What Has More Room In Your Home: Your Possessions Or Your Family?
When there are to many items in your home, you may begin to feel like the clutter is taking over your home and that it is impossible to keep your home clean. There is a different between clean and messy. There are areas of the home that need to remain clean, but mess is something that can be cleaned one a week, or maybe even hire a maid service to get the mess cleaned. But when you have too much stuff, cleaning and removing mess can become a challenging task.
A sure sign, that you have to much stuff, is when you begin to think about getting a storage unit for it all. Instead of a storage unit, you should go through your home and remove any item that you have not used in the last year, or have never used at all. If items have been sitting around for years, waiting to be used, then it is typically a safe bet that they will never be used.
Holding onto things and collecting things are two different concepts. You can collect a certain item, or you hold onto an item that contains a certain memory. However, when you are holding onto an item that hold a memory, you should realize that you do not need the item, in order to have a clear memory of the specific moment. Instead you can take a picture of the item, and then donate or get rid of the item to free up some room in your home. Things that you will want to keep include seasonal clothing and decorations. But if these items are so plentiful that you will still require a storage unit to store them, then you should also go through them to see what you can get rid of, and what you need to hold onto.
A few seasonal cloths or decorations should be able to fit is some bins in the attic or the garage. Bins are great for those bulky parts and you can stack them up in the garage. If you have a walk in attic, they are easy to tote upstairs and neatly stack away.
If you have things such as cloths that you want to protect, the vacuum bags work great to take the storage space problem away, but you have to wash the cloths before wearing them again because they get a weird plastic smell. You can store these types of bags under your bed or in a closet. There is also a product that lifts the legs of your bed up about six inches off of the ground to open up a little more storage area.
