They say your home is a reflection of yourself, so if your home is cluttered it may mean your life may be a little chaotic too. Montes Redesign & Staging can help you De-Clutter your home in just a few easy steps, however, if you’re impatient and want to tackle the task yourself here are some easy steps to get you started:
Start off one room at a time, the reason our homes are cluttered is because when we think about cleanup we overwhelm ourselves into thinking we need to tackle the clean-up all at once. Taking each room at a time helps break down the task into small bites.
Find 3 medium sized receptacles and name them: KEEP, TRASH, SELL or DONATE. As you begin your de-cluttering exercise decide which items will go in each bin.
Paper - that stack of papers built up on the floor, junk mail on cabinets, magazines that are more than 6 months old, etc. – you get the idea – trash, shred or file newspapers, magazines, junk mail, etc.
Closets – eliminate clothes that haven’t been worn in the last year, especially if they are out of style, too small, too big, thread barren, etc. The best way to make this exercise less painful is to “donate” gently used items. This way you’ll feel less attachment and feel good that these items will be going to someone less fortunate.
Organize and file important papers, bills, and magazine articles that have been building up in every corner and surface throughout the house.
When you come across broken or torn items repair or discarded them.
I guarantee that if you start out talking one room at a time, one stack of clutter at a time, one closet at a time soon you’ll find yourself in a neat, positive more enjoyable living environment.
Good Luck!
