Throughout the year, we accumulate a large amount of clutter in our homes, most often not even realising we\u2019re hoarding useless things until they\u2019re almost on top of us. A cluttered home isn\u2019t exactly a great way to start the new year fresh, so in this month\u2019s article, we\u2019ll be showing you how to declutter your home ready for the new year ahead!<\/span><\/p>\n

Organise and Sort Through Decorations<\/b><\/p>\n

As you begin taking down your Christmas tree and decorations, don\u2019t just throw them all willy nilly into their boxes and forget about them until next year – sort through them and organise everything properly! By diligently packing your decorations, you can make it easier for yourself next year when it comes to unpacking them again. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth weighing whether or not you actually want to keep certain decorations. Worn and dated decorations should be jettisoned, either by recycling at a charity shop or repurposing them as cleaning cloths, for instance. Ultimately, you\u2019ll see a vast reduction in the amount of Christmas clutter in your home!<\/span><\/p>\n

Show No Mercy<\/b><\/p>\n

When you start decluttering your home, you need to be as relentless as possible with it all. If you haven\u2019t used an item for over a year and don\u2019t plan on doing so in the near future, you need to be rid of it. Essential items like screwdrivers may not have been used but would come in handy at some point, but other things like old magazines aren\u2019t useful. Approach all items in your home with this mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, you should also recycle any old carrier bags. The introduction of the 5p charge on carrier bags may have cut the amount of bags lying around the house, but in a year they can still mount up and take over a cupboard you could use for more effective storage!<\/span><\/p>\n

Clean as You Declutter<\/b><\/p>\n

As you begin to declutter your home in earnest, be sure to clean as you go. It\u2019s never too early to start a spot of spring cleaning, and as you declutter your home you can get into tighter crevices that were inaccessible to you before. Basic cleaning includes dusting and vacuuming, but you may also decide to shampoo your carpet, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set up a Toy Library for a Tidy Home<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re sick and tired of tripping up over your children\u2019s toys lying all over the house, a toy library system could be just the ticket. Collect all the toys together and only let your children play with them on a loan-like basis: if they want to play with another toy, they have to bring back any toys that are currently out. Over time, you\u2019ll notice which toys your children no longer play with. You can then ask them if they\u2019d like to keep them or not, then send any unwanted toys to the charity shop!<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider Self Storage<\/b><\/p>\n

No matter how ruthless you are during your declutter, there will always be items leftover you simply can\u2019t part with. However, just because you can\u2019t part with them it doesn\u2019t mean that they have to keep cluttering up your home – consider self storage instead! <\/span><\/p>\n

Self storage is an efficient solution for problems with space, allowing you to put large amounts of items into safe and secure storage so you can reclaim all areas of your home. Christmas decorations are just one thing you could store; you could also store family heirlooms like furniture, or even your old record collection – the possibilities are endless!<\/span><\/p>\n
