Stacey and her gang – organiser Dilly, carpenter Rob and cleaner Iwan – challenge the Morrell family to sort their life out in seven days. They will have to embark on a mammoth declutter, and the family will be asked to let go of half of their possessions, so that the team can then beautifully reorganise their home.

With Stacey’s help, the family start packing all their possessions into boxes. Every single item is stripped from the family home, revealing just how much space there is under all their belongings. We get to know the family behind the clutter – mum Charlie and dad Keith, who live with their young sons Charlie (four), Alfie (two) and Danny (six months). Charlie’s work schedule is hectic, and Keith, who has been on paternity leave, is going back to work. Both parents are nervous about how to juggle their jobs alongside parenting three children all under the age of four, with the house in its current, cluttered state. Not being able to find anything, and with no clear space for play, is making the home feel claustrophobic, so it’s time for the family to sort through the junk that has taken over the house.

When the house is all packed up, the family’s possessions are laid out in a giant warehouse like an art installation of their entire lives, including 131 pairs of shoes, 30 remote controls, 22 toothbrushes and over 500 items of baby clothes.

With everything displayed in front of them, the family are shocked to see how much they really own and are left wondering how it all fitted into their house in the first place.

There will be emotional moments as the family go through their most treasured items. Mum Charlie realises how the stress of fertility treatment and raising three young children while working full time is catching up with her. And Dad Keith confronts the fact that a lot of the mess stems from him, as he’s been holding onto items because of previous financial struggles.

At the house, carpenter Rob breathes new life into the home with a unique wooden feature wall for Charlie and Keith’s bedroom and a ‘grow-with-you’ desk in the playroom for the kids. Iwan gives the home a supersized spring clean, with lots of useful tips along the way, while Dilly reorganises everyone’s wardrobes, with hacks to keep them under control. When the family are left with only the must-keep items, they are packed up and taken back to the house before it’s stylishly restored by Stacey and her team, ready for the big reveal to the family. Have they really managed to transform this family home by decluttering, organising and upcycling alone?
