About Simple and Home

What this site covers

Simple and Home publishes guides on home organization and decluttering for Canadian households. The content is organized around individual rooms — bedroom, kitchen, living room — with guides that address the specific accumulation patterns and storage conditions common in Canadian homes.

The guides on this site are informational. They don't recommend specific products or vendors. Where storage solutions are mentioned, they're described by type and function rather than by brand.

The Canadian context

Home organization guides written for North American audiences often assume housing conditions that vary significantly across Canada. A condominium in Vancouver, a wartime bungalow in Winnipeg, and a century home in Saint John have different built-in storage, different seasonal pressures, and different accumulation patterns.

The guides on this site try to address these differences where they're relevant — particularly around seasonal storage for winter gear, the prevalence of older housing stock with limited closet space, and the role of bulk purchasing in Canadian grocery habits.

Content approach

The content on this site is written in an informational style. It describes what tends to happen in specific rooms and what storage approaches work in different conditions. It doesn't prescribe a particular organizational system or philosophy.

References to external sources are limited to Canadian government resources and established institutions where additional information is relevant and publicly available.
