10 Ways to Know You Have Too Much Stuff

Everyone has a different relationship with how much stuff is too much. Some people feel good with more stuff, while others feel better in a sparser environment. There is no rule on how much is too much. It’s important to know for yourself what that comfort level is.

There’s a misconception that too much stuff means you’re a hoarder. There's another misconception that a minimalist doesn't have clutter. That's not necessarily true either. It’s relative to each person.

Because our home is so much a part of ourselves, it can be difficult to get perspective. It’s easy to let things accumulate over time without letting things go along the way. But when is too much too much?  Here are some telltale signs when too much stuff is too much.
