SAI’ll never do these three things now that I’ve decluttered our home because an easy to tidy & clean home is worth more than any stuff I could buy on Amazon.
But first, make sure you’re following @sarahalthouse for all your decluttering tips!
1️⃣ Buy home decor just because it’s cute if it doesn’t fit my style.
I call it HomeGoods blackout. (But it could also easily be called the Amazon or Target blackout.) We buy stuff that looks cute there but doesn’t end up working in our home.
I’ve since taken the time to really find my style and now when I see something cute but not my style, I admire it at the store and put it back.
2️⃣ Make impulse purchases regardless of how cheap they are.
A “great deal” is not a great deal if it only becomes clutter.
Plus, our homes simply do not have space for every great deal out there.
3️⃣ Say “yes” to every freebie or hand-me-down.
Personally I love hand-me-down clothes for my kids and even myself! But I’ve also learned to say no, thank you upfront if I don’t think it will work for us.
As for freebies, I understand the excitement of getting something free. But if it’s free, it’s likely not good quality and will become future clutter real quick.
What’s one of these resonates the most with you?
