The KonMari Method®
From Japan To Your Home
The KonMari Method is the Japanese art of decluttering and organizing. Created by Marie Kondo, it has transformed how the world views "stuff." It shifts the focus from the stress of discarding to the joy of choosing, allowing you to curate a home that reflects who you are today.
The Process
Keeping What You Love
Before you begin tidying up, take time to imagine the kind of life you want to lead. The question of what you want to own is actually the question of how you want to live your life. Instead of deciding what to get rid of, focus on items that spark joy, speak to your heart, and support your ideal lifestyle.
This approach focuses on organizing by category instead of by room or location. It provides a clear view of how much you own and helps break the clutter cycle. We go through your home in this order:
1. Clothes
2. Books
3. Papers
4. Komono (miscellaneous items), such as hobby and kitchen items
5. Sentimental items
The Principles
6 Rules of Tidying
To achieve a home that supports your lifestyle, there are six foundational rules:
1. Commit yourself to tidying thoroughly
2. Imagine your ideal lifestyle
3. Finish discarding first
4. Tidy by category, not by location
5. Follow the right order
6. Ask yourself if it sparks joy
