YES, I am an INTP . . . how ever did you know?
Objects which lie unmoved for more than about 48 hours usually become invisible to the INTP, until such time as she has a use for them again. Corners of rooms, table tops and cupboards may become cluttered with objects, but while they don't move they remain effectively invisible and are unimportant. The one thing that will force an INTP to tidy her home radically, even when alone, is when the clutter eventually gets in the way and hinders some activity. Often, however, the offending objects will merely be moved into another corner where they can spend some more weeks being invisible.
Because the present is inextricably linked to a sense of the past, INTPs tend to hoard items which help solidify the connection to the past. They find it very difficult to let go of anything they have collected (or indeed created) and which may have a nostalgic meaning. They assume that any object which is of interest now is bound to remain of interest for the rest of their lives.
Yes, my place is a mess (but that's OK because it's getting in my way, so I'm going to clean, or at least move stuff somewhere else!)
