2. Declutter (Image 2 of 11)
George says: 'It's a bit of a house doctor's tip, but get rid of as much stuff as possible. I'm always amazed how much we hoard, but we could all get rid of a lot of stuff, easily. Doing so clears the mind as well as creating space. When we go to a house to do a renovation for The Home Show, we clear everything out, then only bring back the essentials and important bits of furniture - we are quite ruthless at getting rid of unnecessary stuff. If you're doing a self build, it's a really good opportunity to have a clear out, but even if you're doing a building project in your existing house, and you're going to live in while the builders are there, it makes sense to declutter anyway.'
