There are people who need order like air. Those who can't stand chaos don't make a scene, but act quietly. If you've ever visited a house that always looks like a box, it's likely that behind it are these secret habits of their owners:
1. They cook like chefs – everything in its place
The concept of “mise en place” (everything in its place) isn’t just for restaurants. People who hate clutter never leave something there for later. They put it back where they got it, right away.
2. They clean while they walk
It's no wonder that, while they're talking to you in the kitchen, they're wiping the table without you even realizing it. Secretly, they're always keeping the space under control.
3. They donate (or re-donate) everything they don't want.
A gift they didn't like? They don't keep it as a keepsake. They either regift it, or give it to charity, it rarely stays at home.
4. They do seasonal “mini-cleans”
Every season, they give themselves a day to clean out their closets, drawers, shelves. Anything that isn't being used goes away.
5. They mercilessly throw away everything that no longer serves them.
If it doesn't bring joy, isn't practical, or is no longer in style, it goes away. Without nostalgia, without hesitation.
6. "Recycle" things with sentimental value
Baby clothes? They turn them into blankets. A bride's dress? It can become a pillow, for example. Meaningful things are not thrown away, but they are not left to collect dust either.
7. Hide the mess with style
From the outside, everything looks minimalist. But the drawers? They can be packed, as long as no one sees them.
8. They keep their closet in check.
If an item of clothing hasn't been worn in months, it goes away. There's no room for "maybe someday" in their wardrobe.
9. They don't mind paying for help.
Order doesn't necessarily mean doing everything yourself. When the mess gets out of hand, they don't hesitate to get a professional to lend them a helping hand.
