Waiting until your home is a complete tip then spending all day cleaning it is both a waste of time and effort. You are far better off taking small and preventative measures so that it never gets into such a state.
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.
It doesn’t matter how you do it, just do it. You can give them away to family and friends, pass them onto charity or even sell them. This means that the clothes lying around will have a home, and the appearance of your rooms is instantly improved.
You’ve obviously been struggling for storage, so think how much easier it will be if you get rid of 25% of your clothes.
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.
If, after doing all this, you still feel that your home is cluttered and cramped, its time to turn your attention to your furniture. Buying more furniture than we need is something that we are all guilty of at some time or another.
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!
