Starting with the closet is one of the best bedroom decluttering rules we can offer, and clothes that are too small should be one of the first things that you remove. As well as creating visual clutter, seeing them hanging there unworn day after day can bring about negative feelings.
‘If you have unworn clothes in your closet reserved for when you go up or down a size, consider how expensive they are and how hard they’d be to replace. Consider donating them to someone who could make use of them right now. If there are items you absolutely love and you’re adamant you’ll one day wear again, box them up and store them out of sight so they’re not taking up valuable storage space’, says professional organizer Ben Soreff of House to Home Organizing.
If you’re really struggling to let go, try and remember that having less clothes isn’t a bad thing; it allows you to fully enjoy those items you do love to wear, and makes it a lot quicker to find a feel-good outfit in the morning, too!
