Never Buy These Things If You Want Clutter-Free Home
CLUTTER-FREE HOME – Here are the ten (10) things you shouldn’t buy if you want a clutter-free home.
Impulse purchases are perfectly natural on payday or any other average day as you head to the neighborhood store. But if your intention is to save more money for a significant future purchase, like a reasonably priced house and lot for sale, impulse shopping will be damaging to your financial goal. Additionally, purchasing goods you won’t use in the end just adds to the clutter in your house and lot in the Philippines.
Every homeowner wants a clutter-free living environment. In addition, most people agree that simply seeing a clean, tidy, and organized home can bring about a strange sense of happiness. Therefore, you should seriously consider refraining from purchasing items that contribute to unneeded clutter if you want your home to look tidy and organized.
Avoid these purchases that only clutter your home
Consider using this online guide as an organizing method to achieve the twin goals of saving as much space and money by avoiding the following purchases:
Single-use household items
A number of single-use items are offered online to lure impulsive buyers. These single-use appliances are typically only popular for a short while before losing popularity and falling out of favor. This single-use, occasionally absurd, equipment includes a popcorn maker, quesadilla maker, asparagus steamer, banana cutter, and pizza scissors. To conserve kitchen or cabinet space, choose multifunctional appliances whenever practical.
Too many toys
Toys are unquestionably one of the main causes of clutter in a family with children. If kids already have a lot, you might want to think twice before purchasing any more that will make your house look like a mess of multi-piece toys. Having kids rotate between playing with toys each day might be a smart hack. For instance, if they played with dolls or robots today, have them concentrate on puzzles tomorrow.
Books you’ve felt not to read anytime soon
Sorry, bookworms. When you realize that there is no longer enough room to store all of your books, you may find that hoarding them is therapeutic for you. Make use of this chance to read any books you have that you haven’t read yet in order to clear your room of clutter and avoid purchasing any new books that you know you won’t read anytime soon. And even though the comforting aroma of tangible books is another reason you favor them, think about reading e-books instead of purchasing physical ones to save money.
“Seasonal” outfit and accessories
If you already own a beautiful pair of jackets, why acquire another one? In the Philippines, it’s also almost summer all year long. Except if you reside in a region of the country with extreme cold, like the Cordillera Region in the North, coats and additional layers of clothes are not necessary even during our rainy season. You should refrain from purchasing accessories in addition to clothing that you will likely toss away or simply preserve for nostalgic reasons.
Holiday decorations
It’s tempting to invest in yet another set of Christmas decorations. The greatest course of action, though, and one that is also more environmentally responsible, is to reuse last year’s ornaments. Instead of purchasing new ones and discarding the old ones, you only need to dust them off. Purchasing new Christmas decorations would be completely unnecessary if they are still in excellent condition and function perfectly.
Stationery supplies
When you pass a section of stationery and paper supplies, you can feel inspired to write down your most troubling ideas or to revive your love of the arts by purchasing colored pencils and pastels for your drawings and sketches. All of our purchases of paper and art supplies, however, frequently go unused because of our jobs and other responsibilities.
Wall décor
Wall decor can bring style and visual appeal to your home, but only after you make a ton of impulse purchases that merely get stored in your closet. Along with this, you should also avoid acquiring novelty products that are more decorative than useful. Yes, you need a few serving plates, but just because some of them have adorable designs doesn’t mean you need more.
Multiple sheets
Cotton sheets help a tropical nation like the Philippines deal with the heat even at night. We still might not require several sets of bedding to handle the cuddling weather on rainy days. With just a nice blanket and one sheet, we can survive. In summary, think twice about buying lots of linens, and think about cleaning out your closets by washing your bedding as soon as possible every week.
Decorative pillows
Oftentimes, decorative items create visual clutter. And some of them are the throw pillows you put on the sofa and on your bedroom. They may look visually appealing, but when it’s time to sit or lie down, you’d need to free up space, which will necessitate removing the pillows. Where will you put them if not on the floor or pile them up high on a chair or table?
Extra bins
Ironically, bins and baskets that can help you organize your belongings and keep your home clutter-free can also make it appear messy and crowded. Only a few garbage cans and baskets would be necessary, but make sure they can be tucked away to conserve room.
