ve been in my kitchen!!?? 😳 old oven mitts lol 😂

[@dianaw248]

Thank you Elin. I love your channel!

[@MayraSignorelli]

Simplifying shoes is a great space saving strategy

Great video thank you

All clothes I own fit and are in good repair, a lot is new

[@williamclark1244]

The company I work for is always gifting us items. I usually just put it back on the cart when no one is watching. My supervisor did give us mugs for the holiday loaded with Ghirardelli hot cocoa and other decadent items. I don't eat junk so I gave all the contents away to co-workers. I had downsized to having only two mugs at home so I gave myself permission to keep the mug. lol

[@jamiecorisis6122]

Time to declutter my broom! It’s my gross item to get rid of.

[@ZoeGraceeeee]

Woke up at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="680">11:20</a> made my coffee and instantly decluttered some to go containers - thanks Elin 😊

[@emilianodiaz-page4233]

Elin you gave me a chuckle when the smelly shoes came up 😂. I recently been putting away my and my husband’s shoes in temporary storage to make room for our boots for winter in our front closet. This is a perfect time to go through them and throw the ones that can go in washer( fabric runners) in washing machine and wipe down your leather ones. Then get rid off the ones we haven’t been wearing because they are uncomfortable or not desirable or just too worn out.

[@macthePA]

I literally burned my hands through an old oven mitt while baking today, that tip couldn’t have been better timed!

[@ElinLesser]

Oh gosh! Hope you’re okay!!

[@michellestmarentette.antoi5904]

I’ve spent my life decluttering to some extent. We start the way our family does then almost figure it out for ourselves. I have many a hobby. I love cleaning up after a project. I just keep thinking at least my space is not messy as my University studio was. I never leave any easy to throw away items out, trash etc. They at least go right away. I like to play your videos and tackle a spot in this multi room, maybe I’ll see the end.👍🏻🇨🇦

[@sct4040]

For smelly shoes, use baking soda. For sneakers, wash them, then air dry.

[@ElinLesser]

Love this tip!

[@michellegeorge4330]

Thank you ❤

[@patriciakumar115]

Elin, this is great advice! Thank you for pointing out these areas to declutter. It's been hard for me in the past to declutter certain items; however, as of late, I'm getting much better at it. My goal in the new year is to build on my new-found decluttering muscles. Wish me luck!

[@ElinLesser]

Good luck! You got this. 💪

[@williamclark1244]

Many of us have been there. It gets much easier over time. Soon you will be thinking 'why did I hang onto this for so long?'

[@robynwells8249]

I had two color analysis, and I’m a winter. Even as I have gotten older I wear a lot of black, so this suggestion I’ll skip but the others are great.

[@ElinLesser]

Makes sense! :)

[@donnarakitzis2719]

Good advice

[@lindabourketempleton4040]

I have elegant dresses for my cruise they will go after that including the suitcases

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

My problem is white t-shirts and tops. I just cannot find a white top that I love. Because they’re white they’re often see through or not thick enough.

[@pattysperfectday5397]

I just saw a video about this. They said that if you are getting a white shirt especially ordering white shirts online look to see if you can see the seam area along the bottom. If the bottom of the shirt looks like a different shade of white than the rest of the shirt, it is probably see through. Hope that helps.

[@lizzyp174]

That and the fact that white is so hard to keep clean is why I've given up on white anything

[@ElinLesser]

totally relate to this!

[@blue-dabad33]

depending on the fit of course, you could try shopping the men's section! Their material is usually not see-through in my experience

[@sophie.paludan.muller]

I am going to (try to) declutter ‘a negative body image’ and ‘being to harsh on myself’. And yes, the skinny jeans has to go!!😅

[@ElinLesser]

love it! :)

[@lindabourketempleton4040]

I have eliminated my wardrobe to necessities, I’m going on a cruise next year so have bought some new clothes for that I’m up to 104 clothing items including underwear and shoes
