Before and After Decluttering Photos

Here are the most realistic before-and-after decluttering photos to inspire you! It is way easier to declutter if you are inspired, which is why I am sharing all of the before-and-after photos from my decluttering sessions.

All of these photos are from decluttering projects that I have done in my home or helped people with. In most cases, decluttering is not hard, but it takes time and energy that many people struggle to find.

Starting in one area that is easy for you to declutter will get the ball rolling and lead to more difficult areas.

Before and After Decluttering Photo Inspiration

Here is a living room that we decluttered and changed from a multipurpose dining room/workout and TV room to a simple living room. 

In the process, we decluttered the top of the buffet, the dining table and chairs, and the treadmill, transforming this room from overstuffed to a very usable space.

It’s amazing how this room can now be used for living rather than storing things.

 

Garage Declutter Before and After

A garage is always a place where things get stored.  Sometimes, we store something away and never revisit it, only to find years later we have a ton of stuff we no longer need.

We worked on a huge garage decluttering and reorganizing.  All of these shelves were decluttered until they didn’t even need the shelves anymore.

This allowed them to park two cars in the garage with extra space to walk around them!

 

Closet Declutter Inspiration

Not only did I declutter my closet, but I also decided to add shelves.  You know you have too much when the top shelf is sagging from the weight of everything.

This top closet photo is from before we started decluttering and becoming more minimal. 

As time passed and I continued to declutter, my closet looked better.  Decluttering made getting ready more straightforward and quicker.

I also found it much easier to keep everything organized when I didn’t have much stuff.

Office Declutter Before and After

I helped my mom declutter her office and get everything organized. 

A little time decluttering and reorganizing it made a huge difference.  In the first photo, there was an extra table because there was too much clutter on the desk to hold everything.

Once we decluttered and put everything away, we could take down the extra table.

My Declutter and Garage Organization Project:

With only a few days of decluttering and organizing, we were able to transform our garage completely! 

It turned out all we needed was an action plan and some organizational tools.  See the full post here.

Kitchen Declutter Before and After Photo:

In 2019, my mom and I started decluttering my parents’ home. We started in a few small areas, focusing on one spot at a time.

This helped my mom avoid getting overwhelmed with the decluttering process. After a few years, we ended up decluttering every room in their home, and you can really see the difference in this kitchen.

Here is a before photo showing all the clutter hotspots. Pay close attention to the fridge and the area around the stove! 

It is incredible what decluttering can do for a space. Now, my parents have much more room on their counters to cook, and the kitchen looks much bigger.
