Too much clutter in your home is more than just unsightly—it affects your physical, emotional, and mental health. Issues associated with clutter include respiratory problems, increased production of the stress hormone cortisol, and unhappy family members. Learn the warning signs of an overcrowded home so you can schedule timely junk removal services.

4 Signs of Too Much Clutter

1. Every Surface Is Covered

A look around your home will let you know if it features excessive clutter. Is every table, chair, counter, and other surface covered with household items and mail? Do you always have to move something before you can sit down? Are you worried piles of paper will topple over at any moment?

2. An Excessive Number of Duplicates

While having duplicates of items like small appliances is helpful, there’s no need to have two or more of practically everything you own, especially if the items won’t wear out anytime soon. If you’re constantly making space on tables and in cabinets and drawers for duplicate items, you need to scale back.

3. Clothes & Shoes Spilling Out of Closets

When you have too many clothes and shoes, they spill onto floors, hampers, and beds, leaving little walking space in bedrooms. Lots of clothes and shoes also means constantly fighting a losing battle to make more space in your closet for new items.

4. You Haven’t Hosted Friends or Family in a While

If you always make excuses or want to meet loved ones elsewhere because you’re embarrassed about the state of your home, it’s time to make a change. Your home should be your oasis, a place to relax and entertain your favorite people.
