Things To Keep In Mind

 1. 3 Months Plan

 If you plan to downsize your home, you should start planning for that three months before you downsize your home. If you do not start to declutter your home before then, it will be too much work to do on the actual day of moving. You can manage this process by starting from smaller things and small furniture items in your living room and bedrooms. After that, you can move towards the bigger furniture pieces and de-clutter your whole home before the downsizing process.


 


 2. Selling/Keeping

Before you downsize your home, it is important to make sure what items you want to sell and which you want to keep. Do not stick to the old things for a long time. This way, you will get rid of the clutter and de-clutter your home more efficiently. Although it is tempting to keep many things, it is always better to sell them and get rid of them for some extra cash. You can even donate the things to needy people or loved ones if you think you are no longer going to use those things. You can organize a garage sale to get rid of the extra things.


 

 3. Digital Documentation

Paperwork and documents can occupy a lot of space in the boxes and garages of homes. If you have any paperwork and documents lying around, you should use advanced technology and save those documents on cloud storage or hard drive. It will save you a lot of physical space, and you will not have to store a lot of videotapes and DVDs. You can also digitally store your pictures and albums and make more space.

 

 4. 2 In 1 Furniture

You can de-clutter and downsize your home by purchasing multifunctional furniture that has 2 in 1 features. You can invest in pull out couches and get an extra bed space whenever you need it.

 

 5. Say No To Wide Furniture
