A mum who has done a major clear-out of her home getting rid of more than 3,500 items has shared her decluttering tips to help others lead a 'minimalist lifestyle'. Casey Jones, a mum-of-two, decided they didn't need everything they owned and wanted to reduce the amount of clutter in the house - attempting to cut their possessions by 50 per cent.
The 36-year-old and her husband, Jason, also 36 and a project manager, cleared sentimental decor from their wedding day, their children's toys, and left the family with just four plates. She initially started selling their unwanted items to clear their debt but then ended up donating things to charity that they realised they no longer needed.
The family of four now keep only the essentials, with just four plates and four coffee mugs. Casey has ditched 3,000 household items and over 562 kitchen items and uses a clothes hanger hack each year to organise her wardrobe.
