When I first heard about the dissolving caterpillar decluttering method, I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. But the more I read, the more it seemed to chime with something I’ve been quietly working on this year: rethinking my relationship with the things I bring into my home.
I had a bit of a lightbulb moment towards the start of 2025. I realised that so much of what I’d accumulated over the years wasn’t really adding anything to my life – in fact, it was just taking up space, physically and mentally. Since then, I’ve put some of the most popular decluttering methods to the test, in a bid to cleanse my home and streamline its contents so they feel more aligned with – well, me.
