Let’s say that your home renovation project was a success. Some congratulations are in order!
Let’s say that your home renovation project was a success. Some congratulations are in order! After all, getting the job done does take a while, even when you have an expert home builder helping you out. So although decluttering might seem like a monumental, almost impossible task, it doesn’t have to be! Just read our guide on how to do it.
Organize Items By Category
First things first – the proper organization is key. Go room-by-room so you don’t accidentally overwhelm yourself. Everything that goes into the bedroom can get its own category, as can seasonal items you want to decorate your home with for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. Discard unwanted items by donating them or giving them to friends and family; otherwise, especially if they’ve outlived their usefulness, then it might be time to part with them a little bit more permanently. Although creating categories can eat up time, it will help in the long run when it comes to decluttering after a home renovation is complete.
Gather Up Leftover Materials
What materials are left behind now that the home renovation is complete? Let this question guide you for the second phase of the cleanup effort. Paints and brushes should be removed and put away or otherwise disposed of; figure out if any rooms still need some painting retouches.
Switch to Minimal-Looking Lights
Protecting your light fixtures is a big deal. Nowhere is this more important than when it comes to renovating or remodeling your home. Bigger chandeliers are probably unnecessary now, and you don’t really need them for illumination if more low-key lighting can work instead.
Look Around for Duplicates
With all of that behind you, it’s time to move on. Another piece of advice we have for you is to look around for duplicates. What exactly does this mean? Many duplicate items can stack up, especially in the kitchen and the living room. Other examples of duplicate items include dishware, cutlery, pillowcases, placemats, and so on. Keep what you actually use, and get rid of the ones you don’t.
