Declutter and Feel Better
Add 'Declutter Home' to your New Year Resolutions! A clean mind, body, and soul are great, but what about your home? A decluttered home is the fresh start we all need. As Realtors, when we list your home we say, 'Make your home look like a showroom!' Whether you're staying or moving, you've got to clean. Let us help you get started!
If you need assistance, your Boulevard Realtor can provide staging advice or referrals to home organizers and movers.
Start with a basic cleaning spree before tackling furniture. Pull everything out of closets, pantries, and drawers. Go room by room, emptying closets and making piles. Ask if each item excites you, fits, or has been worn in the last year. If the answer is 'no,' toss it! Keepers go back in the closet. Reward yourself with those fancy hangers you've been eyeing.
Time to banish clutter from your shelves and countertops! Clear everything off and only keep what screams 'designer home' or 'showroom'. Essentials first: bathroom gets hand soap, candle or plant; kitchen gets hand soap, stylish utensils, a fruit bowl, and a small plant. The rest goes into your now clean drawers, closets, and pantries. Yes, that includes your mixer bowl and toaster!
I know your resolution had you at the gym the first week of January, so let's put those muscles to use moving some furniture! Don't stress about making piles. Just take a step back and look at the room. Do you really like that side table? Does anything block foot traffic? Does everything flow nicely? If you need a hand, your Boulevard Realtor is just a phone call away. We help clients stage their homes every day!
Are you a bold maximalist or a secret hoarder? Maximalism is fun and purposeful, while hoarding is just clutter chaos. We know it's tough to let go of sentimental furniture, but it's time to say goodbye to the unused pieces. After all, how do you think antique stores got so successful? Let someone else adore your old treasures!
