    Every country seems to have massive houses/apartments compared to the UK. My “clutter” is my craft materials, but I live in a tiny house with no built in storage and only room for essential furniture. One advantage though is cutting down on buying things. I have one all purpose household cleaner which cuts down on a cupboard full of products. I also multi task with my floor mop. It’s got velcro pads which you can attach dusters, e-cloths and floor pads to. I use it for floors, bathroom tiles, windows and doors.

    My story is my parents had a garage filled with stuff. The entire two car garage was filled head deep. As a teen I started decluttering my space and influenced my parents to do the same. Later I married a minimalist husband so all my married life I didn't have that much stuff. My parents too have a lot less than back in the day.
