If it's hard to let go of sentimental clutter--and we've all been there--the solution might be as simple as hauling out your camera. Matt from Unclutterer taps into the advice of one organizational expert, who recommends taking a picture of a beloved item, so you can hang on to the visual memory, but not its actual physical bulk.

Another great tip: Don't do your uncluttering alone. If you tend to hoard, invite an objective party to help you make sensible decisions.

What are some of your unique space-saving storage ideas for streamlining your life? Let us know in the comments below. ::Unclutterer
