Moving in together is a significant step in any relationship. If you and your partner are ready for this exciting change, there are a few considerations to discuss before jumping in. To downsize and rent a storage unit with ease, follow these tips.

How to Make Moving in Together a Smooth Process

1. Downsize

You and your partner may have redundancy regarding furniture, decor, appliances, and other household items. Take inventory and decide what you'll keep, donate, sell, or toss. Be sure to consider furniture size and choose the pieces that'll fit best in the new living space, and take into account the age and condition of items.

2. Plan the Living Space

Try to maximize each room's square footage so each partner feels comfortable and everything has a place. If you need to increase storage but are limited in your new location, consider furniture with built-in drawers and shelves, and use vertical space when possible.

3. Decide on Decor

Everything from paint colors to what art will be hung should be discussed to ensure everyone is content. If you both have decorative items, ensure each person's style is represented and that one isn't dominant over the other. You can also shop for these pieces together to find a style that blends both of yours.

4. Use a Storage Unit

You may find yourself unable to part with certain sentimental items. Alternatively, you may not want to purge pieces that can be used in a larger home down the line. A storage unit comes in handy for holding belongings until you need them. These spaces are also excellent for seasonal items, sports equipment, and other pieces you don't need every day, especially if you're in an area with limited closets or attic space.
