Hello World! Welcome Friends! There are times in your life when you wish that your house could be a bit bigger. Maybe you want to have a separate bedroom for one of your kids or make a home office. But with all the clutter around, whether it be your kids’ toys or old pajamas, it becomes tough even to visualize the new setup.
What you would do 5-10 years back from now is that you would hire a truck, call some of your friends and move some of the furniture to either your friends’ houses, throw it away or sell it to any junk furniture service that you may find in your locality. Much hassle that is, indeed. For some, it’s just a new part of Nightmare on Elm Street.
However, now you do not have to worry a bit. Technology has revolutionized everything. Today, numerous businesses offer a wide array of services that have their online presence as well. There are many effective options available to move the unwanted furniture from your home and make some space. Today, we will discuss 5 of the options that you can use to move the furniture out efficiently:
Mobile Apps:
These days there are many amazing apps available out there for all kinds of utilities, even for furniture moving. These are like eBay, but just for furniture, so the buyers are specifically looking for old furniture. Through this, you get rapid responses.
So, while sitting on the couch that you want to sell, you just have to open the app on your mobile, post some pics, and give contact details, and soon you will start getting calls and messages.
Also, a mobile application allows you to list buyers only in your specific area, so, for example, if you are looking for furniture removal in Philadelphia, you can put in a filter and get the appropriate buyers without wasting time in extensive research!
Once the deal gets done, your furniture will get picked up without you even moving a finger, and you will get a decent value for it in terms of cash.
Charity Donations:
Many charity donation organizations will happily pick up your unwanted furniture. And some of them have websites and apps, so you just have to add the request. Just make sure that your furniture is bugs free. However, you might want to browse to check the better ones. And some of them might only accept a certain kind of furniture because of their handling capacity.
Freecycle:
It has recently come up as one of the better organizations for used furniture management. On Freecycle, you can give it away to someone who needs it, or they will also provide options as to how you can reuse the old furniture. But since this topic is specifically about moving the furniture out of your house, you will have to choose the giveaway option. They will hook your query up with someone who genuinely wants an item you have posted, and the person will come and pick the item from your place. But please don’t ask the person for cash as Freecycle is for free giveaways. You don’t sell stuff on Freecycle.
Craigslist:
Now we come to the granddaddy of all garage sales, and that you all know is Craigslist. Just upload the information on whatever you want to sell, and you will start getting queries. It has a big network that you will find the buyers for your stuff in almost all the blocks of every city. But there is one catch. If you have a timer running, and you want to move the furniture out quickly, then you will have to hit the ‘please’ button. We are talking about the Craigslist stuff section. After you list your furniture in the free stuff section of Craigslist, just get ready for the stampede of claimants that would fight to the death for your old used chair.
Turn It Into A New Piece:
Have you ever thought about turning your old TV trolley into a bar cart? Well, it might sound complicated, but it is very much doable. Also, it will give you some fun art projects to look forward to spending your free time. All you need is a little creativity, some arts and crafts tools, and you are ready to get going.
Let’s say you have an old TV stand that you no longer need because now you want to hang your TV on the wall. But just because you want to renovate, is it necessary for you to throw away an excellent looking furniture piece? Not at all! We advise the contrary! Get yourself some fun paints, color the piece new, add or remove some handles or knobs, and there you have it, a simple table that you can use as a bar bench. This new addition would look super chic, and you would not even have to spend a fortune!
You can also look into Pinterest for some fantastic ideas regarding how to turn old furniture into something new. You can always find some exciting art projects on how to revamp old furniture according to your needs around the house.
Conclusion:
There are other options for moving your unwanted furniture as well, but the ones listed above are the best, in our opinion. It is always nice to have a neat and clean uncluttered space, whether it is your home or your office.
With the rents of spaces shooting up, individuals are looking to utilize every inch of their space in the most efficient manner. Only keep what you need the most, and that you can know by observing the frequency of usage and its utility. If you have three family members, there is no point in having a dining table with eight chairs, just as a precaution that some family guests might arrive at any time. When they come, make them sit on the chairs, and you sit on the floor!
