It gives us clarity,\u201d says Effy Nicopoulos, the founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/organizethat.ca\/\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organize That<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and one of 20 certified KonMari consultants in Canada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We caught up with Nicopoulos at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fallhomeshow.com\/\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toronto Fall Home Show<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for tips on maximizing small spaces using the KonMari method.

This is all the more important in small spaces where there aren\u2019t extra closets, garages or dressers to stow bags, bins and clutter away. But whether you live in a 5,000-square-foot house, a small condo or a tiny home, these space-saving and decluttering hacks will transform your home into a sanctuary that will spark <\/span><i><span
