The Art of Decluttering

Doom Rooms


Listen Later

Do you have a room in your home that has become the place where unhoused clutter ends up? A spare room/ junk room full of boxes, furniture, paperwork, and things you don't quite know what to do with? You might have a Doom Room.


A doom room is often the result of delayed decisions. Instead of finding a permanent home for things, you place them in a room "for now" and eventually that room becomes overwhelming.


The key to reclaiming the space is to give it a purpose. When you know what you want the room to become, it becomes much easier to decide what stays and what goes.


Start by removing the obvious donations and larger items you no longer need. Momentum builds quickly when you begin seeing space reappear.


If the room still feels overwhelming, don't try to make every decision at once. Sort items into categories and create smaller "doom boxes" instead. Group paperwork together, photos together, tools together, and sentimental items together. Suddenly, you're no longer dealing with an entire room of chaos. You're simply making decisions one category at a time.


If the room genuinely needs to function as storage, make it intentional. Add shelving, use labelled containers, and create systems that make everything easy to find and put away.


One small decision at a time can turn a Doom Room into a purposeful, peaceful space that works for your life again.
