Not enough space in your home? If you can’t afford to move, or don’t want to, then your best option is to declutter. Decluttering can give you more space to move and make your home a more pleasant place to live. While it may seem like a big task, there are ways to cut down on clutter with ease.

Identify what you really need

When it comes to your home, there are only a few categories of things that you need.

• Items that are useful – for example, kitchenware and bathroom items
• Things that are beautiful and decorative
• Things that are truly sentimental and mean a lot to you

There are lots of things that don’t fit these categories, from old CDs to books, so this is a good starting point to choose what to keep in your home.

Hire a van to get rid of stuff

Decluttering can sometimes be difficult because people tend to do it in stages, which means they buy more stuff, and the cycle continues. It’s better to take a day off and really go for it.

Feeling like you need a declutter? It doesn’t have to be difficult or time consuming. Simply make sure you have some free time, get in the right mindset, and have a plan to dispose of the things you no longer want.
