“15 Surprising Items Secretly Sabotaging Your Space—And Why You Should Get Rid of Them Now”
Good art fetches good money. Try putting the pieces up for sale and making some decent cash. Many people appreciate art; you can give the unused pieces away as gifts. If you’re an artist, experts recommend using painting material that is less bulky than canvas, such as mixed-media paper.
6. Old Magazines and Newspapers
Old magazines and outdated newspapers are like emotions—everyone has them. Since they’re produced periodically, they can pile up quickly, creating a huge mess and cluttering your space. If you do not need them for anything, create a beautiful bonfire with them or throw them in the recycling bin.
As long as periodicals continue to arrive in the mail, they will pile up quickly again. Consider subscribing to digital versions of your favorite publications to save space and reduce clutter.
7. Clothes No Longer Worn
Is your closet bursting at the hinges with clothes that no longer fit or haven’t been worn in a while? They take up unnecessary space and are among the things you should get out of your house. You may never wear it again if you haven’t worn it in a year.
Most needy people and charities will appreciate a gift of good clothes. For a fun project, you may also repurpose old clothes by making carrier bags or comforters with them (if you simply can’t let them go).
8. Excess Furniture
A home can only have so much furniture, and excess furniture can be a significant source of clutter, making walking around difficult. Whether it’s an old couch you no longer use or a dining table that doesn’t fit your decor, these bulky pieces can take up space that could be better utilized for other purposes.
