For many, the thought of rightsizing their home can feel daunting, and they may ask themselves, “Where do I start?” To help you navigate this task, we have put together a helpful guide.
THE RULE OF ONE THIRD
To help declutter your home in preparation for an upsized lifestyle, aim to reduce your contents to one-third.
SORT YOUR WAY TO SELL, GIFT & DONATE
Label three tubs with ‘SELL’, ‘GIFT’, and ‘DONATE’, and as you make your way through your home, simply place items in the relevant tub.
ONLINE GARAGE SALE
Gone are the days of hoping you sell items out of your garage. Facebook can be a quick, easy and free way to list items for sale. Simply list an item for sale in Facebook Marketplace, and any interested buyers can message you through the Facebook application. Once you agree to a price, they can pick up the item from your home, an agreed meeting place, or you can post it.
To avoid any scams, we recommend accepting cash payments.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME
Some items may hold sentimental value, and you may not be able to easily decide what you want to do with them. If you find yourself in this predicament, place the item in a tub labelled ‘Re-Evaluate’. That way, you are not rushed into making a decision, and you can revisit it at a later date.
SMART STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Each of our home designs offers plenty of storage space. For those looking for additional storage space, we recommend introducing furniture with extra shelves or cupboards. A coffee table with drawers is a smart way to hide remotes, books, and magazines.
