The Downsizing Roadmap Podcast

34. How to Downsize and Declutter Your Hobby Room Without Guilt

Jodi Rosko and Heather Fisher Season 1 Episode 34

Craft rooms, woodworking benches, model train layouts—these spaces are more than just square footage. They’re often deeply personal zones of creativity, identity, and memory. So when it’s time to downsize or simplify your home, the hobby room is often the hardest place to start.

In this episode of The Downsizing Roadmap Podcast, we walk you through the emotional and practical side of letting go (or reinventing) your hobby room. Whether you're ready to say goodbye, want to honor the memories, or just need to right-size your supplies—we’ve got you covered.

🎯 Inside this episode:

  • 5 key questions to help you decide what to do with your hobby
  • How to continue a beloved hobby in a smaller space
  • Ways to pass on tools, supplies, and projects with purpose
  • Emotional tips for letting go without feeling guilt
  • Real-life stories of people who reinvented their creative spaces after moving

This is one of the most common rooms our clients struggle with—and one that deserves a gentle, thoughtful approach.
