Top 3 Rules for Decluttering

Diamond Maids is sharing the top 3 rules for decluttering your home today. Clutter – whether a little or a lot – is a part of all our homes and lives from time to time. Sometimes, despite our best intentions, it creeps into our homes and takes root. Even if clutter doesn’t overwhelm your household, it still impacts your day-to-day living, both physically and mentally. When many areas in your home need tidying up and decluttering, it can lead you to feel exhausted and on edge. 

Follow the top 3 rules for decluttering and enjoy peace of mind

Don’t Hold On To Things Out Of Guilt

We all have an item or a few that we’ve kept out of guilt. Maybe you received a birthday present from someone you love that you’ve never used but felt bad about giving away. You might have spent too much money on something that never sees the light of day. Whatever the situation, it’s okay to get rid of things. If getting rid of everything at once feels too much, start small. Pick an item or two to give to someone in need or a loved one, and keep building from there.

Wouldn’t Buy The Item Now? Time To Donate It

As you get older, your taste changes; something you would have bought in a heartbeat in your 20s is now the last thing you’d want to own. If you find yourself holding onto an item like this, it’s time to give it away. Depending on the items, take them off to the local homeless shelter or a Goodwill or Salvation Army nearby.

Think Vertical

Do you have wall space that you’re not utilizing? If so, this one is for you! Rather than trying to find extra space in your home that isn’t there, think vertically. Use the walls of your home by incorporating shelves, or flushed organizing cabinets, to help use less space on the floor. By doing so, your home will feel less crammed with stuff, and you’ll have an easier time staying organized.
