Declutter Your Home With Purpose

20th April 2020

There is nothing wrong with doing as little as possible with your time at home right now. However, we know some people are looking for a project to occupy their time. If you think your home is looking a little tired, or you could do with more space, decluttering may be the ideal activity for you.

At Merrys, we are pleased to say we have assisted many local vendors in connecting with buyers. There are many things to consider during the sales process, but if you can declutter a house, make space and present an orderly home, you increase the likelihood of a prospective buyer liking the house.

Of course, you don’t need to be in the process of selling your home to benefit from decluttering. For some people, the act of decluttering is of benefit. Keeping busy and seeing gradual improvements in your home is great for your mental wellbeing. Also, when you complete the project, a lot of people feel happier and more comfortable in their surroundings.

Set goals for your decluttering project

There is a lot to be said for having goals in place, no matter the project you are working on. When you can visualise what you want to achieve at the end of the process, you are more likely to continue working. Therefore, setting yourself targets and goals will keep you motivated and ensure you maintain momentum.

Set deadlines for your project

Alongside visualising goals, you should set yourself a deadline. Having a deadline for the overall task, and for many of the smaller steps of the project, will help you remain active. Most of us work better when we have a deadline, and self-imposed deadline can be as effective.

Know how you are going to work

There are many different ways you can declutter a home, and what works for one family may not work for your household. Therefore, consider your options and settle on a way of working which is likely to be best for you.

Some people like to focus on one room at a time, only moving on when the room has been completely cleaned. Other people like to focus on a single task, such as dusting or reviewing photographs. No matter what method you choose, think about the one that will help you be productive, and settle on that.

Do you have the right equipment?

You don’t need much equipment to declutter your home, but some items will help. Boxes and bin bags help you remove items and create bundles to review later. Also, if you are going to clean your home as well as declutter it, you need cleaning equipment.

When you have all these aspects in place, starting the decluttering process becomes simpler. The benefits of a good decluttering are well worth pursuing.

We know a lot of people are looking for guidance and assistance right now. If we can be of any assistance, we will. Therefore, if you have any housing market questions, please contact Merrys today, and we will be happy to help.
