The spring season is here at last, and you may want to set aside some time in the coming months to clear out and clean up your home. Once you have organized your belongings, you may find you have an abundance of extra items on your property. Storage units offer the perfect space for hanging onto extra belongings until it can be used again. Let’s take a look at a step-by-step guide to eliminating household clutter.

Step 1: Clear Out Drawers and Closets
Over the months and years, your household storage areas can get filled with extra items. Rather than letting your drawers, shelves, and closets get overloaded with clutter, you should take the time to completely clear them out. Once you have removed items from your household storage spaces, you will be ready to take inventory and truly begin the decluttering process.

Step 2: Organize All of Your Items
In order to achieve the best results from your decluttering process, it is important to take the time to completely organize all of your items. You can create piles for items you will keep, items you will toss or donate, and items that will be placed into storage. Making these piles will force you to carefully assess the usefulness of each one of your items.

Step 3: Rent a Storage Unit
Whether you have seasonal items you only use a few times a year, or you have decided you want to hang on to, but not use like certain furniture items, you might want to rent a storage unit to house your extra items. A storage unit facility will offer a range of storage sizes, so you can find a solution that meets your needs.

Holiday Decorations
The holiday season is a magical time for any household. Once the holidays are over, however, you may find that you have a surplus of decorations and ornaments that take up a significant amount of space in your household storage area. Since you typically only take out your holiday decorations once a year, you will be able to easily place these items and storage and take them out when they are needed.

Winter Clothing
