About this episode

Apologies for my slightly off voice in this episode—just as I was about to record, the cold/flu decided to make an appearance! But don’t worry, I’ve powered through to bring you this one.

Have you ever looked around your home and thought, Why does it still feel cluttered, even after decluttering? The problem might not be how much stuff you have—it could be your interior design choices!


In this episode of Get Organised with Decluttr Me, I’m breaking down the most common interior design mistakes that can make a home feel messy and unorganised. From overcrowding your space with furniture to choosing style over practicality, I’ll share practical solutions to help you create a home that’s both functional and beautiful.


In this episode, we’ll cover:

✅ Why too much furniture makes a space feel overwhelming (and what to do instead)

✅ How to style open shelving without it turning into a dumping ground

✅ The right way to use patterns without making a room feel chaotic

✅ The biggest decor mistakes that make your home look cluttered

✅ Smart storage solutions that blend seamlessly with your interior design

✅ Why practical choices matter just as much as aesthetics


Whether you’re in the middle of a home makeover, planning to refresh your space, or just wondering why your home doesn’t feel as put-together as you’d like, this episode is full of easy and effective fixes to help you create an organised and stylish space.
