I love Peter Walsh and his television decluttering show.
The main concept here was to consider what kind of life you want to live and make your living space match that vision. Room by room, as a family- imagine what you want to in that room and make the room fit that need. You might create stations in the room for different needs. He gives advice for each room, including his own strongly held beliefs about what the room should be for, and what type of things he's seen in various people's homes that is hurting not helping their home vision. Finally, he gives advice on how to get the clutter out both in a big purge and in daily smaller purges, as well as practical yard sale advice.
I think it's a helpful book, but maybe even more to the point, it's inspirational. It gets you up and decluttering.
