A survey commissioned in 2023 found that 31% of participants argue over clutter around the home. 35% of respondents believe a messy home negatively impacts their mental health and overall mood and 44% of respondents admitted to hoarding items they don't need.

A survey of 2,000 adults for The Container Store found that half of Americans consider at least one room too cluttered to fix. Additionally, 34% feel cramped, especially apartment dwellers (39%). When it comes to decluttering, Americans have the hardest time letting go of clothes (29%), kitchen equipment (21%), and hobby items (16%).

So, before you put that additional spare tyre in the garage or phone cable in the junk drawer alongside five others – stop! Think about if you really need it. Perhaps it's time to declutter your home and breathe new life into your living spaces.

These house problems cause the most arguments
