Cleaning
and reorganizing your home can be a difficult and stressful process, especially
if you have to deal with a lot of clutter. Old belongings, while they may be
important to you, can take up a lot of space in garages and attics. A good way
to help clear up the space in your home, while still holding onto your items
and keeping them close by, is to rent a storage unit. These work great for
holding onto your belongings that might not be the most important things in
your house, but still hold sentimental value. Here are several items you may
have in your home that could go into storage:
Collections:
Whether you collect coins, comic books, records, or lunch boxes, a serious
collection can take up a lot of space in your home. While they may be fun to
look at and admire, they may not be items you use daily. So keeping them in a
clean, secure storage unit may be a great option.
Seasonal
Outdoor Gear: If you live in an area that sees seasonal weather changes, a
storage unit is a perfect place to keep your winter gear. Large winter coats, hats
and gloves will sit in your home for six to eight months until it gets cold
again. And what about your skis, snowboard and similar items? Place them in
your storage unit until winter comes around again.
Old
Documents: Bills, old school papers, tax forms, birth certificates, and
other documents can clutter your home office. Whether they’re personal
documents or related to your business, it’s important to hold onto them. File them away in cabinets or boxes in
a storage unit where they’ll be readily available when you need them.
Decorations:
After taking down your holiday decorations, it can be difficult to find a place
to keep them. Put Santa and all his reindeer into your storage unit where they’ll
be safe and out of your way until Christmas rolls around the following year.
Toys:
At some point, your children are going to outgrow those action figures or play
sets they love so much. If they are keepsakes you want to hold onto, but need
the space in your home for something else, store them in your unit for future
grandchildren to enjoy.
Clothes:
If there’s a piece of clothing you haven’t worn in a while, but can’t bring
yourself to throw out, there’s no better place to put it than a storage unit.
Freeing up room in your closet will allow you to update your wardrobe while
still hanging onto your old clothes, so they can be worn or handed down later.
