Clutter can weigh us down mentally and emotionally. Even decluttering a few small items makes a surprising difference. Here are 50 ideas to get you started:
Toss or donate shoes you never wear because they rub your feet raw. Value comfort – ditch the pinchy heels stashed in your closet.
If it’s not on your walls, art has no purpose. Either hang that print tonight or gift it to a true art lover.
Free your home of bubble wrap, packing tape, and dusty cardboard boxes. Pass them along to a friend mid-move.
That frosty lasagna from 2018 has got to go. Toss expired, questionable freezer foods – or brave one last taste before you say goodbye.
Unidentifiable srirachas and ketchups lurk in fridges worldwide. Part with half-empty sauces you never drizzle on your food.
Bid adieu to ketchup-splattered tees and holey softball jerseys. Repurpose into cleaning rags or send to textile recycling.
Marie Kondo would cringe at your stockpile of backup undies. Keep enough for laundry days – excess just takes up precious drawer space.
Let go of dusty cookbooks that never leave the shelf. You have the internet’s limitless recipes at your fingertips.
Elastic hair ties seem to multiply in drawers. Keep only your go-to styles and colors. Set the rest free.
Don’t store gifts purely out of guilt or obligation. The giver likely won’t mind if you re-gift that hideous sweater.
Too many plants cluttering up your home? Give extras to green-thumbed pals. Or research the best air-purifying varieties and curate your collection.
Spent candles serve no purpose. Toss waxy remnants of fires past – or decant into votives for one last hurrah.
Pretty perfume bottles, unique beer bottles – resist the urge to display your empties. Upcycle or toss thoughtfully.
Musty wool buried in the far reaches of your closet? Donate unused sweaters to charity so they can warm some shoulders.
If you haven’t popped in a DVD since 2009, it’s time to unload the clutter. Sell, donate or convert to digital.
