Make space, feel better, and take advantage of our summer skip hire offer
In this post, we’ll cover how decluttering can:
- Boost your mood
- Make home maintenance easier
- Help the environment – and more.
Summer is the perfect time to open the windows, let the light in and clear the clutter out. Whether it’s the garage you keep avoiding, the loft full of ‘just in case’ boxes, or that spare room that’s more storage than space, there’s never been a better moment to tackle it all.
Here are five good reasons to declutter your home this summer – and why it’s not just about clearing space, but feeling better too.
1. Decluttering boosts your mental wellbeing
Research from the University of Connecticut and other studies have shown that clutter can lead to increased stress and anxiety. The Mental Health Foundation also notes that maintaining a calm and ordered home environment can improve focus, lift your mood and help with better sleep. In short, a tidy space really can mean a tidy mind.
2. Good weather means less disruption
Let’s face it, dragging boxes through the house or sorting the garage is much easier when the sun’s out. Longer days and drier weather give you more time and flexibility to sort, shift and clear without worrying about soggy boxes or muddy floors. It’s also the ideal time for garage and garden clear-outs, with space outside to sort your stuff.
3. It helps you stay on top of home maintenance
Clutter often hides problems. That pile in the corner could be covering a damp patch. The garage overflow might mean you’ve not noticed a cracked tile or leaking pipe. A summer clear-out gives you the chance to check your home for anything that needs fixing before winter rolls around and it becomes urgent.
4. You’ll feel lighter and more in control
According to behavioral researchers, letting go of things we no longer use can be genuinely freeing and helps reduce decision fatigue. That’s the brain drain we feel from constantly seeing mess and trying to decide what to do with it. Decluttering resets that mental load, giving you a sense of control and clarity.
5. You can help others (and the environment)
One person’s unwanted clutter is another’s treasure. Once you’ve sorted everything, you can donate decent items to local charities, give things away via community groups, or recycle what you can. And with Rabbit, you can rest easy knowing that whatever goes in your skip, we recycle or reuse over 90 percent of it at our own energy-from-waste facility. That helps reduce landfill and powers local homes and businesses.
