Eliminate clutter many ways
Use these prompts to reduce clutter and organize your home:
- Take out the junk. Review what’s in your home. Dispose of broken, worn, unused or bygone items.
- Contain what you keep. Use woven baskets, plastic bins, and other large containers to clear up visual clutter.
- Hang things up. Use vertical space to store everything from shoes to small items like makeup brushes or tie clips. Hanging compartments attach easily to doors and disappear from sight when you close the door.
- Display photographs. Souvenirs are great but end up gathering dust. Instead, display pictures in creative ways that take up minimal space: vertically hang frames, create a collage or pin prints to a clothesline on your wall.
- Use secret storage. Optimize your floorplan by using items like ottomans and tables with hidden compartments for storage.
- Donate. When you’re reluctant to throw away usable items, get satisfaction taking them to your local donation center or Goodwill.
- Consider external storage. Seasonal sporting equipment and other large, clunky items like skis and surfboards can be stored in a rented storage unit.
- Build a routine. Clutter is a habit, and so is organization. Compel yourself to get rid of one unnecessary item every day. Once you get used to doing a sweep for junk, your home is much more likely to stay clutter-free.
