Finding that you need more space around the house? Storing items that you aren’t using helps reduce clutter and free up space around your home. Seasonal items are the perfect candidates for storage since you don’t need them all year round.  Here are a few seasonal items that can be stored to save on space.

3 Seasonal Items to Store

1. Clothing

If you live in an area with four distinct seasons, your wardrobe will vary depending on the time of year. If you’re looking to clear up a little space in your closet, dividing up your wardrobe can be helpful. Decide what clothes you will need in the spring and summer versus the colder months. Store the clothes in garment bags or labeled bins to make it easier to swap out your wardrobe as needed.  Also see our full line of Wardrobe boxes for faster, easier and more convenient way to switch your wardrobe, prices start at $8.95.

2. Sporting Equipment

Out of season sporting goods take up a lot of space. From skiing equipment in the winter to summer accessories, such as baseball gloves and croquet sets, these can all become damaged or misplaced throughout the year. Use bins to contain small accessories to keep them from getting lost. Make sure all the equipment is cleaned, waxed, and ready for the next season prior to storage.

3. Holiday Decorations

From Christmas trees to ten-foot-tall inflatable Easter Bunnies, holiday decorations are only useful for a brief period of the year. In the months where these items aren’t needed, they should be stored away to keep them in good condition for many more holidays. Pack away small ornaments with bubble wrap or newspaper to keep them from breaking. Untangle lights and wrap them around a piece of cardboard to make it easier when you retrieve them from storage. Inflatable items should be stored in boxes to avoid rips and tears.
