Top Storage Solutions & Tips for Decluttering Your Home

With Christmas but a distant memory and 2018 well under way, it’s time to restore some order to your house - that means decluttering!

Have you got too many new toys for your little ones, meaning older ones are going unplayed with? Perhaps you've got a wardrobe of unused clothes taking up unnecessary space?

Luckily for you, B&M are here to help with some superb storage solutions and tips on how to declutter your house.

Vaccum Storage Bag

Perhaps one of the best ways of storing unused clothes is the Vacuum Storage Bag.

Place a pile of clothes inside one of these bags, lay it flat and suck the air right out with a vacuum. The space it saves is incredible and the area it now takes up is miniscule, so you can store it on top of wardrobes, under beds or even at the back of closets.

Tips for how to Declutter your Home

Decluttering your home can be a difficult thing to do. Where do you put all of that stuff? Where do you find the time to do it all? Well don’t worry, we have a few tips to help you on your way to a cleaner house.

• Clean one room a day: Focus entirely on just one room on a certain day. Once it’s done, take a seat and relax until tomorrow when you challenge another room.
• Give away unused clothes: Haven’t worn that dress for three months? Give it to charity. Do this for all of your untouched clothes and you’ll have a clearer wardrobe.
• Learn to hate clutter! Once your home is tidy, jump on any bit of clutter and get rid of it. You’ll soon get used to tidying up while on autopilot.
• The Three Box Method: Line up three boxes: 1) keep, 2) throw out, 3) donate. Go through your house and choose which box each item deserves. And remember...be ruthless!
