She also suggests getting rid of extra pyjamas recommending holding on to no more than three pairs for summer and winter.
Shoes that are too high, or too painful to wear should also be on the list of things to cull.
Her tip for deciding which clothes to keep and which to throw away: ask yourself "Would I buy this if I saw it in the shop today?" If the answer is no, bag it up for donation.
Create space in the bathroom
While many bathrooms are small to begin with, the way you store certain things has a big impact on space.
Throw out samples from hotels, broken or expired makeup, mascara older than six months and those curling irons you swear you'll use one day.
Any old toiletry bags, hair ties that have lost their stretch and hair products that have been sitting untouched should also be thrown out.
Get crafty in the kitchen
Kitchens are notorious for being overly cluttered, but Schravemade says this is the best place to get started when doing a clear out.
Duplicates of utensils, gimmick appliances, rusty or worn out baking dishes and naff novelty mugs should be cut first.
Herbs that have gone stale, takeaway shop chopsticks and freezer bags are all common culprits for taking up space.
