Want To Declutter But Have A Sentimental Streak? How A Storage Unit Can Help You Streamline Your Home.

Published: May 14, 2021

If you’re anything like us, you’ve admired photos of minimalistic-looking homes and thought to yourself, “Wow, that must be nice, but that could never be me.” The thought of having a streamlined, decluttered home sounds appealing, but the reality feels like an impossible task. Well, having the home of your dreams may be easier than you think.

Dedicate a space for your nostalgic items!

The hurdle that most often stands in the way of having our desired living space is all of the ‘stuff’ we accumulate throughout our lives. That trophy you won in 7th grade, the camping equipment you use once a year, all that paperwork you need to hold onto but never actually use. When we try to declutter, we tend to approach these items with the mindset that there are two options—keep something or get rid of something. But there is a third option that can allow you to be the sentimental being that you are and free up your home and your precious closet space, and that answer is storage! 

Storage can be a valuable part of managing your household. You do not have to Marie Kondo all of your belongings to have a sleek home. You can decide to hold onto some of your child’s baby clothes or that painting that belonged to your husband’s grandmother without actually having to incorporate every single item you own into your home decor. PLUS, another way how a storage unit can help you is by lessening the number of items in your home while also making your closets more efficient. Instead of filling your closets to the brim with things you never take out, your closets can live up to their full potential by being used to put away things you regularly use, freeing up even more room in your living space. 

You should not have to choose between memories and having a cleared-out space. That’s where we come in! Start by making a list of the items you want to keep but either do not fit into your decor, take up too much space in your closet, or you only use once in a blue moon. From there, you can pack these items away. Units will drop off a storage space directly to you, and since we rent by the month, you can take your time to thoughtfully sort through your things and move them little by little. Once you have finished, our staff will pick up your unit at a time convenient to you, and we will hold onto your precious things until you’re ready to use them again. Plus, if you decide to move at some point, you will already know what items you want to hold onto, and they will already be packed and ready to go. Investing in a storage unit will help you organize your possessions while giving you more flexibility.
