Clutter-Free Home: How Do You Achieve It?

By Justine Lee

Do you cringe at the thought of having a friend showing at your doorstep unannounced? Do you feel embarrassed inviting your co-worker for a dinner at home? Do you prefer retreating in spas than staying at home during weekends to get some rest and relaxation?

If most of your answer is yes, don't you think it's time to admit that you have a cluttered home?

A cluttered home has overflowing storage areas and displaced items in every part of the house - from burgeoning basements to overstuffed closets, from mislaying mails to disparate objects on the wall. These overflows are often a result of impulsive buying, accidental collections and emotional attachment to objects.

In worst scenarios, clutter is an energy sapper that takes emotional toll and robs you and everyone that lives in your home of domestic joy. It can also affect your personal and professional relationships with people particularly when things spiral out of control.

So before that happens, you need to break certain habits. You need to avoid accidental collections and not feel disappointed when discarding things. Otherwise, you'd get a reality check through other people's eyes like that terrified look your friend cannot hide upon seeing the clutter at your home.

You can find the following pointers handy when you make a resolve to declutter your home. First, a one-size-fits-all solution works only as temporary solutions. If you want long-term results, you must find an approach that fits to your lifestyle. Two, you can't do it all at once. So begin to break the project into steps and make a schedule for decluttering of every corner in your house.

Making an inventory of your changing needs is also a must because it will help you distinguish the things that you need from those that needs to be discarded. If after discarding things you find that your space is still not enough to accommodate your belongings, renting a self-storage unit would be a good option.

Companies that provide storage in Singapore conduct business with residential and commercial owners. The terms they provide and the self storage solutions they offer are often flexible to help you meet your distinct needs and allow you to have control over your rented Singapore storage space.
