The Clutter Fairy Weekly #304
Declutter Room-by-Room: Guest Rooms and Other Multi-function Spaces
Do you have a guest room that’s also your home office, the gift-wrapping room, and the craft room? Or maybe you live in a studio where the challenge is to carry out all your activities in one space. In episode #304 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, continues our room-by-room decluttering series by exploring multi-function spaces—how to make them work, or at least make them work better.
Some content in this episode is based on results of a survey of our audience.
The next selection for The Clutter Fairy Book Club will be New Order: A Decluttering Handbook for Creative Folks (and Everyone Else) by Fay Wolf. Shop for the paperback or ebook at Bookshop.org.

The Weekly Tittle is an exercise designed to focus your attention on a specific space, aspect, or challenge of decluttering and organizing your home. We assign a new tittle in each webcast/podcast, then check on your progress the following week.
Make a Multi-function Space Work
This week’s assignment is to improve the usefulness of a multi-function space in your home.
- Identify a space in your home that’s struggling to serve multiple purposes.
- Make a list of the uses to which you’d like to dedicate the space and the household members who use it.
- Plan how you’ll use the space so it won’t default to serving as a catch-all.
Don’t have a multi-function space, but you have trouble finding space for everything you like to do?
- Spend time this week reflecting on any spaces in your home that aren’t used frequently.
- Start a list of ways that you might reclaim part (or all) of this space to serve another function.
