How to Declutter Before the Holidays Without the Stress

The holidays are coming — and with them, guests, decorations, and plenty of new stuff. Whether you’re making space for family gatherings or prepping for a fresh start to the new year, decluttering before the holidays can make your home feel bigger, calmer, and more inviting.

At Wildman Junk Removal, we help homeowners across North Houston, including Conroe, The Woodlands, Montgomery, Magnolia, New Caney, Willis, Tomball, Spring, Humble, and Cypress, get their spaces in order before the festivities begin. Here’s how to tackle pre-holiday clutter without losing your holiday cheer.


1. Start With the Big Impact Areas

Focus on the spots that matter most during the holidays — like your living room, kitchen, and guest areas. Clear out old furniture, unused décor, or anything blocking walkways. A tidy, open layout instantly makes your home feel ready for company.

If you’re short on time, think about what guests will actually see and use — and start there.


2. Use the One-Year Rule

If you haven’t used it, worn it, or even thought about it in the last year, it’s probably time to let it go. The one-year rule works great for clothes, small appliances, and random storage items. Donate what’s still good, and let professionals haul away what’s not.


3. Organize Holiday Décor Early

Before hanging up lights or unpacking ornaments, sort through your holiday decorations. Get rid of broken lights, outdated décor, or duplicates you don’t need. Keeping only what you love makes setup faster and cleanup easier.

Wildman Junk Removal can even handle old décor disposal — from artificial trees to tangled string lights — so you can focus on the fun part of decorating.


4. Don’t Forget Outdoor Spaces

Front porches, patios, and yards often get overlooked, but they’re the first things guests see. Clear away fallen branches, leaves, and unused items to keep your property looking clean and festive. Our landscape debris removal services make quick work of outdoor clutter across North Houston and surrounding cities.
