How to declutter your home when your family isn’t on board – 7 ways to boost motivation

Three image split of mudroom, kids room and dining table.

We’re not expecting them to jump at the chance, but decluttering your home when your family isn’t on board at all is a challenge. It doesn’t mean you’re destined for a disorderly home,  there are ways around it, but you’ll need to tread carefully if you want to keep the peace. 

The simplest solution is to just declutter around your family, rather than with your family, right? Perhaps, but you’re setting yourself up for hard work, and your little ones won’t love you for it in the long run. You’re much better off playing the long game and encouraging your family to declutter with you. While nagging is tempting, there are more productive ways to do it, and you’ll wind up with a happier home life, too.
