With many of us in self-isolation, reinventing our living space appears as a simple stress-relieving technique to incorporate in our daily life
Tidying and decluttering your interior seem particularly important in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, with Pinterest reporting a 4,000 per cent increase in "deep cleaning tips" searches in recent weeks.
Decluttering enthusiasts are already familiar with the principles of Marie Kondo's "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying," in which the Japanese guru advocates for minimalist living by throwing away any belonging that does not "spark joy."
"My tidying method isn't about getting rid of things—it's about heightening your sensitivity to what brings you joy. Once you've completed your tidying, there is room to welcome meaningful objects, people and experiences into your life," Kondo wrote on her site to mark the recent launch of her online homeware store.
