Looking for decluttering<\/a> tips to help you manage clutter in your home<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you looking for a few smart ways to distinguish clutter from your everyday belongings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We often tend to think of clutter as small bits and pieces of paper or miscellaneous items<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, clutter can also take the form of large, and rather obvious items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, we can sometimes have large items of clutter sitting in a room and not even realize we are living in a cluttered environment<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you’ll find three smart tips to help you declutter almost any type of room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tips that follow are general in nature and can be applied to pretty much any room of the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, these tips will give you some food for thought when it comes to removing unwanted or unnecessary items in your living space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove items THAT belong in OTHER roomS.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Items should be stored in the area of the home in which they are most suited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A frying pan would be more at home in the kitchen<\/a> rather than the living room and a collection of work receipts would be better off in a home office filing cabinet.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, things don\u2019t always go as planned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have temporarily placed an item on a countertop, table, or near a piece of furniture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you were inadvertently distracted or interrupted in the process; you answered the door or telephone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of how items ended up in a room, it is rather easy to put things back in order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you have to do is take a look around any room of your home and evaluate the contents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do the contents of the room accurately reflect the room\u2019s function? Do any items look conspicuously out-of-place? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which items are stored in the wrong area or location? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you do this, it\u2019s just a matter of putting things back where they belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

recycle, donate, or trash ITEMS.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A simple way to declutter any room is to take care of those items which have been clearly marked as recycling or trash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some may view this act as tidying or cleaning up a room, but another way to view this is as the final completion of a previous organization or decluttering project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a quick example for you: you may spent the last few weeks decluttering your bedroom closet.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You packed items into garbage bags and planned to drop off clothes at the local donation center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet for some reason or another, you were unable to complete the task at that very moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t yet guessed, now is a great time to finally take care of that, and any other previously postponed tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What types of previously packaged and ready-to-go items do you have in your home? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These packages can take almost shape and form: magazines and newspapers bundled up in twine and ready for recycling or a gift bag or care package for a close friend or a neighbor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about a shopping bag or two of books to be donated to your local library or defunct and dismantled electronics that have been prepared for recycling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove and return items that don\u2019t belong to you.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another way to declutter<\/a> items from your home is to return items to their rightful owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be surprised at what you currently have sitting in your home that\u2019s taking up valuable storage and living space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have recently borrowed a couple of folding chairs from a friend or a wrench from a neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only will you return items to their rightful owners, you’ll have\u00a0fewer items taking up space in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth setting aside a few minutes to take inventory of any and all borrowed items in your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may already have a mini list of items already in your head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or you may want to start from scratch and work your way through each room of the home, focusing on one area at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you may start in your kitchen and discover a glass casserole dish that belongs to your neighbor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, you may start in your master bedroom closet find a dress and belt borrowed from your best friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tip also applies to any items you may have been holding on to for a friend or family member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if you\u2019re tired of staring at that giant orange vase of your cousin\u2019s in your living room or that collection of your brother\u2019s vinyl records in your den? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the necessary arrangements to return the item(s) in question to their owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
