I tried the extreme Minimalists' ‘Packing Party’ decluttering method and loved it – my kitchen is now streamlined and 10 times more functional

A large pile of brown moving boxes and a houseplant in the middle of a naturally lit open floor space with wood floors and white walls, no furniture.

As a result, I was always running out of space, and clutter only made things harder. I needed to take drastic action.
