Why We should embrace Mess

✢ It’s time to challenge the concept of perfection and accept that your house can be untidy. Recent research* revealed that 91% of UK adults spend up to 60 minutes a day worrying their home is messy. ✢ Spilt milk on the worktop? Crumbs on the table? You’re more likely to take it in your stride if you haven’t spent ages cleaning.

✢ Clutter can make you creative, as a chaotic environment can prompt a release from the conventional.

✢ It may look a mess to everyone else, but you know your to-do list is in that pile of paper and your keys are in the fruit bowl – and at least the house looks lived-in!
