      3. Downsize Your Home in 5 Simple Steps With Our 2022 House Declutter guide

      After sleepless nights and long days of arrangements, discussions, forms and phone calls, the day has arrived. You are holding the keys to your new house you cannot wait to call your new home. What next? Piles of packing boxes and an overwhelming amount of items are calling your name. How do I downsize my home? – you may ask. With our fool proof guide and removals services at MLW, you will have the most effortless time moving house. Trust us!

      With the increase in prices on house bills as well as properties, you are certainly not alone, as recent research from Mccarthy and Stone shows that now 1 in 3 people are looking to downsize from their current home. Whether you are based in Bristol, Weston Super Mare or the South West, after downsizing with our handy guide, MLW removals will be able to help you further with your house move needs too.

      How to declutter your home for an easy and quick house move?

      Step 1: Gauge the Space Available in your New Flat

      It’s time to put the interior designer cap on and get those measurements out about your new

      MLW removals available vehicleshouse. First ,it’s important to establish what type of space you are moving into – whether it’s a multi-storey flat, a house, bungalow etc – as this might come with limitations of getting your furniture into a specific room.

      Next, you’ll need to find out how much space there is to manoeuvre furniture around, as if your new place is filled with stylish and slim corridors, your current comfy corner sofa may not fit in.

      Then, it’s time to figure out what style you are looking to introduce to your new space. If you are looking to bring a modern and contemporary feel to your living room, you may need to get your local removals company to move your abstract sofa elsewhere.

      With an idea on how much space you have and the style, to take in considerations other factors such as pets, kids and accessibility to really hit the nail on the head with your house moving plan.

      Step 2: Designating a Room for All Things Clutter

      Whilst on the topic of ‘how to save money whilst moving home,’ we advise you to instead of renting a storage space, designate a room to all things you are looking to say good-bye to and dive straight in! Ideally, you would be looking to select a spare room, or a kids’ room which you can use for storage temporarily until the ray of moving a house.

      Once you have selected a room, get that one cleared first, then move on room by room until eventually you have organised and sorted your whole house. What a dream this will be!

      If you are really struggling with finding a space in your home, a great alternative could be using our local storage services, where you can store your beloved belongings for as long as you need, and have them out of sight until you require.

      Step 3: Declutter one room at a time:

      Moving houses and preparing your removals boxes for your

      Decluttering a homeselected local removals company can get overwhelming. That’s why we are here. To help you become the master organiser you never knew you could become. It is also scientifically proven that decluttering your home can reduce stress, fight depression and help you focus. It’s time to go old fashioned, get a notebook out (or the notes app on your phone if you insist) and write down all the rooms in your current house.

      Starting with the first room on your list, it’s time to go through the furniture, and every object in that room and ask yourself. ‘ When did I get this?’, When Did I use this last?’ Can I see myself using this in the next 6 months?’ ‘Is this item fully functional?’ Then act accordingly and put those items into your designated storage room and add them to your list.

      And just like that, you have gone through every room in your house, created an inventory of unwanted home items and have gathered them together in one place.

      If you still feel like it’s an overwhelming task, then take advantage of our packing services where you will be able to sit back, relax and let us pack up your home and transport your goods to your new place.

      Step 4: Find a Solution for getting rid of old furniture, clothes and home items

      You have done the most challenging parts of decluttering your home already. Saying goodbye to a few sentimental items, those clothes you’ve been meaning to wear for the last 4 years, the gigantic set of glassware and cutlery you have accumulated over the years and only use 10% of is a tough job, but you have done it! Now you’ll need to figure out how you will get rid of everything you set your heart to say goodbye to.

      Top 4 platforms for selling unwanted home items after a house declutter:

      • Facebook Marketplace
      • Gumtree
      • Depop
      • Ebay

      Top 4 platforms for giving away your unwanted items for free:

      • Freecycle
      • Nextdoor
      • Facebook Marketplace
      • Gumtree

      What else can I do with unwanted furniture, clothing and home goods after a house removal?

      A great alternative is to consider a few charities and get in touch with them to see if they are available to take in any of the items you own. More often than not they will be able to sell your items and help the fantastic causes they are campaigning for whilst freeing you form the unwanted clutter.

      Another great option is to ask friends and family whether they could make use of your unwanted belongings. Giving them away to those close to you could be a great solution for those items you are saying goodbye to with a heavy heart.

      We booked MLW removals for a long distance move and the whole team were fantastic. Mitch, Jason, Luke and Joe arrived ready to go on time at 6am. I couldn’t believe how efficient they were. They packed up our whole house so quickly and worked around us having a little one too. They were all so friendly and professional. They were all in good spirits even at the end of the job at 5pm knowing that they had a 4 and a half hour journey back. Thanks again to you all for making our move stress free. We are so grateful! Don’t hesitate to book them. They are great at what they do.
