And, if you’re thinking about selling your Triangle home this year, decluttering is a great first step!
Get ready to declutter your home
It can feel overwhelming to complete the task of decluttering your home, but getting organized is achievable with some effort and planning. The best place to start is by breaking the house into manageable sections, like one room at a time. Make sure to prepare yourself and have plenty of sorting boxes to help divide up your items according to what should stay, what can be donated or reused, and what needs to be thrown away. Then, go through every object you come across, take your time over each area, and remember to reward yourself after every successful purge session!
Change up your winter wardrobe
If your bedroom closet is full of clothes you don’t wear anymore, it might be time for a purge. Getting rid of clothes you no longer wear or don’t fit can be freeing. It can also make getting dressed in the morning easier because you’ll have fewer choices. If you need help figuring out where to start, try going through your closet and putting aside anything you last wore in the past year. Once you’ve gone through your wardrobe, you can donate the items you don’t want to local charities or consignment shops.
Reconsider your living room furniture
The living room is an excellent place to start if you want to declutter your home. Start by looking at any furniture that has been unused for a while, and consider donating them. More than helping to clear up valuable space, it also helps someone else who might not have such comfortable things. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be amazed by how tidier the room looks and feels!
Make your kitchen nice and fresh
Clearing out your cupboards and drawers is a great place to simplify the home – it helps you access what you need more quickly and reduces stress and clutter from piling up. Give yourself space to decide which old items to keep, check expiration dates on food items, and have a bag handy for any things that no longer spark joy or are too outdated to keep. With a decluttered kitchen, you can better enjoy cooking meals.
