3 Signs You’re Holding Onto Too Much Stuff
Many homeowners hold on to old belongings and useless stuff, failing to realize how much it negatively impacts their lives. Getting rid of stuff is a great way to make your home feel lighter while also eliminating the emotional burden.
If you aren’t sure if you’re holding onto too much stuff and maybe think you don’t need to get rid of anything, check out the list below and see if it’s time for you to contact a hauling service.
Unlivable Space
A clear sign you’re holding onto too much stuff is if you have unlivable space. Every home should have maybe one or two rooms dedicated to storage that couldn’t otherwise be used for anything else. If you have a large rec space filled with boxes and very few places to sit, this stuff is not only taking up space, but it is eliminating your chance to use the space to benefit your life.
Going through your old belongings and getting rid of things you haven’t used in at least a year can free up space and make it livable again. While your house may seem small right now, it’s most likely because you’re just taking up space with useless belongings.
You Can’t Find Anything>/h2>
The more stuff you have, the more likely you will lose items. Homeowners who are continually having to look for items around their house tend to have too much stuff. If you have a living room with a wall of bookshelves, but the bookshelves are cluttered in tons of items that aren’t books, you’re just creating an extra hassle for yourself.
People spend countless hours looking for items, and it can be frustrating and give you headaches. But if you take action and get rid of these old belongings and free up space, you will find that you don’t lose items anymore. The less time you’ve been looking for stuff, the more time you can spend enjoying your home, making memories with your family.
Your Home Never Looks Clean
Do you have a garage where you tend to store many items, and every time you go to clean, the results are unnoticeable? A clear sign that you’re holding onto too much stuff is if your home never looks clean. Your home has spaces like drawers and cabinets to tuck away your item so that things remain tidy. However, if your drawers and cabinets are overflowing, you will begin putting things on countertops, in corners, and on open shelving.
By having all these items out in the open, things will always look a little dirty and untidy. While you may be used to living amongst the clutter, anytime you have guests or family over; they may find your home uninviting. Not only this, but all this stuff out in the open is just a dust trap.
