Do you need space? Try to throw away these things that you accumulate at home
Like most, it will probably take a lot of effort to get rid of any of your possessions, whether they are very valuable or banal. That is the reason why you tend to accumulate things at home that you do not use and are depriving you of a space that you end up missing in the long run.
Sometimes it is about objects that cause you feelings of nostalgia for the past, or gadgets that one day you bought thinking you were going to use them and you are still waiting for that moment to arrive. Other times it is simply about things that were useful in their day and required some investment on your part, and that after some reform or renovation of the decoration, you decided to keep in case you could recover them in the future.
In any case, in all likelihood, your drawers, closets, cupboards, shelves, garages and storage rooms tend to accumulate objects that you don't really need. This creates a situation of disorder and a lack of space at home that actually has a simple solution that will affect the image and decoration of your home.
What to throw away in the hall?
First of all, in the hall it may happen that we accumulate unnecessary objects in the compartments of chests of drawers, consoles, shoe cabinets and other common furniture in this area. home. We are talking about old keys, old shoes that we no longer wear, reusable shopping bags, coats and accessories such as hats, scarves, raincoats, gloves, sunglasses, etc. Special mention should be made of bags that, once they go out of style (or are replaced by new models), accumulate almost unconsciously at the entrance of the house or in the dressing room.
The hall is also usually the room where we accumulate letters and advertising brochures, which contribute to that feeling of permanent disorder from the moment you enter the house. And you should not forget to review the umbrella stand to get rid of those umbrellas that are not in good condition.
What you accumulate in the living room
The living room is perhaps one of the most propitious spaces to accumulate things that you don't use. Both old books that do not interest you, and outdated technology devices (and that you do not use, of course). Decorative objects that were given to you one day and you placed by commitment, old photos that you can surely place neatly in an album or even digitize.
Broken or obsolete picture frames, old magazines and catalogues, old artificial plants, unsightly dried flowers, pictures that have yellowed, etc. You do not have to accumulate all that does nothing but subtract from the decoration.
New space in the kitchen
In the kitchen it is also more than likely that you have stored more than necessary objects that you no longer use or that you have not even brand new. Starting with the pieces of old tableware that have been breaking or deteriorating over the years. Everything that is broken, in the trash. If you also keep special crockery, cutlery and glassware that you never see the moment to release or use, you can consider donating them or giving them away to someone who can use them.
Getting rid of a few small appliances that you once thought were a good idea to buy (or were given as gifts) can also give you valuable extra space. Yogurt makers, sandwich makers, hamburger makers, juicers, blenders, bread makers, crepe makers, fondue makers,... Remember how long you haven't used them and consider whether you could get rid of them.
Old or damaged textiles also create a great sense of disorder and an unsightly effect that you can avoid. We are talking about removing tablecloths with stains that will not be removed, torn aprons, frayed rags, burnt oven mitts, discolored rugs and other pieces of fabric that may need to be renewed.
Expired Products
Unused or damaged containers could also be taking up generous space in your kitchen cabinets. If you get down to business with cleaning, you will surely find many without lids or that are no longer useful, both plastic and glass. Likewise, damaged cutting boards, both wooden and plastic.
Finally, if you go through the pantry carefully, you will surely get more than one surprise with products that have expired. Typically, spices, condiments, sporadically used confectionery items and ingredients, alcoholic beverages, etc.
In the cleaning section, surely you can save space and provide a bit of order if you reduce the number of products you use at home. Think about which ones are expendable and get rid of them. You will surely be surprised.
What's left over from your bedroom
Besides the clothes you don't wear and that you hoard in your closets with the hope of recycling them one day (you know you won't, right?), for sure that you can get rid of many other things. Like the shoe boxes that once seemed very useful, but that you keep there only to take up space.
We recommend you check out the jewelry box, where you will discover numerous pieces that you don't use in your day-to-day life and don't like for special occasions either.
Next, the dresser, where you probably store expired cosmetics and makeup products that you have used once or not at all. Not to mention the toiletry bags that you have been collecting without realizing it. Also, samples that you can't wait to use, old or useless hangers, bags and accessories from years ago and that book on the table that stopped making sense when you switched to the electronic book.
Bathrooms with space
Free space is a precious commodity in the bathroom and from time to time a good cleaning of cabinets and drawers is necessary to recover it. In addition to cosmetic and makeup products, you can certainly get rid of certain old, discolored or discolored towels, sponges that you do not use, as well as collections of old brushes and combs with all kinds of shapes and colors.
You should also not forget to remove those small appliances and devices that you do not use and that one day you thought it was a good idea to keep in the bathroom: old hairdryers, irons and curling irons, tongs, thermal brushes, etc.
Likewise, gels and shampoos that you never got to finish, rubber bands, hair ties, clips and hairpins that you don't usually use, as well as plastic containers and travel-size containers that you never use. And, if you keep the medicine cabinet there, it's time to leave it half empty, reviewing the expiration dates. It is something that does not fail!
