Was just wondering how people here make their home, simple.
I try to keep from cluttering my flat too much, but there’s a few things I’m going to have to take care of, now that I have collected some rubbish.
How do you manage this?

Storing things as close as possible to where they are used, and in a way that is very easy to put away even if that makes it more difficult to get out.
Strategic duplicates when something is used in multiple places (e.g. pens and pencils both in the home office for work use and the livingroom for tabletop RPGs).
Only having one option when I don’t need the strategic duplicates, so there’s no decision-making required (e.g. one handbag, one belt, one backpack).
Thanks. What do you do when the items you only have one of get damaged/worn out? Especially for bags, ties and belts
If it’s something I can fix myself, fix it. If it’s just reaching end-of-life I start looking for a new (or new-to-me) one and look a bit shabby until I find it.
Ties I would probably have more than one if I needed any; they feel more like a clothing item where the duplicates allow time to wash and dry (or dryclean? I have no idea how to care for a tie).
A good leather belt can easily last a decade, even a cheap PU “leather” one can last a year in a shabby state, which is fine with me while I slow-shop for a replacement. But if your lifestyle would make it more likely to get damaged and need frequent replacing, a backup so you’re not left without makes more sense than taking that risk.
