I'm storing small items in numbered bags. I take a photo and have a web UI for easy searching. It also tracks which items are used frequently vs not used at all in years.
Bags are stored in numerical order for quick storage and retrieval.
With this you do your decluttering from the web interface: search for items that haven't moved in years, flag for removal.
For frequently used items the system doesn't make sense - the storage and retrieval overheads are too high. But it pays off for any item you might forget the location of, or forget if you have it at all.
I feel we're overdue to have these types of digital front ends over our household item storage.
