Messy house starting to make you feel anxious? "An ordered home equals an ordered mind," says Scandi lifestyle expert Catharina Björkman from contura.eu. "There’s no feeling more uplifting than waking up to a clean and tidy space."

However, finding the time to organise your space can be challenging, and it’s a highly personalised task – one size does not necessarily fit all. Save time and follow the right advice by taking our fun quiz to uncover which professional decluttering method will work best for you. And put that advice into action this weekend.

The ultimate decluttering quiz

Answer the following 10 questions, choosing the option that best describes you. Don’t agonise over it – just choose the one you’re instinctively drawn to, to reveal the clearing style that will suit you and how to follow it, for a beautifully ordered home. From the one-touch method to the Marie Kondo method, there's a technique to suit all...

Don’t worry if your answers mean you’re split between more than one method; just read them all for ideas about what might be helpful for you. Finding a way to make decluttering more manageable may differ month to month, depending on how busy your calendar is – so it pays to be open to mixing things up.
