Four Easy Storage Solutions

Have too much stuff cluttering your home? Here are a few helpful tips to make your home more storage-friendly, even in a small space.

4 Helpful Tips for Storing Stuff At Home

1) Use Vertical Space

Create vertical storage systems. This can be as simple as stackings bins and boxes or as elaborate as an entire shelving system. Just make sure that however you choose to stack and store, things are secured safely. It is also a good idea to store your heavier items on the bottom so that nothing is damaged.

2) Double Duty

If you have a lot of appliances to store, consider which ones can be used for multiple purposes and prioritize those. Chances are you may be able to get rid of a few and free up more space. Tools and sporting equipment can also be stored away or rotated seasonally.

Rent certain tools rather than buy and store them.

3) Outside Storage

If you have a lot of outdoor gear, it may be helpful to store it where you’ll use it. Consider adding a shed, additional garage space, or even just a small weatherproof box on your back porch. All of these things can make storing outdoor gear easier and more convenient.

4) Slim Down

Ask yourself: How much do you really need the things that you are storing?
Are there any that you don’t use anymore?
Anything that would be cheaper or easier to rent when needed rather than store?

Paring down can help you use and enjoy your home’s space in a whole new way!
