A PRACTICAL RESOURCE GUIDE TO DECLUTTERING YOUR SPACE

---

Whether you're preparing to move or simply want more space, decluttering is a useful step towards organizing your house. Plus, research shows that eliminating clutter can help alleviate anxiety, making for a more soothing atmosphere. Decluttered Life TX helps people take this step towards a more harmonious home. Read on for a quick guide to decluttering.

How to Get Rid of Things You Don't Need
 
Eliminating unnecessary items is the first step.

• Take a room by room approach to decluttering for maximum efficiency. Start with the rooms that you use the least frequently for convenience.
• Know how to decide what to keep or get rid of when decluttering--for example, by determining if you have duplicates.
• Follow best practices when deciding to donate, trash, or sell old goods.

 
Steps to Organizing Your Remaining Belongings
 
Creating a more orderly space will help avoid future clutter.

• Invest in different types of storage to keep your place in order going forward. Examples include hooks, wall-mounted organizers, and over-door hangers.
• Look into vertical storage solutions to maximize your space.
• If you have kids, get simple and child-friendly storage options like big bins. Color-coding storage for kids is also handy.
• Establish a clear program for cleaning and organizing your home going forward.

 
Services to Help You Through the Process
 
The right professionals can streamline the entire process.

• Find Angi furniture movers in your area to get rid of bulkier items without having to stress about renting a moving truck yourself.
• For potential hazardous waste, like old household chemicals and paint, enlist the assistance of a professional who will get rid of these goods safely.
• Once the clutter is gone, hire a cleaning service to get your place sparkling.

 
Decluttering can take anywhere from a couple of days to weeks depending on the size of your home. Be patient and don't rush the process. In the end, you'll have a clutter-free, serene space that you can enjoy.
