Furniture, books, kitchen items, photos, and boxes of memories may take up more space than you realise. <\/p><p>If your parents are considering moving to a smaller home \u2013 or simply want more space and fewer things around them \u2013 it may therefore be a good idea to help them declutter.<\/p><p>But where do you start? Here are 5 tips to make decluttering more manageable. <\/p><h3>1. Declutter at their pace<\/h3><p>It can be tempting to simply get started, but remember that many items may have great sentimental value. What looks like an old chair or a box of papers to you may be tied to many years of memories. <\/p><p>Therefore, talk together about what the goal of the decluttering is. Is it simply to create more space, or is the decluttering part of the preparations for moving to a smaller home? <\/p><p>When you agree on the goal, it is often easier to get started.<\/p><h3>2. Make a plan \u2013 and tackle one area at a time<\/h3><p>Instead of trying to clear out the entire house in one weekend, you can break the task down into smaller parts.<\/p><p>For example, start with the kitchen, a cupboard, or a single room. Sort the items into categories: <\/p><ul><li>Keep<\/li><li>Pass on or sell<\/li><li>Throw away or recycle<\/li><li>Store for later<\/li><\/ul><p>That way, the task becomes more manageable, and you do not have to decide on everything at once.<\/p><h3>3. Start with the easy items<\/h3><p>Start with items that do not have much emotional significance. This could be extra kitchen equipment, towels, old magazines, or things that have not been used for years. <\/p><p>Save photos, letters, heirlooms, and other personal keepsakes for later.<\/p><p>Once you have sorted out some of the easy items, it is often easier to continue with the rest.<\/p><h3>4. Store the things you are not ready to part with<\/h3><p>It does not always have to be a choice between keeping and throwing away.<\/p><p>If your parents want more space at home but are not ready to part with certain furniture, heirlooms, or keepsakes, a storage unit can be a good middle ground.<\/p><p>Here, the items can be kept safe while the home becomes more manageable. It can also be practical if your parents are moving to a smaller home and you do not yet know which items to take with you. <\/p><p>Pack the items in sturdy moving boxes, protect fragile items, and clearly label the boxes with what they contain. That way, it is easy to find the items again. <\/p><h3>5. Create more space \u2013 without saying goodbye to all the memories<\/h3><p>Decluttering is not necessarily about owning as little as possible. It is about creating a home that suits the everyday life you have now. <\/p><p>Some items can be passed on to children or grandchildren, others can be sold or donated, and the items you still want to keep can be stored.<\/p><p>That way, your parents can have more space and a more manageable home, without having to say goodbye to all the things that matter to them.<\/p><h3>Do you need extra space while decluttering?<\/h3><p>At Pelican, you can rent a storage unit if there are items that need to be kept but no longer need to be in the home.<\/p><p>It can be a practical solution during a major clear-out, when moving to a smaller home, or simply when you need a little more space in everyday life.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pelican.dk\/en\/locations\/\">Find a storage unit near
