8 Things to Declutter for a More Organized Home
🍋Things you can give away, toss or donate:
1. 👚👖If you haven’t worn it in the past year, it’s time to let it go. Donate what no longer fits or suits your style. This will not only help declutter your closet but also give you more breathing room in your wardrobe.
2. 🧴🧼If you’re not using those extra bottles of shampoos, conditioners or body wash, it’s time to declutter! Donate or toss what’s been sitting untouched.
3. 🧺Old towels&beddings. They just become ugly and it’s also better to change towels every few months to be clean.
4. 🎄Christmas wrapping papers. If you’re never going to use it next year, recycle it! If it’s brand new like mine, donate or give away it! I like to get new design every year.
5. 🛋️ Decorative items that no longer fit your style or just dust? Time to pare them down.
6. Used water bottles. Got a pile of bottles collecting dust? Let go of the ones don’t use and keep only the ones you love.
7. 💄Makeup brushes, tools, cosmetics and skincare that don’t use anymore. Beauty products don’t last forever. Not only will this free up space, but it’ll also help you avoid using products that could harm your skin.
8. 📱 Old phones, other devices like iPads/kindles, or outdated chargers.
I don’t know how to deal with old phones yet. I still have my iPhone 7😂 What’s the best way to deal with them? Do you recycle, donate, or keep them as backups? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Decluttering can significantly improve your mental well-being and make your space feel more inviting. Start with clothing you haven't worn in a year—donate or sell items that no longer fit your style. In the bathroom, check for expired beauty products and toiletries collecting dust; toss or donate those that no longer serve you. Old bedding and towels should be replaced periodically; not only do they harbor bacteria over time, but fresh linens can also enhance your comfort and hygiene. Don’t forget about holiday supplies like wrapping paper that you might not use again. Evaluate decorative items, too; let go of those that are just collecting dust or don’t match your current taste. Remember to sort through kitchen gadgets and utensils; often, we hold onto items we no longer use. Electronic waste can pile up quickly; consider recycling or donating old devices and chargers—many organizations accept these donations to refurbish or recycle responsibly. Finally, ask friends or family if they’d like to take something off your hands, or host a garage sale to declutter and make some money! Every little bit contributes to a more organized and tranquil living space, setting a positive tone in your home environment.
Honestly I really need to do this. Especially since we just moved in end of November. I feel like I have no organization in my house.
