Step Back to See the Bigger Picture

To overcome the overwhelm that you might feel with your mounting home storage needs, first, you need to step back and think about the bigger picture. Take time out and inventory everything that needs to be stored, classifying them based on several criteria. Determine the most suitable storage options for items based on their categories like keepsakes, daily necessities, and seasonal items. In each category, you can create subgroups of items that can be stored more similarly.

For instance, in your jewelry category, you divide your jewelry into the frail and tough ones, with frail jewelries needing a highly optimized storage environment. In your furniture category, you can create subcategories for items that can be dismantled or retracted for storage as well as for large bulky items.

A good place to store belongings is in a steel storage shed like the ones ShelterLogic offer. They are very secure and protect your valuables from the elements.

Explore Conventional Storage Options

Now that you’ve roughly classed all the items you want to store, you can go ahead and explore various storage options for each one, starting with conventional storage options. Think of cardboard boxes, hangers, racks, and cabinetry. These indoor storage options can help you create more storage room in both vertical and horizontal spaces indoors. Take care to label the boxes and bins properly to make it easier to find their contents when you need them.

For outdoor storage, garages, outdoor sheds, and self-storage units are your best bet. These options are highly versatile. They can secure anything from unused furniture to office inventories, sports gears, kids’ toys, and gardening tools.

Try Out Unconventional Storage

Alternatively, you can unleash your creativity to pull off sensational unorthodox storage feats around the house. Search the house for any unlikely space that can serve up decent storage spaces, from under the beds to under the stairs, under tables, room corners, and hollow furniture.

You can double down on hollow furniture storage with as much furniture as possible serving up some commodious storage room, including settees, benches, desks, and wall units. Use decorative baskets to spruce up the house and also create more storage room for light items.

Clean Your Items to Keep them in Good Condition in Storage

An optimal storage environment might just not be enough to ensure the good condition of the stored items. Before you begin tossing items in their designated storage places, you should clean them properly and make sure they’re in great condition. This will further ensure that you can put them to use straight off from storage without having much cleaning or fixing to do. It might sound overwhelming at first, but you should consider it as an investment to save yourself the costs of damages and repairs down the line.
