“15 Surprising Items Secretly Sabotaging Your Space—And Why You Should Get Rid of Them Now”
Removing excess furniture can be helpful when it’s time to move to a new home. Moving large pieces of furniture can be a hassle, and many people leave behind items they no longer need or want. Declutter your home ahead of time and get rid of any excess furniture.
9. Broken or Unwanted Jewelry
Are broken and unusable pieces of jewelry swimming in your jewelry box and bedroom dressing table? They soon become unsightly clutter. You can sell the good pieces to a jeweler. Many jewelers offer cash for gold or silver; some will even buy damaged or broken pieces.
And if you have sentimental pieces you don’t want to part with, consider repurposing them into something new, like a charm bracelet or necklace. This makes perfect use of the broken pieces.
10. Unmatched Things
See those socks whose partners got a secret divorce? They must go, together with unmatched gloves and shoes whose partners haven’t recovered. We all have that one drawer or basket where we throw such items, hoping their match will be found someday. However, it’s time to face reality and get rid of them.
Unmatched things only contribute to clutter and take up space in your home. Instead of holding onto them, don’t donate them (no one else wants an unmatched sock) and throw them in the trash immediately.
11. Broken Brooms and Mops
Broken brooms and mops are no longer as clean as they used to be and are quite unsightly. Although essential in every home, they can easily accumulate over time, especially if you don’t dispose of the broken ones. Keeping broken brooms or mops in your home makes cleaning more difficult and less efficient.
