Sorting out your Home and Decluttering this Summer

If you have decided that now is the time to start decluttering your home and the beautiful sunshine is also showing up in all of those dusty areas, then here is how to get your home sorted for the summer and get rid of all of that clutter…

Organise the whole family – Getting everyone into the swing of things will help you to make sure that nobody is creating more clutter as you work and will also make it quicker and easier to get done. If everyone takes responsibility for a particular area, you really can make light work of it, and everyone can enjoy a clutter free home. If you have young children, you can even get them involved – maybe get them to sort out a bag of toys with you that they no longer play with that can be donated to charity.

Think About Alternative Storage – Many of us have a lot of stuff that is useful but limited storage in the home to keep it. This is where you need to get a bit creative with storage if you have things that you need and can’t get rid of. Outdoor storage like a shed is a great idea for garden equipment and tools if you have room in your garden. If you have things that you use seasonally and are not needed for some of the year, then why not rent out a self storage unit from somewhere like this self storage Swindon based company https://www.anchorselfstorage.co.uk/self-storage/swindon

That way, it is out of the way when you don’t need it and when you do you can go and get it, and maybe swap it with other seasonal items to prevent the house from getting cluttered again.

Make Some Money – A great incentive to de-clutter is the fact that you could make some money! If you have a holiday coming up, then this could give you a little extra spending money for your trip. Anything that is not needed or used but is in good condition can be sold. This is also good for the environment! There are lots of ways that you can sell things too – you might want to set up a stall at your local car boot sale, or you could sell things online on specialist second hand sites.
