Combining Households

There are many reasons that people are combining households more and more! For some couples, moving in together might be the obvious next step. Due to the high cost of living in the area, many people find it more affordable to have a roommate. Additionally, adult children invite their elderly parents into their home for company and personal care. Whatever the combination, ClutterTroops can assist in making the transition from two to one easy!

Twice The Clutter

When bringing multiple households together, we know that it means there will be twice the clutter, but not always twice the space! In every move we recommend taking the time to downsize before hiring movers. However, unlike a traditional move, when you are combining households, you might find that you both are making additional sacrifices. With two completed households, it may not be possible to keep all of your collections. There may not be room for both dinnerware sets and furniture. ClutterTroops works together with you to decide which items will be kept, resold, recycled, and donated.

It isn’t often that any two people can agree on absolutely everything. When combining households, you might also find that you are combining personal style. ClutterTroops acts as a mediator and guide as you and your new housemate seek out balance and a style that represents you both. By setting clear boundaries and utilizing a floor plan, we can help you make educated decisions about which items should be kept and which should go. We help you base decisions on style, space, condition, and quality rather than basing decisions on emotional attachment alone.

While the relationship might not be new, this new living situation adds a new depth to your relationship. Hiring a professional organizer to assist as you make this transition can help ease tension and frustration. In doing so, your living relationship can start off stronger.
