In this text;  We will give you a few tips to get rid of the things that create a messy atmosphere in your home without you even knowing it.

To begin this work, first try to clarify the purpose of your rooms, your expectations and wishes from them.  In this way, you can decide whether the items in the room are suitable and necessary for your purposes.  

Don't forget to also do some checks and tests before you start.  Some of the items in your rooms may no longer work or function.  This means a lot of items that take up unnecessary space in your home.  Finally, try to decide how happy you are to have the items.  If there are items that do not make you happy or that you do not want to use, choose to get rid of them.

The three basic approaches we have mentioned here will actually shape your process of getting rid of unnecessary items.  Only by considering these points, you can have a much more organized home.  

Of course, when we go into detail, there will be many more topics that we can talk about.  So, let's go through the rooms of our house one by one and talk about unnecessary items, which are the most common cause of clutter.

Things to get rid of in your kitchen

Kitchens are small and small rooms where dozens of different tools are located and are actually the most suitable rooms to disperse.  Sometimes these parts are so many that you can't understand which one you need and how often you use it.  

This, of course, causes a pile of items and therefore clutter.  In order to get rid of this mess, you need to start taking steps by getting rid of the excess equipment.  Yes, you may not be sure of which tool you use and how much, but as we have often repeated in our previous articles, it will not be possible to create a more organized, uncluttered and minimalist home all of a sudden.  

To do this, you need to give yourself some time.  In order to get rid of the excess in your kitchen, you can determine these items over time.  Reducing the excess will not only reduce clutter, but also greatly facilitate the work you do in the kitchen.

In addition to being the rooms where many tools and equipment are located, the kitchens are also our food and beverage warehouses.  We store a lot of supplies both in our refrigerators and in our cupboards.  

However, these supplies, which we sometimes receive in bulk, continue to be stored even if they are out of date or corrupted.  This actually means dozens of other things that take up unnecessary space in our house.  That's why it's necessary to check the condition of the supplies from time to time, and get rid of the spoiled and outdated ones.  This will actually provide you with significant benefits in terms of cleaning.

One of the indispensable elements of Turkish kitchens is bags.  As a habit inherited from our mothers, tens of bags that we keep in case we need them fill our drawers.  Of course, these bags will work in various places.  However, after some point, it may have drawers with unnecessary excess bags.  If we think that there are enough of these bags, it is useful to put aside more and even get rid of some of them if there are too many bags.

What you need to get rid of in your living room

It's time for the room that occupies most of the time we spend at home.  Living rooms are rooms that we can use at different times during the day.  That's why the rooms where we are most affected by their clutter are also at the same time.  

For a more organized and tidy living room, we are sure that you will find many items that you need to get rid of.  Items that we do not even realize about their existence over the years, but that we do not need to use or that we do not want to use directly, can continue to protect the places in the halls.  Getting rid of them quickly will actually give us and our living room the opportunity to breathe.

Old technology products are usually at the top of the unnecessary items in the halls.  Technological products such as dvd players, which were bought before and cannot even be used anymore, continue to fill their places where they last appeared years ago.  You may also think that some of these items will be valuable.  

Then you can also try to sell them.  But if you are not interested in using old technologies, stop waiting and get rid of them as soon as possible.  Of course, this doesn't just apply to the old dvd player either.  Its by-products will also occupy unnecessary space in your living room.  If you don't have a private collection, get rid of your old DVDs as well.

Our halls are sometimes places where our libraries are located.  Even if our main library is in another room, especially magazines and newspapers that we use frequently or that we want to have at hand are located in the halls.  Maybe these magazines that we couldn't read all of them and put aside so that I could continue later, will start to pile up after a while.  

Of course, some magazines are things we want to keep, like books.  However, many of them are out of date due to their periodic content.  In order to have a more spacious hall, it is necessary to remove unnecessary, unused magazines and outdated newspapers.

Finally, let's talk about the missing parts.  It can be a technological tool or a game.  For example, it does not seem possible to use your deck of playing cards, which has a few missing cards.  Try getting rid of them.  You may think that one day I will buy the part, but the last time you felt the need to use it is an indicator of whether you will buy it or not.  

Items that you have not needed for a long time will probably not be needed in the future.  However, it will continue to occupy space in your home.  Therefore, try to get rid of things that are missing, broken or corrupted as soon as possible.

Things to get rid of in your bedroom

Now we come to the room of your house, which is identified with rest.  Relaxing and resting is the last thing we want if your place for a pleasant sleep stresses you in the opposite way.  Therefore, try to get rid of the clutter in your bedroom.  

Due to the fact that it is the room where our clothes are located, the bedroom has a structure that is very suitable for clutter, just like in the kitchen.  Stacks of clothes can quickly turn your room into a battlefield.  We have mentioned in a previous article about organizing your wardrobe to make your bedroom tidy.

Before you start organizing your wardrobe for a more organized bedroom, you need to get rid of the excess.  For this, it is necessary to review our clothes from the beginning.  We know;  Throwing clothes is not an easy decision.  However, be sure to get rid of clothes that are especially worn and that you no longer prefer to wear.  You can be sure that these clothes will not do anything but take up space in your closet.  

You can also consider donating or selling clothes that are in good condition but you don't want to wear on various platforms.  We also take them out of our closets.  If you don't use it, getting rid of it is our most basic philosophy in this process.  Our closets also have an indispensable watchman: lost socks.  

You don't know where, when and how it disappeared and you think it will come out of nowhere, right?  However, there is no point in keeping those single socks if they have not been released until today.  We recommend that you get rid of them as well.  While getting rid of unnecessary clothes in the closets, there will be another item that draws our attention;  outdated hangers.  

These hangers, some of which are broken or bent, will complicate your closet rather than organizing it.  These are also on our to-do list.  And of course, there are old, deteriorated, dried make-up and care materials left in the drawers on the right and left.  These can be overlooked in so many options.  For example, you may not have noticed one dried in nail polish.  It is necessary to check such products at certain times and to remove the ones that do not work.
