Relocation or moving for any reason can be stressful and Los Angeles is a notoriously difficult and often intimidating place to move to. But never fear, UNITS Moving & Storage of Los Angeles has some great tips for living large in a small space.<\/p>\n
If your new home has left a lot to be desired in the way of closet space, it may be time to flex those creative brain muscles. If you\u2019re in a home with an attic, take care to properly store some seasonal belongings in plastic storage containers with labels. Some ideas include: holiday d\u00e9cor, chunky sweaters, extra bedding, outgrown baby gear, etc. Bonus tip: use clear plastic storage containers so you can easily see what\u2019s in there! If you don\u2019t have an attic, basement, or garage, then start looking in your bedroom. Under the bed storage keeps things organized, easy-to-reach and doesn\u2019t clutter up your new home.<\/p>\n
If, when going over your catalog of stuff for #1, you thought, \u201cThere\u2019s no way,\u201d then it might be time to streamline. Marie Kondo\u2019s best-selling book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up offers this advice: pick up an item in your home and ask, \u201cDoes this bring me joy?\u201d Whether it\u2019s an old t-shirt, a spare lamp or something you\u2019ve been meaning to re-gift, toss it if the answer is \u201cno\u201d or even if you hesitate. It\u2019s a great way to figure out what to donate and what to keep. Another pro tip: if you haven\u2019t worn\/used it in four seasons, you don\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n
I know. I just told you to get rid of everything. But there are a few handy gadgets that will allow you to save space in any home. A few of our favorites: thinner hangers will allow you to fit more clothing in your closet, space-savings bags (that allow you to suck out the air with a vacuum) are perfect for extra bedding, and buying furniture that doubles as storage (like storage benches for the end of the bed) are all great options.<\/p>\n
Look around at all your furniture. There\u2019s no way you\u2019re going to be able to fit it! But maybe, with a little creativity, you can. You no longer have space for your desk, but you need a hall entry table. There\u2019s always an opportunity to repurpose old furniture for new rooms and new functionality. Some ideas include: bench or coffee table into upholstered ottoman, end tables into night stands and dressers into media consoles.<\/p>\n
