Is It Time To Declutter?

Property

The rise of social media has significantly influenced the trend of home organisation, and has transformed it from a chore into a popular lifestyle living trend. Instagram and Pinterest have become hubs for sharing hacks, organisation tips and home aesthetics. The visual nature of these platforms allows users to see the immediate impact of decluttering or organising a space.

This trend has also fuelled demand for professional organisers and decluttering specialists, as homeowners seek to recreate the sleek, minimalist designs often seen online, showcased by home organiser influencers. As a result, home organisation has shifted from a practical necessity to a sought-after element of modern day living.

Clearing the way for your property move

That being said, decluttering and organising your home is more than just tidying up. It’s about creating a space that works for you. If selling your home, it plays a large role in how it is presented to prospective buyers. Whether you’re looking to refresh your space for long-term living practicality or are in fact looking to sell your home, decluttering offers multiple benefits that go beyond ‘Instagram aesthetics’.

Selling a home is as much about creating the right feeling as it is about the right price. We’ve teamed up with professional declutterer and organiser Francesca Harrison of ‘Your Tidy Space’ to help clients do just that. As part of the partnership, clients who instruct us will receive five free hours of decluttering with Francesca, posing an opportunity to refresh their space before listing.

Decluttering isn’t just about making things look nice, it’s about creating an environment that feels calm and functional. Francesca, who studied Psychology at university, understands how our surroundings influence our mindset.

Francesca Harrison – Decluttering Specialist

“When working with clients, my focus isn’t just on aesthetics but on what works for their lifestyle. A fresh perspective can make all the difference.”

Francesca is already familiar with the world of estate agency, having previously worked in our Farnham office as a weekend viewings assistant. This gives her an added advantage in helping sellers prepare their homes for photographs and viewings, ensuring they make the best possible first impression.

If you’re thinking about giving your home a seasonal refresh, Francesca has a few simple tips to get started:

Make a plan

Tackling clutter room by room makes the process more manageable.

Start small

Begin with a single drawer or cupboard rather than an entire space.

Ask the right questions

Do you use it? Do you love it? If not, is it worth keeping?

Rethink your storage

Clever storage solutions can help maintain order long-term.

A well-presented home doesn’t just help with selling, it can transform how you feel in your space, and sometimes, an outside perspective is all you need!
