Some people can stay in the first home that they buy forever and never have any space or storage issues. However, most people find that they have either maxed out the amount of space they have for people – or belongings – and they need a larger place to live. How will you know when you need to upgrade your current home? (And what can you do if you are not in the market to get a new home?) Here are six signs that will let you know that you should start searching for a new abode and how US storage centers can help: 1. Finding space for new items that you purchase is a challenge. Some people simply cannot fit that fantastic living room set in their meager sized living rooms. However, if you find that you just cannot live with the current furniture that you own and you are in the market for a new home, you may be able to put that fabulous set on layaway until you move in. For any extra or unused furniture, we offer varying storage unit sizes to accommodate those items or anyone who is in transit. 2. Your living room has become a bedroom. This is typically a sure-fire sign that you need a larger home. It may be that one of your children has outgrown the bunkbed in the room that they shared for many years with their other siblings, or maybe your grandmother had to move in. Either way, if your living room is now a bedroom, it is probably time to rethink your living quarters. You can also consider keeping any extra clothing, sports equipment, or other items in a storage unit to save space. 3. You cringe when family comes to visit. Let’s face it. We can’t all have the space to house all of the family members who flock to our homes on Thanksgiving or Christmas. In fact, most of us don’t have that kind of space. Should you upgrade to a new home? If you find that you are spending more time moving things around to accommodate family – and they never leave once they come to “visit” – you might need to think about moving into a larger place. For those times that family comes to visit while you are trying to sell your new home, consider storing any unnecessary items in your unit, including seasonal decorations or clothing. 4. You are constantly bumping into furniture. Some people are naturally clumsy. But, if that is not the reason that you are bumping into your furniture, you may need to look into a larger domicile. Instead of throwing your furniture out on the street, you can keep it in a storage unit until you make it into your new place. 5. The “wish list” for your home keeps growing. If you wished you had an extra room, then you wished you had a sunroom, and then you wished you had some more closet space, you may need to think about getting a bigger home. 6. You feel claustrophobic in every single one of your house’s rooms. We understand that most people are not in the market to buy a larger house. Just because we want a larger house does not mean that we have the means to buy one. What you can do instead is rent a storage unit at our US Storage Centers in Tampa and declutter your current home to make more space. Of course, it is not as exciting as getting a new home, but you might just feel like you have a new home with all of the extra space you will have once you are done.
