Marie Kondo has helped people declutter and organise their homes [1] since the release of her first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, in 2011, and now her new Netflix series is sparking another round of frantic rectangle folding [2]. Closets and drawers around the world have been transformed, and people are sharing pictures [3] to prove it. But there's one KonMaried home we haven't really seen . . . and that's the living space of the KonMari master herself. Marie hasn't allowed reporters into her home [4] or offered up her assumingly immaculate space for a house tour yet, but she has shared snippets of what we can safely assume is her personal dwelling on Instagram. With a sharp eye, you can get a glimpse at her clutter-free living space and see just how Marie practices what she preaches ahead.
A Clutter-Free Kitchen
What we wouldn't give for built-in cabinet drawers.
Simple Living
To answer your question, nope, there is absolutely no dust.
Working on It
Perfectly stacked books with hidden spines and nary a loose piece of paper or dried-up pen in sight!
Sew Impressive
If you're not hand sewing something on your free-of-clutter dining table, you're doing it wrong.
Down to the Last Detail
Cleaning the organizing things takes it to a whole new level.
Hall of Fame
No rogue shoes or scattered toys to be seen.
Thinking Pink
A pop of pink definitely adds joy.
On the Right Foot
Shoes should feel special, too.
Lounge Life
Throw pillows? As if.
Something to Celebrate
We didn't realize shopping bags could spark joy, but who are we to argue with the KonMari master?
Happy Holidays
We'd expect nothing less than a tidy tree and perfectly placed presents.
Perfect Plants
She's not only a bestselling author, she's a plant lady, too!
Flower Power
Fresh flowers always spark joy.
Planning Ahead
Throw pillows on the floor (gasp!)? Must have been an off day.
Tea For One
This tea set keeps her drink warm and looks pretty.
Helping Hands
Is that an empty drawer?!
Bright Future
Even sunglasses have a happy home.
The Finer Things
Incomplete, chipped tea sets not welcome.
Fountain of Joy
I spy a serene water feature just outside.
Welcome Home
I'd thank my home, too, if it looked this immaculate.
