In American interior design, it is widely common to use dressers with a mirror and chest of drawers instead of traditional wardrobes which are capable enough to store items and save space. In general, chest of drawers and cabinets were invented in the 17th century by Nicholas Disbrow and his English mates. As moving their furniture to America caused problems, they decided to master the art of making small cabinets that сould store a lot.
In recent years, decluttering has taken center stage. There have been numerous methods proposed over the years, but the most popular so far has been developed by a Japanese interior consultant, author, and TV artist, Mari Kondo, also known as the KonMari method.
The KonMari method recommends six phases to declutter and organize your home:
- Take the time to tidy up your house,
- Visualize the perfect interior for you,
- Organize the space by categories, not the location,
- Dispose of the things you don't use anymore․
Try following the rules and see if you become happier.
The principle lies in creating a space where everything, including furniture, home décor, etc. is in harmony. When you keep an item in your hands and it does not arise pleasant feelings, then you have to get rid of it. The second essential principle is about saving space in the room.
The advantages of the KonMari methods:
1 . Helps organize the house forever. When you've cleaned your house thoroughly, Marie Kondo believes you can get rid of unnecessary things all at once, so you don't have to spend time and effort keeping order.
2 ․ Helps to organize items according to their designated places, from where it is easier to find later
- Things are arranged strictly in accordance with where they belong, for example, linen with linen, books with books, documents with documents.
