Clutter has a way of building up in the house, even when you think you’re organized. While getting rid of some of those items can help, it’s not always enough. After all, you can’t get rid of everything that’s taking up extra space in the house and storing items in the garage is not the best option. Instead of settling for an abundance of clutter in your closet or garage, rent a self storage unit and keep your important items safe without increasing clutter at home. Here are a few things to consider moving to your storage unit to free up space at the house.

Out-of-Season Items

Out-of-season clothes and holiday decorations can take up a lot of space in your closet needlessly. By keeping these items in a storage unit, you’ll free up space in your closet without having to donate items you use a few months of the year. Best of all, you’ll be able to switch out seasonal items periodically, keeping your closet filled only with items that you need in the immediate future.

Keepsakes and Knickknacks

Keepsakes and knickknacks are fun to display and are the perfect way to show off memories of fun places, trips, or important moments. However, they have a way of making the house feel cluttered. Go through the keepsakes and pick a handful of items that you absolutely love. These can be displayed at the house while the others can stay at a designated self storage facility. When you’re ready to switch the knickknacks out, you can head to the storage unit and make the switch. You won’t increase your clutter, but you won’t have to get rid of items either.

Miscellaneous Junk

It’s not uncommon for kitchen cabinets, garages, and even home storage sheds to house items that you haven’t touched in years. Instead of leaving those items to take up valuable storage space at your house, rent a storage unit and move them to the self storage facility. This will free up space while also giving you the time you need to decide if you want to get rid of those items permanently. If you realize you use them more than you thought, all it takes is a short drive to retrieve your belongings from storage.
