Having to part ways with some of your favourite items is hard. We know that perhaps there are a some things in you home that you don’t use often (or ever) but they have such great sentimental value to you that you just can’t throw them away. Then again, there those items that most of us keep for the sake of keeping and the only purpose they serve is to clutter our space. Many people don’t place enough importance on decluttering, but indeed, it is essential process that has to be present in every home. Why do we say so? We can give you at least 5 good reasons why decluttering is important.
Helps to Keep Your Home Healthy and Safe
Decluttering means getting rid of stuff that is rarely used or not used at all. In the process of that, you would inevitable perform some cleaning and disinfecting. Imagine an old piece of furniture that hasn’t been moved for very long. There is probably a lot of little things lost behind or under it, tons of dust and germs that could be harmful to your family. Removing clutter and cleaning after it ensures that your home is safe from bugs and viruses that can make you and your loved ones seriously ill.
Creates Space
Well, that’s an obvious reason to declutter - release more space in your home, which you can enjoy in any way you’d like. It could mean more space for the children to run around and play, or enough room for you to do exercise at home or throw a few dance moves when you don’t feel going out. Also, sometimes you need to get rid of the old stuff to get new and much better stuff.
Improves Air Quality
Decluttering is also closely related to improving the air quality in a room, because it releases more free space and allows for the air to circulate freely all through. This is why you should make every effort to have as little clutter as possible in your bedrooms. Good air quality promotes better sleep at night.
Boost your Productivity and Creativity
It’s scientifically proven that clean and tidy environment increases the productivity and creativity levels. It’s essential for your working space to be neat and well organised in order for you to be efficient. But this also applies to the places where you spend your leisure time - like the living room, for example. It’s worth spending the time!
Helps with Depression
Yes, science is backing this statement too! Decluttering your home will provide a change in the environment, which has a positive impact on your mental wellbeing. Since we already mentioned that a tidy space makes the air quality better and promotes sounder sleep, decluttering will help with insomnia, which is often part of depression symptoms.
