26 Things To Declutter in Your Space
We are quickly approaching the sixth month of quarantine and social distancing due to coronavirus *insert shocked emoji here*. If you would have told me that we would still be in quarantine in SEPTEMBER, I would have laughed and thought you were crazy. But like it or not, the coronavirus is still pervasive, and therefore staying home and social distancing is still necessary.
Since I’m home pretty much all day every day, I’ve noticed items around my home that I either no longer use, no longer like, or no longer need. I’ve been itching to do an all-around refresh in my life (which is a whole other story) but my space is a major part of that.
With decluttering on the mind, I thought I’d share some of the things that I was getting rid of in my space. So here are 26+ things to declutter from your home!
living room
Old magazines/newspapers
Video games, CDs, DVDs
Unused board games
Useless decor items (posters, knick knacks,
Burned out candles
Books (you’ve never read or won’t re-read)

Expired food (check food in the pantry and condiments)
Old and stained tupperware
Old cookware

Clothing you haven’t worn in at least 1 year
Old special occasion clothing (prom dresses, bridesmaids dresses, going out outfits, etc.)

Unworn accessories (scarves, hats, belts, gloves, etc.)

So that wraps up my decluttering list. I hope this post was helpful and inspired you to take a look at the things you don’t need, use, or want in your space. Let me know in the comments if there are any other items you’d recommend decluttering. Thanks for supporting the blog!
