What To Do With Things That Make Your Home Give The Impression Of Being Crowded
Posted in Self Improvement on April 30th, 2010 by Isaac Lee – Be the first to commentWe would all love to have spotlessly clean homes 24/7, but this just isn’t reality for some of us. There are a few easy steps you can take to keep your home clean and tidy.
One of the untidiest things that we own are our clothes. Seriously, think about it. We are all guilty of throwing down a coat, or a cardigan or a jumper and leaving it there. If you have so many clothes that you have run out of storage, have a sort out and get rid of the ones you don’t wear.
Ask your family and friends if there’s anything they want, whatever they don’t a charity will accept gratefully. It damages your clothes when they are just flung around, so get them into those closets and tidy your home at the same time.
By getting rid of a quarter of your clothes, you are freeing up loads of storage, so there should be no need for clothes to be strewn around anymore.
The next step is to gather together all those small and loose items that you can’t bear to part with, but simply have nowhere to put. These can include things such as picture frames, clocks, books etc.
Now clear the decks of all these items and pack them away into large, strong bin liners. Now you have a blank canvas without any clutter and can arrange these items to your liking. It is very easy to just keep adding these items to our decor as we get them and giving an untidy cluttered appearance, by doing this regularly you keep everything looking tidy and uncluttered.
So your clothes are all now in the closets and your surfaces are tidy, yet your home still feels wrong. Its now time to rethink your furniture. If you have stuffed more furniture into your home than you need, you home will feel cramped and cluttered still.
There are pieces of furniture in all our homes that we don’t particularly like, they are just, there! Well, if you want a comfortable home with a good vibe it’s time for them to go. Selling them is the most profitable way to go, but don’t spend the money on more furniture or clutter!
