America is a nation of hoarders as one in two admits they have a problem with “clutter,” new research reveals.

From clothes that are out of style to outdated electronics and other useless junk, the average American is currently hoarding 23 items in their home that they have absolutely no use for, according to results.

Of course, few people take it to its reality TV-style extremes, but a new survey of 2,000 Americans by home storage and closet organization leader ClosetMaid found many Americans appear to have a little bit of hoarder in them, holding on to all sorts of items that are totally unnecessary.

Over half of the respondents surveyed said they had somewhat of a clutter issue plaguing their home, one in seven admits they have a ‘great deal of clutter’ and 39 percent say they have quite a bit of clutter.

Nearly a third (31 percent) of survey respondents currently have a completely broken item sitting around their home that they can’t bring themselves to throw out.

Most of the clutter is hidden from plain view in the most private room in the home — the bedroom.

But the living room and the garage also see their fair share of disorganization.

According to the survey, old clothing, seasonal items such as beach chairs and Christmas decorations, and old footwear make up for most of the clutter.

The main reason respondents hold onto unnecessary items is thinking they’ll end up needing it in the future.

Fifty-seven percent keep things for sentimental reasons and a third procrastinate throwing out items they no longer need.

The state of the home has been so bad for some that one in five (19 percent) have been told by a friend or loved one that they’re a hoarder — and a third report that the mess of useless items has caused an argument.

Adding to the disorganization, 15 percent have at one point convinced their partner or roommate that they would get rid of an item only to secretly keep and hide it.

And that’s not the only secret being kept — a third still have gifts from an ex-lover and a quarter hide these old gifts from their current partner.

Most people admit they’re responsible for the clutter in their home, but 19 percent blame their children and husband for the mess.

Regardless of who’s to blame, the disarray of unnecessary belongings has given 47 percent of survey respondent’s anxiety.

The mental pressure is amplified upon hearing that a guest will soon be over. In fact, 48 percent experience panic, anxiety or stress at the thought of a guest coming over and seeing all the clutter.

But when they are cleaning, the clutter is usually transferred into a closet, a spare bedroom, in a few assorted baskets, or under the bed.

The average American thinks about decluttering their home six times each year, but actually declutters three times a year.

“Now is as good a time as any to get a grip on clutter and reduce the stress caused by simply having too much stuff,” said Scott Davis, ClosetMaid’s vice president of product development and marketing.

“The variety of storage and organization products on the market eliminates excuses for disorganization because there is a system for everyone that meets all budgets, lifestyles and taste.”

“What is surprising is the number of people who don’t have the systems in place to manage and organize their stuff.”

“Considering we have been in the business of storage and organization for more than 50 years, these results are not entirely surprising to us.”

“With the variety of products on the market, there is something to meet all budgets and styles to keep people organized and reduce the daily stress caused by clutter.”
