If your home is feeling a little like an obstacle course, then perhaps it’s time to get a good storage solution for all your things. But do you really need all the stuff in your house? Here’s how to identify the items in your house that are space wasters or junk.

Get focused

Much of the clutter in our homes represents a mind set rather than some kind of deliberate decision to overcrowd our homes with useless gadgets and forgotten appliances. It’s starts with a small pile of clothing or books you don’t quite know where to put, then becomes lots of heaps and piles on floor, in drawers, on top of cupboards, and in the garage.

When you’re identifying what’s wasting valuable space in your home it can be a daunting task, because sometimes it can take many hours, or days, to get through all the junk. This process can be made a lot easier by evaluating what is causing the clutter. Simply by monitoring what you are bringing into the home can be of great use. The more you bring in, the more that eventually you’re going to need to throw out.

Once you’ve taken control of what you’re bringing in, you’ll need to start removing the clutter. Start by letting go. Stop treasuring possessions that are doing you no good and causing anxiety. If it’s old, broken or not used, then throw it out into the recycling or take it to a charity shop. The pleasure you’ll get from knowing it could be going to a good home will encourage you to de-clutter further.

Take control

It’s your house and your space. Don’t let a fear of de-cluttering stop you from deciding what to keep and what to throw out. Confront your own sentiments. Are they holding you back from throwing out some old stuff that might have nostalgic value but not much else? Garage storage is just as important and the same rules apply. Get organised and get your things organised. Old kitchen appliances, magazines, scrap paper, and forgotten gadgets are easy to find once you are focused on the job in hand.

If you’re unsure where to start, then go room by room. Each item must be able to justify its place in your home. Go on an instant decision for each possession, and consider when you last used it, how likely you are to use it again, then either keep it or dump it. Take too long to decide and you could be in for a long de-clutter, which is demotivating and therefore likely to be a barrier to a good household tidy up.

It’s not just the things in your house that could be possible space wasters, it’s also the way you manage home storage. Keep shelves and drawers tidy, and by doing so you could find yet more junk that need’s throwing out. Do the same for your garage too. Your property should have floor space for you, and wall space for your things, so consider how you position shelves, and for a really good home improvement, do some research and get some decent home storage solutions.
