In a shared home, clutter is rarely one person’s fault — it’s what happens when nobody owns a space. The fix is to give every shared area a clear purpose and every person a clear zone.
Agree on what lives in the kitchen, the hallway and the bathroom, and what doesn’t. Label shelves if it helps. A labelled shelf ends more arguments than a group chat ever will.
Keep a short, visible rota for the jobs that matter most: bins, dishes, bathroom. Rotate weekly, and review it together once a month.
