Decluttering and Organising Your Home with ADHD: A Supportive Approach That Works, by Serene Space by Sally..

I’m Sally, a professional home organiser based in South Manchester, helping people create calm, functional homes that support their lifestyle and wellbeing. I have recently completed specialist training to better support clients with ADHD, allowing me to work in a way that feels understanding, respectful and confidence-building.

Living with ADHD can make decluttering and organising your home feel overwhelming. You may want a calm, tidy space but struggle to know where to start, feel paralysed by decisions, or find that clutter quickly builds up again. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, there is support available that truly understands how ADHD affects daily life.

ADHD impacts executive function, which includes planning, prioritising, memory and decision-making. This means traditional decluttering advice, such as “just be ruthless” or “do one room a day”. Often this doesn’t work and can leave people feeling frustrated, ashamed or stuck. Clutter is not a personal failing; it’s usually the result of a brain that works differently.

A Calm, ADHD-Aware Way to Declutter

Working with a professional home organiser trained to support clients with ADHD offers a completely different experience. Instead of pressure or judgement, the focus is on creating a calm, supportive environment where progress feels achievable.

An ADHD-informed approach to home organising includes:

Breaking tasks into small, manageable steps
Reducing decision fatigue
Working at your pace
Creating simple, realistic systems that are easy to maintain
Providing encouragement and reassurance throughout the process

This approach helps clients feel more confident, in control and supported.

Why Decluttering Makes Such a Difference

A well-organised home isn’t about perfection. For clients with ADHD, decluttering can:

Reduce stress and mental overwhelm
Make daily routines easier
Improve focus and energy
Create a calmer, more supportive living environment

If you are preparing your home for sale, decluttering is also one of the most effective ways to make your property feel more spacious, welcoming and appealing. Clear, organised spaces photograph better and help potential buyers imagine themselves living there.
