When you have an overwhelming number of belongings, it’s too easy for your home or office to look and feel cluttered. If you’re determined to streamline your possessions and have your space look neat and orderly, consider renting a storage unit. These facilities offer helpful solutions to get your space back in order, whether the kids are heading to college or you need to store items until the weather warms back up.

Here are four simple ways to de-clutter with the help of a storage unit:

• Break Projects Up: When tackling a major project, such as organizing your entire home, it can be easier to break tasks up. Focus on one room at a time by renting a self-storage unit to house your other belongings. This keeps bulky furniture and other items out of the way while you sort through one room.
• Put Decorations Away: Sometimes, it’s easier to decorate once all your belongings have been organized and put away. Keep artwork, photographs, sculptures, and other knickknacks stored away until you’re ready to start hanging them up. This will give you a better idea of what you currently own and help you plan which room each item will go in.
• Store College Students’ Belongings: Once the kids head off to college, they’ll likely leave behind the majority of their belongings. If you want to make use of these empty rooms while your son or daughter is studying, storage units are great solutions. They allow furniture, clothes, and decorations to be accessible once your student graduates or gets a larger apartment.
• Pack Away Seasonal Clothes: Now that fall is here, you most likely have no use for summer’s lighter clothing and footwear. Keep seasonal clothing out of the way by putting it in a self-storage space. Pack articles away in vacuum-sealed bags to protect them from moisture.
