We’re all guilty of accumulating a little more than we need. Here are the 6 things we’d focus on de-cluttering first in our homes:
1️⃣ Your kitchen counters collect everything
Mail, cutting boards, supplements, kids projects, small appliances… Find a new home for everything. If you’re selling, clear off as much as possible before photos and showings
2️⃣ Cords and chargers you don’t use
Loose cords throughout the house can look messy, and be a hazard for kiddos & pets. Put unneeded cords away and try getting strips that cover loose cords to clean up the space.
3️⃣ The chair that holds your closet
That chair in your room (or bench, or hamper…). It’s covers in discarded laundry, bags, or shoes. Clear it off to help make your space feel more open and tidy
4️⃣ Kid stuff everywhere
We know how quickly this happens…and how easy it is to just let it be. But toys, backpacks, sports gear, and art supplies can start to take over every space. Go through the stuff your kiddos don’t need anymore and donate them so you can find a home for everything. It’ll make the whole space feel calmer.
5️⃣ Bathroom products on every surface
Take a moment and toss the products you haven’t touched in ages, the empty shampoo bottles and lotions. Under the sink organizers are a fantastic purchase to help organize everything to make your space feel clear. If you’re selling, buyers need to see the usable space.
6️⃣ Too much furniture
If there isn’t a clear walkway in a living space or there’s one spot at the dining table you can’t actually fit in because of a credenza, it might be time to think about moving some furniture. Removing a large chair that takes too much space or a dresser that crams a bedroom can make you feel like you have more space
These are some of the little things we loom for when we help clients get their homes ready for the market. You don’t have to make your home feel empty. The goal is to give buyers enough space to really see it. These tips can also just make your home space feel fresh and easier to live in.
