Ready to wash away 2021, and turn it into a distant memory? 2021 is unlikely to have been anyone’s favourite year, but 2022 is fast approaching and with it the chance of a fresh start. That means that now is the perfect time to declutter your home, and ensure that you start the New Year the right way. Here’s how:

Practical and Environmentally Friendly

When it comes to choosing the right products to help you organise and declutter your home, there are two main factors you should take into consideration. Not only should each item be practical, designed to serve a purpose and solve a problem, it should also be environmentally friendly. Eco friendly storage solutions are easier to find than you think, and they enable you to look after your home environment whilst looking after the planet at the same time. So, what pieces do you need? That will depend on what your main storage problem is:

If You Can’t Contain Your Home Office:

If paperwork spills from every drawer and chaos reigns supreme then it’s time to bring your home office back to order. The first step will be to go through each document and decide what you do and don’t need to keep. Once you have a clear idea of how much will be staying, you can start to invest in storage solutions. A good Stationery Supplier will have everything you need. We recommend investing in Bankers Box by Fellowes magazine files to organise and store all of your paperwork: you can use as many of these as you need and they will make it easy to categorise your documents so you can always find what you need. In the event that you have a lot of such supplies and large equipment that you don’t use now, but may come in handy in the future, you might need more room to store them all. Maybe you can find a self-storage unit, such as those offered by Otto self storage or similar storage management firms, that can take care of your extra storage needs.

If Clutter Dominates Your Living Space:

Struggling to contain the clutter in your living space? It’s time to release your inner Marie Kondo! Ask yourself if you really need each item and if it brings you joy. If the answer is no then sell it or donate it. Once your living space is feeling more minimalist and serene, invest in eco-friendly waste paper bins for every room, so that no one will ever feel tempted to let the clutter build up again.

If Your Kids Are Taking Over Your Home:

Life with children can be defined as noisy, messy, and plenty of fun. But containing the mess can feel impossible! To help get their love of ‘stuff’ under control, give each of your children a Really Useful Storage box where they can keep their favourite things. Anything they don’t love enough to put in the box can be donated to charity. Really Useful Storage boxes are sturdy, stackable, and transluscent, making it easier for your children to find the toys they’re looking for without tipping the whole box on the floor. You’ll be amazed at the difference it will make to the clutter around your home!
