Alaska’s long summer evenings can present fantastic opportunities to eliminate clutter in your living space. Once you’ve decided what to pack away, a personal storage space is the best method for keeping hold of what you might need later. The helpful staff at Arctic Self Storage in Anchorage has been providing affordable self storage for over 30 years, so they can offer a few tips on how to make the best use of your available space this summer.

Space-Saving Ideas For Summer

Think Seasonally 

Personal StorageAs seasons change, so do your storage needs. One great way to eliminate clutter and meet your summer cleaning goals is by putting things into storage you know you won’t need for at least a few months. Why keep those tire chains in the corner of your garage all summer? By organizing a seasonal rotation between your living space and your personal storage unit, you can eliminate clutter year-round.

Clear Your Closet 

Using your self storage unit wisely can improve the functionality of your storage at home. If your closet is overflowing with clothes or plastic bins, it can be difficult to put your wardrobe to best use. You can get the most out of your closets by planning a seasonal “collection” for your clothes and rotating them between your home and personal storage unit. At Arctic Self Storage, they offer climate-controlled units so you won’t have to worry about mildew or other contaminants in your clothing and other possessions.

Develop A Packing System

Though Arctic Self Storage offers units in a wide range of sizes, you can get the best use from your personal storage space by packing with a plan in mind. Always place items in storage with a clear plan for when and how you’ll use them again. Store seasonal items in separate containers from long-term items like family mementos or your childhood baseball card collection, and label everything clearly so you can easily find what you need. You’ll want to know which box your parka is in when winter returns!
