Whether you’re a newfound empty-nester, you want to live more of a simplistic life, or you’re no longer able to hike up and down the steps of your 2-story home, downsizing may be the solution for you. This is a monumental decision to make, and it involves multiple steps along the way. Detailed planning and effective decluttering are key components for a successful transition. We’re here to offer helpful tips for a jumpstart to downsizing!
TO KEEP, OR NOT TO KEEP …
Envision your new space with all of your current belongings. You may already feel crammed! Now, think of what you absolutely need, such as your bed and appliances that you may not have at your new home. When it comes to the other furniture, think of how it may fit in the new designated room. Is it bulky? Is it excessive? If so, then you may consider swapping it for something smaller.
In your kitchen, you may no longer need those extra pots, pans, and plates. Therefore, focus on the dishes that you use on a regular basis, getting rid of the unused gadgets as well. To ensure organization and neatness in a clothing closet at your new home, it may be pertinent to reduce the current loads of your clothes and shoes. Ask yourself if you’ve worn it in the past year and if not, then that could be an indicator to get rid of it. If you still have more than what your new closet can hold, then think about your clothes and shoes that you frequently wear each season, getting rid of the items that you seldom wear.
Now that you have an abundance of items that you will no longer need in your new space, try to find a new purpose for them. Donating is a great solution!
DONATE TO A GOOD CAUSE
Giving your unwanted items a new home is a terrific way to minimize landfill waste and preserving our planet’s resources. When you donate to charitable organizations, you are giving back to the community. Many people can benefit from your gently-used items.
You can donate that bulky furniture, those excessive kitchen dishes/gadgets, and your clothes. This will help your downsizing project go smoothly.
Consider giving to charitable places, such as Goodwill, Open Doors of Westfield, Habitat for Humanity, St. Vincent de Paul Society, and Holy Family Shelter Indianapolis. Donating makes a positive impact in so many ways on our planet.
