Clutter quotes are fantastic ways to give perspective on all that “stuff” that so easily accumulates in your home AND life. They can be a great way to focus your mind on the clutter, motivate you to start decluttering, and so much more. Here are my top 10 clutter quotes to give you a little inspiration for whatever clutter you have to deal with at the moment.
I am slightly addicted to a good quote. Finding the right one seems to speak to me in a way that other things don’t.
They allow me to think about things differently, and see them from another perspective – which I love!
As such, I wanted to look specifically at clutter quotes today, and give my Top 10 quotes about clutter that I’ve found over the years.
These are the ones that have really resonated with me and I hope they’ll do the same for you.
So – I’ve shown them all below – and I’m sure you’ll find at least one of them quite inspirational in terms of how you see your “stuff”.
These will come in useful for motivation and inspiration if you want to start decluttering and getting things in order: –
“Clutter is anything that doesn’t belong in a space – whether it belongs elsewhere in your home or it doesn’t belong in your home any longer” – one from me from Clutter:Sorted!
“Keeping baggage from the past will leave no room for the happiness in the future” – Wayne L. Misner

Hi Sarah – there are some great ways to get started on this blog – including the 30 day free decluttering challenge (found on the front page of the site), or the more detailed eBook and eCourse – (take a look at my shop for more details). However, if you need hands on help, then give this page a look as it lists the associations for each country that has registered declutterers that can help – organisemyhouse.com/need-help/
Excellent quotes. I’m not having any luck figuring out who said ths, but this is an excellent explanation of the difference between organized and disorganized people: “An organized person puts things away. A disorganized person sets things down.”
