When you’re in your own home, you have the freedom to create an environment that’s totally tailored to your needs and styles. Whether you prefer a contemporary, minimalist vibe or a cozy, traditional feel, maintaining a clutter-free home can be the most effective way to create a relaxing living environment. To find out why decluttering should be at the top of your To-Do list, take a look at some of the benefits a clutter-free home offers:
Aids Relaxation
They say that a ‘tidy room equals a tidy mind’, and there might be a grain of truth in this age-old expression. When you’re surrounded by clutter, it can be hard to switch off and unwind. If you’re having trouble sleeping or your mind seems to be ‘on the go’ all the time, take a look around you and see if clutter could be contributing to your unrest. Spend a few minutes decluttering and you might be surprised at the impact clearing your surroundings can have on your wellness.
Secure Storage
Decluttering your home doesn’t mean throwing away belongings you cherish. In fact, deciding to declutter your home can help to ensure value or sentimental items are securely preserved. When you work with a full-service moving company, like North American Van Lines, you can have your items carefully packed and moved into secure storage facilities. This enables you to keep special items in a carefully controlled environment and minimizes the risk of damage, breakages, or thefts.
Showcase Your Décor
No doubt you’ve spent a significant amount of time and money on your interior design, so why not make the most of it? When clutter accumulates, it takes away from the aesthetic of a room and draws the eye away from your décor and style. By decluttering, however, you can ensure that your interior design is the main feature in every room.
Improve Home Safety
If clutter builds up, it can increase the risk of accidents occurring. Falls and trips can easily occur when clutter is left to accumulate, for example. However, this isn’t the only way that a cluttered home can impact your health. When you have an array of things in each room, it’s easier for dust to become trapped and, as a result, asthma and allergies can be triggered. If you want to enhance the air quality and reduce indoor pollution, make decluttering a top priority.
Make Some Money
When you’re decluttering, you may come across items you no longer have a use for or goods that you’re not keen on keeping. If so, you can make some money by selling items on online marketplaces or via local ads. Similarly, donating your unwanted items can be a great way to declutter your home and help your local community. If you want to move house soon, then decluttering could even help you to save money, especially if you are hiring a long distance moving company.
Start Decluttering Now
If you’re eager to start transforming your home, why wait? Whether you allocate five minutes or five hours to decluttering, make a start right now will give you the motivation you need to get the job done and begin enjoying your spectacular new interior.

To be honest, I don’t mind clutter so much, although I do have cleaning up fits. In general I would say: a genious mind has the overview over chaos. I am just kidding … but then again … 😉 😀
Lol, I like this saying 🙂👍🌺

I absolutely agree. You’ve written it so succinctly. A great post
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this month on de-clutter, something we need to do from time to time. I will take stock and remove unwanted items. It rings in positive vibes and helps us go unattached, freeing the bond accumulated that may deter growth, psychologically.
My pleasure!
I generally like to keep things in order, but have a tendency to gather lots of stuff “for later”. I have lots of sources for my blog posts (both in traditional paper for as well as on Facebook and other sites). I’ve been meaning to take care of this since last year, but something always got in the way 😀
Now I’ve finally gotten around to managing all that 🙂 Keep your fingers crossed that I can really clean things up, because the clutter pains my order-loving soul 😀
Write those blog posts then! 🙂
I totally agree that a tidy room equals a tidy mind. After I Decluttered my home I could finally sit back and enjoy just being home!
Yes, it’s the best feeling! 🙂👍
I enjoyed this post, as I need as much motivation for de-cluttering as I can get! 😀 those are some great points worth remembering. I especially liked that a tidy room equals a tidy mind.
