Free designer checklist

Stop clutter before it starts

8 questions to ask yourself before you buy anything for your home — so you can avoid impulse purchases, waste less money and choose pieces you'll actually want to keep.

The easiest time to deal with clutter is before it enters your home. This quick checklist helps you pause before you buy and decide whether something really deserves a place in your space.

  • Work out whether you're buying a genuine solution — or simply another beautiful object.
  • Check whether it has a clear place in your home and works with what you already own.
  • Spot the purchases you're making because of a sale, trend or impulse rather than because you truly need them.
