I Asked a Professional Organizer How I Should Use the Thoughtful 'Strangers, Acquaintances, and Friends' Decluttering Method At Home

A living room with sofas on either side of the room and a coffee table placed in the middle. There is also a fireplace in the living room with a mirror above it. .

There's nothing quite like a clean-out and refresh before the busy holiday season, and when it comes to finding solutions for just that, it's at the top of my list. Often, we grow attached to items that may no longer serve us, and seeking out different methods to help us let go is a must. Lately, I've been applying something a little different to my decluttering routine, and it's all about the strangers, acquaintances, and friends’ decluttering technique.

Knowing how to declutter a home is one thing, but using the right technique is another. Applying this method to my space has helped me identify which items I love most, which items I no longer feel strongly about (but still use from time to time), and which items I've sadly left to gather dust.
