5 Steps to a home clutter free: Day Four - breath spare parts - The spare part is a difficult challenge. Indeed, more space, more waste it may contain. Again, the more rewards for storage, too. A cluttered spare part is not only an eyesore, it is a criminal waste of a whole area. So recover a lot of space and treat your guests to a pleasant stay in addressing this dump often overlooked.

Learn to let
it can be too easy to attribute sentimental value to items that simply do not deserve. Remember that to get rid of unnecessary items does not destroy the memories you have to enjoy them. So be brave and use the trick of classic decluttering organizational elements into three piles: one for things you really want to keep, one of the worthless things that you can throw and one for items you want to sell or give to charity. Go with your initial instincts, too. If you let yourself think for too long, you lose time and lose sight of your goal decluttering.

Set a goal
If your replacement part has been a dumping ground for too long, you may have lost sight of its potential. Think about how you want the space to look after it is uncluttered. Work on how you want to use, too. Will it be a combined office and guest room? Should storage here for items that no other house? How often do you plan to use the space once it is organized? These questions may seem obvious, but they are valuable. If you have a clear idea of what you are trying to achieve, you will be able to focus on the work of its most important elements.

Ask is it useful or beautiful?
As you begin to sort your items into piles, keep these criteria in mind. If a song is good, then display it here or in another room. While it is useful - and it means that you used last year - keep it, but maybe the store under the stairs or in the attic. Some things will not need this kind of review. These non-head bin-les-now items include old newspapers and magazines (disorder and a fire), games or puzzles with missing pieces, pocket books you have not want to read, the outdated technology such as cassettes or videos, and soon to be outdated items such as CDs. If you really need to take one of these things, choosing the best examples and display them creatively.

Add an incentive
Imagine your boss - or your favorite movie star - just spend the night at your home. What would your spare say about you? Seeing your disorder through someone else's eyes can pull you up to attack and help you make decisions about what to keep and discard. It can help you work faster and smarter, too. After all, you now have a deadline, because Brad Pitt is to stay here and be a minute ...

Get arty
Walls are the largest single surface in a room, so make the most of 'between them. Stuff stored in baskets under the bed could become a work of art. Or at least stick some shelves and get some noise in boxes and there, on the floor.
