Most people who get a Montrose self-storage unit already have plans for what they’ll do with the extra space in their homes once they clear it. However, if you’re one of the few who just likes the idea of off-site storage, or your home feels vacant and barren after the de-clutter, here are a few things you can do to fill the vacuum. 1. Throw a Party You’re probably going to find a more permanent use for the space, but while your home is cleared, throw a big party. Not that you really need an excuse for a party, but it’s nice to have guests “ooh” and “ahh” over what a beautiful, tidy home you have. 2. Follow Your Passion Remember that thing you always wanted to do, but didn’t have the time or the energy? There’s a good chance some of that was coming from the clutter in your home. Messy spaces have an uncanny way of sucking the life out of a person. Now that you have less to keep up with, start that home business, DIY project, or hobby you always wanted to. 3. Prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse You don’t actually have to believe that zombies are coming, but most people agree it’s wise to have emergency needs like food, water, and medical supplies on hand. Even if you’re only preparing for inclement weather, having these items in your home can provide peace of mind. Of course, there’s certainly no harm in being prepared for zombies as well, and the CDC agrees. 4. Turn Your Space into Cash If you’ve got an entire room empty and the idea of having someone live with you doesn’t creep you out, you can rent out a room. Not only will it provide you with a hopefully steady supplemental income, but you’ll have backup (or a human shield) if zombies really do show up. 5. Leave it Vacant Some people just like having empty space and that’s ok. It’s nice to have a clear living area and it makes you feel happier and healthier. If this is the case with you, just kick back, relax, and pat yourself on the back for a job well done. No matter how you use the empty space you’ve created in your home by renting a Montrose self-storage unit, you’ll be glad you did. There are tons of useful and creative things to do, and you’re sure to find the right mix for your personal needs, even if that doesn’t include a zombie preparedness plan.
