What is a way you arrange your home that makes it simple? (lemmy.world)

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?

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.
