As a renter, a cluttered home can be a basis of significant anxiety and frustration. Yet, the task of decluttering a home can seem like an ongoing battle with your stuff.
Instead of just moving things around, professionals recommend following a few specific strategies to help you declutter your home daily. In fact, by applying these five simple suggestions, you might be able to fully eliminate clutter from your rental home.
Start Small
Trying to declutter your entire house at once is an excellent way to get overwhelmed – and for nothing to change. Take baby steps instead. Allocate 5 or 10 minutes each day and concentrate on removing clutter from a single area. After a couple 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 closets. Consider picking just one item to give away each day. That could add up to 365 items in a year! To figure out which clothes to keep and which you could donate, try this simple trick: turn all your hangers in the reverse direction. As you wear each item, turn the hangers back the correct way. After a few months, gather up everything you haven’t worn and donate them.
Use a Trash Bag
You may attempt the trash bag approach if you’re up for a little more trouble. The first step in this method is to gather all of the unnecessary stuff in your home into a large trash bag. Gather as many stuff as you can into the bag and then donate or give the items away.
Create a Decluttering Checklist
Decluttering your home is a lot straightforward when you have clearly defined tasks. On top of that, you can track your progress by marking off each task as it is finished. Using a checklist, concentrate on decluttering a little at a time for just a few minutes daily.
Use the Box Method
One way to declutter an area quickly is to use the box method. Label numerous boxes with names like Keep, Give Away, Trash, or Re-Locate. Going one room at a time, take each item and place it into one of the boxes. Continue this process until every single item is in a box. After that, decide whether it’s by donating, re-locating, or throwing away the goods in the appropriate box.
Another alternative to this method is having baskets belonging to each household member. As the baskets are packed, each member should put their items away in their designated areas each day. In this way, you can declutter your entire house one box or basket at a time.
It doesn’t matter which decluttering tip you begin with; the point is to use them to gain control over the clutter in your home and maintain a minimal amount every day.
