Is Your Furniture a Clutter Problem?

Clutter comes in many forms. Mail, toys, beauty product, tools, and other things can all become clutter. Clutter is the main reason why a house looks disorganized. One thing that few people may consider as clutter is furniture.


A room can easily become overcrowded with too much furniture. A small room can look smaller and a large room can look too busy. The easiest way to see if this is a problem in your home is to take a walk throughout your house and look closely at each room. Play with the pieces. Move things out or reposition furniture to see how it looks. Does what you see help the room look more open? Does it feel less cluttered?


If you think the room would look better with less furniture, but you feel you need all the pieces, try combining things. Could you move the clothes out of a dresser in your bedroom and into your closet? Could you remove the coffee table in your living room? An ottoman may work better.


Making your home more livable and attractive are two reasons for home organization. That may mean removing furniture as well as other clutter. Try evaluating your rooms. If you decide you would be better off without some pieces of furniture, donate, sell or possibly use them somewhere else. This is just something to think about as you try to organize your home.
