It's that time of the year again when people look forward to a fresh start, and want less stuff around their homes and work spaces.
The year 2019 saw a rise in space decluttering trends thanks in part to the Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, a show which featured ways to get rid of clutter and popularized the "KonMari" method, and the morbidly sounding cleaning method "Swedish death cleaning" which is based on a book written by Margareta Magnusson.
In a UCLA Center on Everyday Lives and Families (CELF) study shared by Houselogic, it found that clutter greatly affects the mood and self-esteem of a person. Consequently, decluttering provides benefits that are crucial for a person's mental wellness. In an article written by Alice Boyes for Pschology Today, she listed six benefits of decluttering, including anxiety and tension reduction, and improved confidence and self-efficacy.
There is no slowing down the organizing and decluttering trend as the year 2020 begins. Home organization products' sales are projected to grow nearly $20 billion by 2021 according to an article provided by Packaged Facts. Here are home and office organizing trends to look forward to this year and for the years to come.
Modular & Space-saving
In a survey conducted by by Offers.com, it listed the top items used for decluttering projects which include bins and containers (44%), shelves and racks (16 %) organizers and dividers (14%), boxes (11%), storage furniture (8 %) and hangers (5%). Furthermore, it added that sentimental items, papers, clothing, toys and leisure items, books and electronic products were the main source of home clutter. The decluttering trend has led to 64 percent of surveyed participants to say that they would shop less or more mindfully.
Instagram-worthy
The web does not just provide articles on how to declutter homes and offices, but it's also turning into a platform for users to show off their Instagram-worthy cleaning and organizing snaps, or build a following by showcasing their decluttering ideas through photos just like the users featured in this article by TLC.
Minimalist
Minimalism is based on the philosophy that less is more. Although not a new concept, more and more people, especially millennials, are picking up on this trend and seeking out a minimalist lifestyle.
Multipurpose
Multi-use storage products makeit easier for people to declutter and find what they are looking for faster. Some products offer multiple compartments while others feature portability and folding capabilities.
