FURNITURE
If you decided to downsize, you should take into consideration that you’ll have less space for the things in your old home, such as your furniture. It’s obvious you won’t have where to put everything. AARP recommends downsizers to make a test by eliminating a couple of pieces from a room to see how spacious it feels.
You don’t have to throw your old furniture, you can sell it or donate it to Goodwill, Habitat ReStore, or other organizations.
