Cory always recommends people start by de-cluttering their home before they move on to reorganising it.<\/p>\n<p>The first step to making the most of your living space is almost always to keep it tidy and reduce clutter. So, where to start? Cory suggests you should \u2018start with what you see\u2019. When decluttering, Cory recommends starting with the floors, before moving onto the surfaces and eventually leading onto cupboards, drawers or things like magazine racks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll experience more satisfaction &#8211; and enjoy the results of your efforts much sooner &#8211; by starting with what you see&#8221;, says Cory.<\/p>\n<p>Start today and see if you can feel lots better by the end of it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>And then There Was Light!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let as much light into your living room as you can \u2013 you might not believe it but it\u2019ll make such a difference to how spacious the area looks.
