This is a really good book. My one gripe with it was an over-abundance of religious references (honestly do you really think that God is micro-managing your closet or bedroom?) but i was able to skip past those and focus on the main message of not holding on to things just in case. I actually found myself stopping in the middle of the chapter and going to put stuff in donation box that i've been holding on for a while. The idea behind it is great.

Even though I have read a few books about decluttering, I still got a lot out of this book. It's a nice length book, and straight to the point. Lots of check lists that will be very useful.

This is the second book by Lipp about clutter that I have now read. It exists to teach us what clutter is, why we have it, and how to get rid of it. Although it was filled with a lot of great tips, I didn’t feel like this book taught me anything new that I didn’t already read in Lipp’s other book, Clutter Free. I did appreciate that this book had examples of how each room in your house could be used for and then had workbook style pages at the end of each chapter so you could write your own ideas and wishes for the rooms in your house. Long story short, I want to be clutter free and reading this book helped me remember that I need to start trying to declutter again!

I desperately need to declutter and pounced on this book. Read quickly, and easily in one sitting, I very much enjoyed the writer's voice and style. Lots of good ideas and advice, that I plan on taking.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a good easy read book on de-cluttering and loving your home. The author takes the 60% de-cluttered approach to define your accomplishments which is refreshing as it doesn't have you reaching for perfection. This must be more reachable than trying to do it all at once. I like the authors style and the book was easy to read with each room of the house addressed separately. Even if you don't follow the methods exactly you will definitely be inspired to make a start on your own home.

I really enjoyed Clutter-Free Home. I appreciated how show broke down each room into easy declutter sessions, and forced you to sit and think through the purpose for each room.

I voluntarily read this ARC for an honest review - all thoughts and opinions are mine

I thoroughly enjoyed this

I liked the way each room was dealt with one by one and the inclusion of an area to put your own ideas etc makes the reader take ownership which I thought was a great idea

Lots of very sensible, down to earth ideas. I shall certainly be putting her advice into practice

This is a great book on decluttering. I liked her 10 principles to a clutter free home. Hey ideas were to dedicate each room for certain activities, decide how we want the rooms to feel based on our 5 senses, declutter, do your thing (create the house you want room by room), Then she takes up through each room. I think this book will definitely help me get my house where I want it to be as we become empty nesters.

I enjoyed this no not now nonsense approach. Nothing fancy just a clearly defined approach to find balance and purpose for the the nags you own and reasons why we should reflect n why we have it and should we keep it. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
