In the process of relocation, the most cumbersome job is that of packing and then unpacking all your household goods. From among all your belongings, furniture is perhaps the most bulky and space consuming item. Just imagine, how badly you need all your furniture to lead a decent and comfortable life but how this furniture, all of a sudden, becomes a burden when moving from one location to another. So, what are the ways to deal with these furniture items? Do you have to take all of them along with you? Or you can just leave some of them behind? If so, how to sort out what to take and what to leave behind? And the big question then- What to do with all those furniture that you don't want to take along with you? Lets try to find answers to these questions.

Sort out the furniture items: Yes, first of all sort out your furniture. Generally, those items with which you are sentimentally involved can not be left behind. Then, there are some pieces that are antique- you can't leave them too, unless you decide to sell them off. Apart from these, there are some high end furniture like art deco furniture that will cost you a fortune if you decide to buy them anew at your new location. However, if you decide to sell them along with some antique furniture, you can get a handsome amount that can be invested in new furniture for your new home. It's all on you, how you want to go about!

If there are some expensive pieces which can fetch some good amount for you then place advertisements in local newspapers. If not, then put notices on your apartment and office notice board, of course, with the permission from designated authority. You can also put these selling notices on nearby college or hostel campus. Students are always on a look out for used furniture. You can think about more options for selling off your furniture.

Donate Furniture: You can even donate your furniture to charitable schools or other organizations. Such furniture that could not be sold off and which neither you want to take with you, can be donated to such organizations. You can even ask your friends and relatives, if they want to take some of such furniture.
