Kondo, Marie

Spark joy - London: Vermilion, 2016. - xi, 292 p. : ill. ; pb, 20 cm.

Spark Joy is an in-depth, line illustrated, room-by-room guide to decluttering and organising your home, and this lovely hardback edition comes complete with a green elastic ribbon to wrap around the front of the book to keep it neatly closed in between reading. Spark Joy covers every room in the house from bedrooms and kitchens to bathrooms and living rooms as well as a wide range of items in different categories, including clothes, photographs, paperwork, books, cutlery, cosmetics, shoes, bags, wallets and valuables. Charming line drawings explain how to properly organise drawers, wardrobes, cupboards and cabinets. The illustrations also show Ms Kondo's unique folding method, clearly showing how to fold anything from shirts, trousers and jackets to skirts, socks and bras. The secret to Marie Kondo's unique and simple KonMari tidying method is 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.
