A cluttered home can cause a lot of anxiety and frustration for a renter. Decluttering a home, however, can feel like an unending battle with your stuff.
Professionals recommend implementing certain strategies to help you declutter your home daily instead of just moving things around. In fact, you might be able to completely eliminate clutter from your rental home by adopting these five simple suggestions.
Start Small
Striving to declutter your entire house at once is a perfect way to get overwhelmed – and see no transformation. Alternatively, start little by little. Devote 5 or 10 minutes each day and focus 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
Most of us have unused items simply taking up space in our homes and wardrobes. Contemplate selecting just one item to give away daily. Over the course of a year, that could amount to 365 items! To know which clothes to keep and which you could donate, use this simple approach: Every one of your hangers ought to be positioned backward. As you wear each item, make sure to turn the hangers back the right way. After several months, take everything you haven’t worn and donate them.
Use a Trash Bag
The trash bag approach is a choice if you’re ready for a more substantial undertaking. With this approach, grab a large trash bag and look around the house for items you no longer need or use. As soon as possible, fill the bag, then donate or give the items away.
Create a Decluttering Checklist
Having clearly defined tasks makes decluttering your home much simpler. Moreover, you can track your progress by marking each task as it is accomplished. Using a checklist, focus on decluttering a little at a time for just a few minutes daily.
Use the Box Method
The box method is a fast method to declutter an area. Label several boxes with Keep, Give Away, Trash, or Re-Locate on a number of boxes. As you proceed through each room, take each object and place it into one of the boxes. Keep working until every single item is in a box. Following that, place the objects in their designated box by donating, re-locating, or throwing away them.
Another option of this strategy is having baskets belonging to each household member. Each person is obliged to put their items away in their rightful locations every day as the baskets are packed. In this way, you can declutter your entire house one box or basket at a time.
No matter which decluttering tip you decide to implement, putting it into action can help you gain control over the clutter in your house and maintain a minimal amount on a daily basis.
