Discard, sell, and donate like it’s your JOB!
As you are unpacking in your new place, be vigilant about what fits and what doesn’t. A new home is meant to be exciting, fresh, and invigorating … if anything doesn’t align with that picture, get rid of it! If it does not make you sublimely happy or hold sentimental or monetary value, move on. Sell what you don’t need (local consignment shops or Facebook Marketplace are good options), send your shabbier items to the recycling center, and make an appointment with your local donation service – some will even haul everything away for you! Decluttering is proven to boost your mood and will make your design eye ready to make changes. It will open up your space for more creativity with new pieces. TIP: If you can’t find a place for something, you probably don’t need it.
