The classic illustrated guide to living a clutter-free life, from tidying expert and Netflix show host Marie Kondo.
Marie Kondo’s first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, transformed the homes and lives of millions of people around the world. Spark Joy is her in-depth tidying masterclass, a line-illustrated, room-by-room guide to decluttering and organising your home. It covers every room in the house – from the bedroom and kitchen to the bathroom and living room – as well as all the items that occupy their spaces. Charming line drawings explain how to organise your house and apply Marie Kondo’s unique folding method to all your clothes, including shirts, trousers, jackets, skirts, socks and bras.
The secret to Marie Kondo’s unique and simple KonMari tidying method is to tidy by category and to focus on what you want to keep, not what you want to get rid of. Ask yourself if something ‘sparks joy’ and suddenly it becomes so much easier to understand if you really need it in your home and your life. Except tidying up is not just about transforming your home: when you surround yourself with things you love, you will find that your whole life begins to change.
Its strength is its simplicity.
