Deciding what to put in storage and when can be a difficult task, here are some steps you can take to make the process easier:
- Assess your current storage needs: Take a look at the items you currently have in your home and determine which items you use frequently and which items you rarely use.
- Make a list of items you can store: Make a list of items that you can store, such as seasonal decor, extra furniture, or out-of-season clothing.
- Consider the cost of storage: Consider the cost of storing your items and whether it’s worth the expense. You may need to prioritize which items are most important to store.
- Determine the length of storage: Decide how long you’ll need to store the items. If it’s for a short period of time, like a few months, it might be more economical to rent a storage unit.
- Evaluate the condition of the items: Evaluate the condition of the items you plan to store. If they are in poor condition, you may want to consider getting rid of them instead of storing them.
- Make use of the space: As you pack away items, make sure you use the space in the storage unit efficiently. Use packing materials to protect fragile items and label the boxes so you can easily find what you need.
By following these steps, you can make an informed decision about what to put in storage and when, and ensure that you’re only paying for the storage you actually need.
