No More Clutter
9 out of 10 times a home grows unaccommodating because it has become so cluttered. The other 1 unfortunate is usually because something bad happened in the home, which is extremely hard to cover up. Let’s hope your situation is just unwanted clutter. And it certainly is easy to accumulate a fair amount of clutter over the years, especially if you partake in several hobbies.
A cluttered space always offers a cluttered mind and feel. In addition to this, until you get rid of that clutter, you won’t be able to see the full potential of the space. Starting with the clutter is the must-first step. It’ll also feel like you have accomplished something huge when you are done and give you the confidence and desire to continue on this quest.
Don’t know where or how to start? That’s okay, there honestly really is no wrong approach, but the most strategic would be starting with what doesn’t need to be there. Do you have ironing boards in the living room or kitchen? Have plates and utensils made it into the bedroom? Maybe all your work is cluttered around the dining room table. All that must go to its designated areas. Maybe it’s just trash and unneeded clutter everywhere.
Give us a call and we’ll get it out of your way immediately. Don’t even worry about bagging it up and hauling it to the curb because we can do that for you. That’s just how far our junk removal services are willing to go.
Get Straightened Out
If decluttering is the first most strategic step the second best approach is organizing. Once you can see what you’re working with you’ll need to take steps so you don’t end right back at the same place. The probable best way to do just this is with designated storage. The lack of storage is probably a good explanation as to how your space got so cluttered in the first place.
Simple folders, storage bins, file cabinets, 5-gallon buckets, or shelves can go an extremely long way. Anything that helps you get the items up off the floor will create so much potential workable space that it won’t even be funny. Now, when we mention organization, we aren’t just necessarily referring to organizing the accessories. We are talking about total organization. Everything from furniture to lighting must be organized in the most effective ways possible.
Closet Purge
Although you are probably in the area daily, you likely cringe just at the thought of entering this space. That’s understandable. A closet is the best place to keep things out of sight, out of mind. That’s why they are usually the first to get cluttered. When tackling this task at this stage, you’ll be able to do so with open eyes and strong vigor.
It’ll likely be a task that’ll require both. Purging your closet can also be extremely rewarding and exciting at times because you’ll likely uncover items you forget about or thought you lost altogether. The best way to approach the closet is by creating three different piles. A save pile, a donation pile, and a toss pile.
It should be pretty obvious as to which items should go where. From there, you can give us a call and we’ll handle the rest for you. Whether it is a trip to the donation store or the dump, we’ll be the ones making the journey so you can get back to getting your home in order.
Go Greener
The hardships faced by many today are not hidden. The prices of everything are simply reaching unprecedented levels. This is another major contributing factor to why people are putting off remodels and organizational efforts. However, with a bit of strategic planning, you can get a lot done without spending a whole lot of money.
All this simply means is that by making your home a bit more energy efficient, you’ll not only be doing the environment a great justice, but you’ll stand to benefit financially as well. Something everyone needs right now is a little bit more financial stability. By spending just a little bit of money upfront, you can upgrade some of your home’s devices and achieve a more modern look and feel while also saving yourself some energy consumption costs in the process. It’s a win-win!
Change those traditional lights to LED bulbs, install timers to make sure everything goes off at a certain time, get rid of leaky outdoor spigots or hoses, and even a new thermostat can do wonders for energy conservation.
Safety First!
You can dress up your home as well as you want, but without practicing proper safety, you aren’t doing yourself or your family any favors. Safety should always be a priority and now is the time to tackle it. Make sure your smoke detectors and smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are up to date and in working order.
Do you have working fire extinguishers handy in the appropriate places? Now might also be a great time to upgrade your perimeter defenses. There are some pretty amazing advances in the field.
Minimizing Can Be A Good Thing
Have you ever heard the saying, sometimes less is more? It’s true and it could not apply more when it comes to your home and lifestyle. Adapting a mentality like this will help prevent future accumulation of clutter along with an entirely new outlook on life.
The best way to tackle this is by taking a harsh approach. After getting everything decluttered and organized walk through the home and simply do away with anything that doesn’t spark joy, isn’t needed, or has no emotional value.
Plan For Future Improvement Projects
With everything organized, you’ll have an entirely new outlook on your home and life. You’ll likely already see the potential for other future home projects. If this is the case, there is no need to tackle such projects immediately. Take some time to do a little strategic planning.
Doing this will not only offer a more strategic approach, but you’ll have more time to shop and research. Painting, retiling, or even new flooring are all great projects to take on that will offer the most profound impacts.
Whatever project you take on next, you’ll likely find yourself left with a mess. Don’t put off dealing with this, otherwise, you’ll end up right back up in the same shape. Deal with it the easiest way possible by giving our local office a call. We’ll come out and haul away all your trash and undesirables.
