Is your New Year’s Resolution to finally make your home the Zen oasis you’ve always wanted? Then you’ve got some organizing and decluttering in your future. Here’s our advice on how to make your space clutter-free in 2022.
Create a Plan
Organizing your home sounds like a good idea, but if you don’t have a game plan, it’s unlikely to ever happen. Create a schedule for yourself, and keep it realistic. Perhaps focus on one room each month, and make sure you know what you’re going to do with your unwanted items (more on that below) so you don’t end up stashing them away somewhere else.
Donate or Sell What You Don’t Need
Some things like broken items or old paperwork just need to go into the trash, but lots of your stuff may be ideal to sell or donate. Clothing that doesn’t fit, books you won’t re-read, items you have more than one of…all of these could be great for someone else! You can sell your unwanted goods on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, or consider donating them to a local organization. We’ve created a guide of the best places to donate items in Waco for your reference!
Utilize Storage Spaces
Some things are worth holding onto, even if we don’t want them taking up space in our homes at all times. Getting a storage unit is a great way to keep sentimental items you don’t have room for, as well as seasonal items — think holiday decorations, camping gear, ski clothes, and other things you only need from time to time. There’s no reason they have to monopolize your precious square footage!
