Where to Donate Home Decor

Furniture Banks

Furniture banks are organizations located across the world that accept furniture donations and other common household items to donate to families in need. You can visit The Furniture Bank Network to find furniture banks currently accepting donations in your local community.

Freecycle

Freecyle is a growing network of nearly 10 million members across over 5,000 towns across the world. You can sign up and either give or ask for free stuff. It's a great way to get rid of furniture donations. Membership is free and it makes connecting with people and families in need much easier – it’s like a social network for giving!

Local Goodwill Store

If you have extra household items that you no longer need, Goodwill is known to accept donations. The only problem with Goodwill is how strict they are about what they accept and what they don’t accept. If you know you have something they’ll accept, then what are you waiting for?

Salvation Army

If you want to donate your home decor to a charity with religious roots, then the Salvation Army is exactly what you’re looking for. They’re an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church, have been helping individuals since 1865, and serve in over 130 countries around the globe.

Habitat for Humanity ReStores

Habitat for Humanity ReStores are located around the globe and resell household goods or building materials to the public for a fraction of the retail price. The proceeds go towards building, rehabilitating, and repairing affordable homes for families in need. You’ll get rid of your stuff while helping others.

Theaters & Art Centers

This is something many people might overlook, but you can always donate your home decor items to your local theater, art center, or even high schools – especially if it can be used as a good prop. After all, people in theater are creative enough to find a good use for your decor!

Local Charity

There are many charities and other charitable organizations constantly looking for donations in your community at any given moment. Since they know better than anyone else how to get your items in the hands of those that need it, you can trust them to honor you well – just find their drop off location.

What Household Items & Decor Can You Donate?

You might be asking yourself – what exactly can I donate to these charities? As much as they’d like to accept anything, there are certain things they’re after and there will be things they decline from time to time. The question to ask yourself is – will this item be of value to someone else?

Don’t worry, we’ve put together a quick list of home decor and other related items that you should consider donating today:

• Art and Wall Canvases
• Floor, table, and/or wall lights
• Centerpieces and/or bookshelf decor
• Alarm clocks and wall clocks
• Picture frames
• Donate furniture (small or large)
• Carpets and rugs
• Decorative bowls
• Kitchenware, plates, etc.
• Sculptures
• You can even donate cell phones
• Pillows and throw blankets
• Candles and wax melts

Much like we noted above, they won’t accept just anything and the item’s condition plays a big role in that decision. Before donating any home decor or other items to charity, make sure it’s in good condition – it doesn’t necessarily have to be perfect condition, but at least good condition.

Is It Possible to Donate a Home?

If you were surprised to learn it’s possible to donate home decor, wait until you hear about all the people that donate homes, land, and other real estate – it happens more often than you’d think. Those that donate a home are in line to receive some generous charitable tax deductions.
