How is your living space when it comes to cluttered rooms that have too much furniture or the cabinet full of specialty baking items you only pull out for holidays and special occasions? You don’t have to worry about a cascade of oddly shaped baking pans falling on your head or banging your knee on the chair no one really sits on in the den. Use Alhambra Self Storage to clear your home of these extra items and unwanted objects, make room, and keep everyone who’s searching for the good blender a lot safer. 1. Choose Your Furniture Go through each room in your house and choose the furniture that is cluttering up each room. That chair in the den no one really uses, the table in the office that mostly houses old bills needing to be filed, and the little couch in a formal living room that was supposed to be used for entertaining but has been there just for show for over a year can all be removed. You can utilize those spaces for something better. 2. Choose Objects Go through your closets, the garage, the kitchen, and even the utility room and find things that you rarely or never use. There’s no reason to keep the Christmas tree around all year taking up space for eleven months out of the year, and you could definitely do without the rug cleaner you drag out three times a year. 3. Assess Your Storage Needs Take a look at all the furniture and objects you’ve set aside and think about any special needs for storing them. The inside of your house may have climate control that keeps your items safe, but moving these things to the garage may not be a good idea, especially if the garage is one of the places you’re attempting to declutter. 4. Look Again Once you’ve decided on your storage needs and the items you want to get out of the house, take another look. Did you really get everything you wanted to remove? Grit your teeth and really think about what furniture and items you use. You can always put them back if you miss them too much when they’re gone. 5. Move it Out! Now comes the hard part, actually taking all the stuff you’ve gathered and moving it someplace else. This is where your local Alhambra Self Storage facility comes in handy. Find a unit that suits your climate control needs and make sure there’s a little extra room in case you want to move things around later or add to what you remove. Take measurements and be generous with allowances. Look At Your New Space and Enjoy While it may be difficult to decide what to keep in the house and what to put in storage, once you do so, you’ll feel very good about the work you’ve done and the space you’ve created. Decluttering your home can also make your mind feel a lot clearer. So grit your teeth, make some hard decisions, and make your living space better than ever!
