Spring Home Organization Tips

Prepare Your Home and Storage Unit for Spring

If you’re ready to get a jump on organizing your home or prepare for spring cleaning, now is the perfect time to start with those harder to reach places. Attics, basements, garages, coat closets, and even storage units need a refresh at least once a year. You may find sentimental or valuable items you forgot you had. This also gives you a chance to resell or donate things that no longer suit you.  Whether you are starting in the basement or in the attic, there are tried and true methods to help you declutter.

Sort all of your belongings. Make separate keep, discard, and donate piles so you can see how much stays and goes in each space.

Contain it. For everything that stays, find a way to contain it. Label storage bins and containers for easy access. If it doesn’t quite fit in a bin, set it aside to decide where it should go.

Take inventory. If you’re cleaning out a storage unit, make sure to take inventory of everything you have stored. This helps to easily decide which items to discard or donate without spending too much time looking through each box.

Find the right storage space. Now that you have determined what needs to stay, organize your space properly by grouping together holiday items, seasonal tools, or decorations. Make sure items are stacked and stored properly for easy access the next time. Remember those items that didn’t quite fit before? If you’re quickly running out of storage room, consider a storage unit to help make your space bigger, brighter, and decluttered.

And no matter where you are in the decluttering or cleaning stage, think about the future. 

  • Do you need a bigger or smaller unit if you are downsizing your storage items? 
  • Are you planning on selling your home soon? 
  • Will you need a place to store your furniture or bins while your home is on the market? 

Knowing these answers will help your next big move run much smoother by being prepared. If you’re ready to move on to spring cleaning, we have that covered for you here!

Holiday lighting with snow man.

The New Year is in full swing! With a few more weeks of winter ahead it’s a little bit too early to put away your sleds and snow gear. But not for those holiday decorations, gifts, and other items that have accumulated over the holiday season. Do you still have that holiday clutter in and around your home? It’s time to make a plan and get organized!

 

First, say goodbye to lights or decorations that either does not work or no longer suit your decorating style. This will help free up space for things that matter most. Plus, keeping things that will get used in the next season makes decorating faster with less waste. You’ll thank yourself later, we promise.

 

Next, knowing how to pack and what to store everything in is super important. We took the guessing out for you and compared totes versus boxes in terms of environmental impact, cost, and which one is best for moving and storage.  

 

Now that things are packed up, you may have larger decorations that didn’t quite fit in a container. Taking a look around your closets and garage, it might look like a full house already. So what do you do? If you’re not ready to jump into spring cleaning, consider a storage unit for your temporary or long-term storage needs.

 

For your convenience, storage units come in a variety of sizes so you can find something that’s just the right size for what you need now. You can choose between cost-effective drive-up, dust-controlled, or climate-controlled storage options on a month-to-month basis.
