Downsizing your home starts by decluttering your home. Don’t just clear out items you no longer use or need. What is the goal: it took years to fill your home with all the special things you love. It’s going to be difficult to go through everything to decide what stays and what goes.
Give Yourself Plenty of Time
Don’t think this project is going to happen overnight, plan on taking several months to sort through your things.
Declutter Tips & Methods
Try one or more of these decluttering methods to help sort through your stuff:
The Drawer Rotation Method
The Reverse Hanger Method
The 80 / 20 Rule
The Box & Banish Method
Discard of Duplicates
You may be surprised by how many duplicates and unused items you have – like that popcorn popper that you haven’t used in years because you microwave your popcorn these days.
- Discard items that are either broken or no longer in good condition.
- Donate things that either you simply won’t get a fair offer for or that you are good with donating to charity.
Take Inventory
Once you’ve decided on what you’re going to keep, take measurements of all of your furniture. Keep furniture that can double a desk and a table, space is at a premium at your new home. Not everything is going to work in your new space.
Need more space at home. Think self storage.
For many of us, there just isn’t enough space in our home for everything we own. For valuables you simply cannot part with but need to free up space, think self storage.
