On Instagram @declutterdollies has over 125,000 followers.

Dilly’s home is a haven of order, books stacked neatly into [almost] height order, vibrant colours and organic surfaces neatly framed against spotless white walls. But there is one place that manages to evade Dilly’s tidiness wand. ‘Oh my goodness,’ she laughs. ‘The most chaotic place is my laundry room. [The washing] constantly gets waylaid and it just piles up.’
