Maybe you’re starting your new year’s resolution 9 months late or just generally trying to get the most out of your space. There are some pointers you should remember before de-cluttering your home, which will make the process a lot easier! As a storage unit company, we have accumulated some top tips to store items in your home which will mean that they won’t be in your way, they won’t be an eyesore and most importantly, they won’t be at the back of your mind! 

We know how hard it can be to get a job done or even concentrate in a mess, so take a look at our pointers below. 

Plan your space

Before you go marching over to your other half to start the clear up process, make a plan! Our Store That E14 team always recommend to our customers what storage units are best for them so they can then plan how they will use that space most effectively. Take into consideration some aspects, such as height of your ceilings, room obstacles such as radiators or cupboards and any objects that are scattered around. Try to establish where you’re going to put the bulkier items and maintain a system when packing. It’s important to know what you’re going to store away, too. It’s no good putting spare quilts and duvets at the back of the cupboard and the rarely used golf clubs in front of them, because it’s going to be a hassle when you need the bedding again! 

Invest in creative space solutions

Whether you’ve got custom built shelving, or pre-made storage boxes, you should take full advantage of these to maximise your storage space! Anywhere in your home that has empty space, purchase some empty storage trays and make use of that area. That way, you’re utilising your space! This is particularly useful for the smaller types of objects, such as hoodies, collectables and accessories which you only use at Halloween! 

Stay organised

It’s pointless going through the hassle of clearing your whole house out to then go back through it a month later because you can’t find something. Make sure that when you’re packing your belongings away for the foreseeable future, you’re labelling as you go! It means that at a glance, you know exactly what the storage box contains and don’t need to unnecessarily go through everything stored away again. The team here at Store That E14 love to get creative and are a bit OCD when it comes to keeping our storage units organised!
