Sometimes, we might think that the clutter in our homes is unavoidable – we need all that stuff! However, self-storage could be the answer here.
You might think self-storage is only for businesses or people with large amounts of valuable property to keep safe, but as demand has risen, it’s become popular to store small amounts of domestic clutter at a surprisingly affordable cost.
Here are just a few ways self-storage can be really useful for running a home, especially with little ones running around!
Self-Storage Can Give You Space to Do More!
You can move boxes around your home as much as you like, but they have to go somewhere. The immediate solution is to allocate a single room to store all your unused stuff, but what could you do with that room instead of using it as your own personal storage facility – a new study-room, a guest bedroom, or a playroom for the kids?
It doesn’t matter how much, or how little, you have. Self-storage companies, like GTW, often offer storage units from just a few square feet upwards – think of it like an attic, kept clean and secure, and most importantly, not taking up any space in your home!
Get Rid of Seasonal Items When You Don’t Need Them
Let’s face it, you’re never going to use that plastic Christmas tree until Santa is about to come a-calling. If you like a well-decked out house at this time of the year, that means a lot of dusty boxes lying around from January to November, gathering dust for 11 months of the year.
When summer approaches, garden furniture comes out of hibernation along with that whole section of your wardrobe you just can’t wear just now, causing even more home-storage issues.
Get your seasonal items in storage and retrieve them when they’re needed. It’s easy, cheap and quick!
Make Your Home Child-Friendly
Usually, clutter is just annoying, or it can be hazardous for children when the jumble of unwanted items becomes overwhelming. Stacks of boxes waiting to topple? That’s not a good environment for hyper, unpredictable children to live in.
If you have children, and a lot of unwanted items lying around your home, we highly recommend taking advantage of your local self-storage units.
A clean home doesn’t only clear the mind, but could also help lower stress levels with various children running around the place and reduce the chance of an accident!
Create a More Organised Home
We all know the saying – a cluttered desk, a cluttered mind. However, have you ever considered that a cluttered home could also lead to a cluttered life?
When our homes are chaotic with non-essential items, unclean, or generally disorganised, it can begin to affect our overall mood and mental well-being, making it difficult to relax and enjoy the small periods of time we have to ourselves.
Utilising self-storage can and does help thousands across the country declutter their home, and in turn, improve their mental health.
You may think it’s a stretch to make this claim; however, there are genuine psychological benefits to be had from decluttering, which self-storage can help with.
Store the Stuff Your Child Grows Out Of
We all know how fast young children grow at that early stage. Shoes, cots, even toys they’ve grown tired of – get these items in storage!
Maybe you’re a parent of a toddler who’s grown out of their baby clothes. Rather than spending time selling or giving them away, you could simply store the clothes away, giving you the opportunity to pass them on to a future new arrival among family or friends, or even another one of your own!
Summary
Now you know all the ways that self-storage can help with your decluttering woes.
We understand that busy schedules can affect your motivation to finally clear out your space, but that’s where we can help!
