In my perfect world, everything has a place and everything is organized. But, of course, reality falls pretty far off the mark.

Real life is messy and disorganized, which is why gurus like Marie Kondo and her trendy theories on discarding and tidying [1] become all the rage. Whether you take tips from a professional organizer [2] or simply want to begin decluttering [3], we can probably all agree that the sight of an orderly room, pantry, drawer, or vanity is a joyous one.

For inspiration — or just for pure fun — we've rounded up 31 amazing photos of organizational success that are sure to bring a smile to your face . . . and maybe some inspiration to your own decluttering adventures.
