Smart Design Tips For Diminishing Clutter

Smart Design Tips For Diminishing Clutter-Chispa MagazineDo you constantly feel like your home is a mess and a jumble? We feel you. It can be a nightmare coming home to a house that looks like a pigsty. Remember when you were little and your parents used to say that? But, now you’ve got your own home it feels so true doesn’t it? As the old saying says: what goes around, comes around. But, if you’re determined not to give up, we have got some tips that you can try.

Use A Minimalist Design
What is a minimalist design exactly? A minimalist design is often used in show homes as well as decor magazines. It’s a way to show off the best features of your home without cluttering it. You can start with the seating in each room. Just make sure that there is only enough seats for however many people live in your house. If you have guests around, you can always bring some chairs down from out of the attic. As well as this, you shouldn’t over accessorize a room. We think a lot of people make the mistake of filling rooms with knick knacks to make them seem more lived in. But, if you’re trying to decrease home clutter that’s the last thing you want.

You should also think about buying stylish furniture for your home. It will look great with the new design of your home. Look for simple furniture that isn’t too extravagant or bold. Your question now is probably what to do with the furniture you’re not using.

Storage?
If you think you’re going to use your old furniture again, you can put it in storage. Either in the attic or you can rent out a storage facility. But this option can be quite costly. Instead, you could just throw it out. There’s a good chance that once you have put it in the attic it won’t come out again so why keep it? It is just taking up space in your home.

Hidden Tech
Once you’ve started changing the way you design and decorate your home, you should find it looks a lot less cluttered. But you’ll probably find that the biggest culprit of clutter is still causing havoc in your home. That’s the technology you own from the TV to the Blu-Ray player and games console. All this tech takes up space in your house and makes it look a mess. The answer? Cabinet maker, Amos Groth offers some brilliant storage solutions for tech. Once your tech is out of sight and mind, you’ll find your home looks a lot tidier.

Bigger On The Inside
Finally, if you want your home to look more spacious than it actually is your best option is to repaint the rooms. Repainting the rooms a cream or light colour will make them look a lot grander. Again, this will help reduce the look of clutter and make your home look stunning again.
