For a neat and tidy look throw away all the unwanted things. If you are not able to take away the clutter immediately, put the things into the storage room until you are ready to sort them.
Walls, flooring and Countertops
Yon need to check the walls, flooring and countertops. If you haven't done painting recently, repaint the entire interior. Choose neutral paint colors for the entire interior.
