This is an easy way to create some space in the house, which motivates you to do the renovation, refurbishing and even recycle.  The way you get rid of stuff is what matters the most. If you know you have certain unused and brand new products you can either sell them online or give them to family and close friends. If you have expensive items like furniture including sofa sets, beds and even coffee tables, you can sell them through the Internet medium. You may as well try to downsize by giving your stuff away in charity. This noble cause will not incur any money but will give you a mental peace that your stuff is not washed down the drain but is being used by the less fortunate. Calling the council people is another way to bid goodbye to old school stuff and welcome new and contemporary furniture in style.

People who have younger siblings and cousins can easily pass on their clothes and shoes to them for reuse. Also, if you have furniture in good shape but want to change it just for the sake of it or for refreshment, you can pass on the furniture to your relatives place or maybe your parents place. To help your cousins and friends properly choose from your coveted collection, organise everything according to size, utility and requirement.

Sell it

You might as well arrange a get together or potluck and then propose the idea of selling your stuff to friends and relatives. The garage sale is often accompanied by a wine and cheese session, which is basically a fun way to end the sale. You can even register on craigslist, Amazon and eBay to incur the best price for your products. Just click proper pictures and quote a genuine price and there you are, all set to hit the second hand markets.
