This book was laid out in a beautiful fashion. I loved the colour schemes and it had a lot of great insights on how to open up space.

Dilly Carter shares how clearing out your home of garbage and just lightening your space of things you don’t really need or want, you can get some sanity back in your life. Some mental clarity.

The author seems very sweet and likeable, but there was really nothing new for me in this book. If you have not read other decluttering books then this will be very helpful, I'm sure. There's a tinge of Marie Kondo and lots of basic stuff. Her basic how-to is to take everything out of the space, clean it, and then put it back in. Get rid of stuff that doesn't make you happy. Put things where you use them and group them together. Stuff like that. There are a lot of testimonials for her business, which is odd because it just made me want to hire her instead of doing it myself (and she lives in England, so that's not happening). I would have loved to have photos and illustrations, since I'm a very visual person. It's got good commonsense advice, but I can't think of a single bit that has stuck with me a week after reading it, unfortunately.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

In this Covid era of Kondoizing the home while in quarantine or working from home you will love these suggestions for minimizing clutter and maximizing space and comfort. Create Space has tips and diagrams to help in many organizing rituals such as folding and more.. This is a book that all home organizers will greatly enjoy implementing the suggestions and rituals from into daily life.

I like the idea of this book to help people organize their house. It's colorful and full of tips and tricks about how to keep things clean and organized. It talks about each room in a house in a way to help you think what you need, what you don't, teaches you how to fold clothes, and other tips. It doesn't have pictures so it's not really for me. For someone that is too busy to organize the house, she/he won't really want to read a lot. I think pictures plus the tips would have made this book easier to follow and more enjoyable. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review
