Spring Declutter Challenge: Week 4 Task 3 – Hobbies & Decor Overhaul

Spring Declutter Challenge – Week 4 Task 3: Hobbies & Decor Overhaul

We’re at the finish line of our Spring Declutter & Downsize Challenge! And today is all about getting honest with the stuff that once brought joy… but now might just be collecting dust.

Why This Area Matters?

Hobby supplies and home décor often sneak up on us. A shelf here, a bin there—before we know it, we’re storing entire hobbies we haven’t touched in years or seasonal items we no longer even like.

This type of clutter is especially important to address if you’re thinking about downsizing or moving soon. It adds bulk to your space without adding real value.

Your Declutter Task

Today’s mission is to go through:

• Craft supplies

• Hobby equipment (tools, gear, collections)

• Seasonal or outdated home décor

• DIY projects that never quite got finished

Ask yourself:

• Do I really still enjoy this activity?

• Would I take these items to a smaller home?

• Is this item inspiring—or overwhelming?

Quick Tips for Decluttering Hobby & Decor Items

1. Keep only what you use and love – Not what you used to love.

2. Set limits – One bin per hobby or season helps keep things manageable.

3. Donate with purpose – Schools, seniors’ groups, and shelters often love gently used craft or decor items!

 Downsizing Insight

As we prepare for smaller, simpler living, it’s okay to let go of old hobbies or decorative items that no longer reflect who you are now. You’re not “quitting”—you’re making space for what matters most.
