As a renter, a cluttered home can be the basis of considerable anxiety and frustration. Yet, the procedure of decluttering a home can seem like an ongoing battle with your stuff.
As opposed to just moving things around, experts advise following a few specific strategies to help you declutter your home daily. In fact, by implementing these five simple suggestions, you might be able to eliminate clutter from your rental home completely.
Start Small
Trying to declutter your entire house in one go can easily lead to feeling overwhelmed – and ultimately result in no real change. Opt for gradual progress instead. Devote 5 or 10 minutes each day and concentrate on removing clutter from a single area. Within a few days, you will begin to see a real difference in the amount of clutter in your house.
Give Unused Items Away
Many of us have unused items simply taking up space in our homes and cabinets. Think about picking just one item to give away each day. That might total 365 items over the course of a year! To identify which clothes to keep and which you could donate, use this straightforward method: reverse the direction of all your hangers. As you wear each item, make sure to turn the hangers back to their original position. After a few months, gather up everything you haven’t worn and donate them.
Use a Trash Bag
If you’re feeling adventurous, you might want to try the trash bag approach. The initial step in this approach is to collect all the items you no longer need in your home into a large trash bag. Collect as much stuff as you can into the bag and then donate or give the items away.
Create a Decluttering Checklist
Decluttering your home is far simpler when you have clearly defined tasks. Additionally, you can track your progress by marking each task as it is finished. Using a checklist, focus on decluttering a little at a time for just a few minutes daily.
Use the Box Method
A quick method to declutter an area is to utilize the box method. Tag several boxes with labels such as Keep, Give Away, Trash, or Re-Locate. Going one room at a time, take each item and place it into one of the boxes. Keep going with this procedure until every single item is in a box. After that, decide whether it’s by donating, re-locating, or throwing away the items in the correct container.
An additional option for this method is to have baskets belonging to each household member. As the baskets get packed, every member should put their items away in their assigned spaces daily. This technique allows you to declutter your entire house one box or basket at a time.
It’s not important which decluttering tip you begin with; what matters is utilizing them to gain control over the clutter in your home and maintain a minimal amount every day.
