Reasons Some People End Up Having A Cluttered Home

By Elise Marshall


It's messy. It's distracting. And it's not particularly a pretty sight.

Yet despite the negative effects of clutter, why is it that many people get trapped in this habit?

There are many different reasons why people end up having a cluttered home. But if there's one sure thing about cluttered environment, it's that this can be a reflection of what's going on inside its homeowners.

Personal beliefs, such as how a person feels about change, how a person responds to changes, and how a person view security, can contribute on why a homeowner is occupying a cluttered home.

For example, there are people that keep many different random things even when these are no longer useful because of their sentimental value. Some also keep items longer than they should for the fear of what might happen when they throw them away.

Other people also don't trust the idea that life will provide them with what they need most of the time. So the tendency is for them to keep buying items whenever they have the money and avoid throwing away those which they believe they might use one day. The result is uncontrolled accumulation of items at home.

Clutter also vary in terms of form. Aside from physical clutter (things that you have), it can also be in the form of relationship clutter (people you spend time with), as body clutter (clutter that accumulates in your body), as well as time clutter (things that you do) and mind clutter (things you think or believe).

Remember those friends that are no longer as supportive as they used to be, no matter how nice people they are? How about the favorite pastime that drains you of energy instead of giving you the enthusiasm that it once did?

Whether the clutter is physical or non-tangible, it's important to to know the signs as early as possible. Doing so would allow you to identify the type clutter you are experiencing and control it while it is still possible.

Physical clutter is actually easy to manage. Nowadays, self storage facilities abound to meet the various needs of people. For instance, in Singapore homeowners use Singapore storage space as temporary storage for their important belongings. Singapore storage companies now offer different sizes and rates for cheaper rental costs.
