Having plenty of storage space in your home is a regular battle for most of us. As quickly as you manage to make some space, it is just as quickly filled up. Here we look at ways you can maximise your home’s storage space and how short term storage Edmonton will be of help. 

First things first, declutter!

The word “declutter” may fill you with dread, but it is a superb way to make more space in your home. 

We all have so much stuff within our home that we do not use, do not wear or sometimes we have even forgotten we own! 

Place everything into one of three categories: Throw Away, Give Away, Keep. Do this room by room and you will quickly find a great deal of space has been made. 

But you have to see it though. Take everything in the ‘Give Away’ pile to local charity shops. Throw away everything in the ‘Throw Away’ pile. 

Find some great storage solutions

A part of being able to maximise your home storage space is to make sure everything is organised and has a home but also that it is to find and get to when you need to use a certain item. 

Many people swear by using clear plastic storage containers. These allow you to see what is in each container, saving you time and effort when looking for something. 

Label, label, label

This brings us to our next tip – label everything. Even when using clear containers, you need to have a label which tells you what is in it. 

You can go fancy and purchase a label maker for this but a sharpie and a blank sticker will do the job just as well. 

Use the space wisely

Place everything you use often in a space which is easy to get to. You do not want to be constantly having to look in a container for an item you use everyday. Have a set place on a shelf or in a drawer where you can easily find your everyday items. 

Use short term storage Edmonton 

Once you have decluttered and organised, if you find that you have items which you do not have space for but, equally, you do not want to part with, look into short term storage Edmonton. 

Short term storage Edmonton will give you some extra space to store as much as you need in a safe, secure unit.
