With people at home more these days, many are taking the opportunity to declutter, refresh and reorganise. After all, if we are going to spend more time at home, then we might as well make it a pleasant and productive space.
Marie Kondo has made tidying up a worldwide craze, based on whether an item gives you joy. There’s a lot more to it, but the theory is to touch everything you own, and if it doesn’t spark joy then you should let it go!
Furniture that is fit for purpose
As time passes and families grow, needs can change. Furniture that was functional when the kids were little might not be practical anymore. Maybe you want to upgrade a piece or a space. Or maybe you’re working from home now, and could be making room for a home office?
We might not be able to travel in the ways we’d like at the moment but freshening up a room or a space can make home feel a little new and different. Sometimes a change is as good as a holiday!
Refresh your home and boost your bank balance
Clearing up clutter doesn’t necessarily mean giving away things you no longer want or need. While it’s great to donate, some authentic designer pieces are just too precious to give away. It’s worth looking at ways to sell your designer items and get a little bit of money back on your investment.
You can go old school and sell things through a dealer, but this can be limiting, especially these days when doors are often closed, whether due to lockdown or trading hours.
There are lots of ways to sell items online and online sales can have a range of advantages. Take some time to look at sites like eBay which has a massive following but makes it hard to stand out in the crowd.
Other sites will specialise in designer items, like furniture. In this case, you need to ask yourself what kind of service is being offered. Is the website user friendly? What is their delivery strategy? How do they support their customers, whether they are buying or selling?
By listing with a site like Collecte you have immediate access to buyers who know and appreciate good quality and authentic furniture and accessories. Collecte curators can help you with pictures and pricing if you need it, and logistics like shipping are all taken care of.
So why not clear some clutter, create some space in your home - and maybe even make some money too!
