How To Make Your Home Clutter-Free

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 on weekends to get little rest and relaxation?

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

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

In worst cases, clutter is a source of anxiety and stress and robs you and everyone that lives in your home of domestic joy. It can also ruin your personal and professional relationships with people particularly when things spiral out of control.

So before you lose everything you have to this habit, you should break the cycle now. You need to know what causes you to do and repeat certain behaviors and look at it from a different point of view. That way you'll be able to reassess why you need to get attached to things and buy things you do not even need in the first place.

When you finally decide to declutter your home, there are a few important pointers that you should take note of. One, a one-size-fits-all solution will not have a lasting effect. You have to adapt a clutter-busting solution that is appropriate to your lifestyle. Two, you can't do it all at once. A "one area at a time" strategy is the only possible way to handle this situation.

Making an inventory of your varying needs is also a must. This will help you identify the things that are necessary and the things you need to dispose. If after the inventory you find that you don't have enough space for your things, you can consider renting a self-storage unit.

Companies that provide storage in Singapore cater both to 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.
