As the seasons change we can find our homes filled up with items we won’t need until winter roles back around. Our storage Brighton will be a brilliant solution.

As spring and summer arrives, you will find yourself with a lot of items around your home that you will not need until autumn and winter come back around. 

Seasonal clothes, equipment and decorations will be cluttering up your home and they really don’t need to as there are many storage solutions available including our storage Brighton. 

Declutter your home, declutter your mind

Many people don’t realise that having a cluttered home not only impacts your physical space but also your mental health. Having a cluttered home has been shown to have a detrimental effect on your wellbeing as it can increase stress levels and lead to a lower quality of life. 

How does it have an impact on your mental health? 

Clutter leads to increased stress levels as it stops us from being able to fully relax within our homes. Studies have found that people have higher levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, when they have more clutter within their home, compared to those who keep a clutter free home. 

Having a cluttered home can also lead to problems with focusing as clutter can be extremely distracting. It can make it harder for you to think clearly and lead to procrastination. 

Letting go of your clutter

There is a strong human desire to hold onto things. We get very caught up in the sentimentality of certain items and then there is the voice that tells us we might still use certain items and we best save them.  Many of us feel we need to save things for later because we “might” use them at some point or we might be able to give them to someone else or sell it and make a good amount of money. 

There is also a level of decisiveness needed when it comes to decluttering which many of us do not have. An inability to make decisions about which items to keep and which to not can lead to some people feeling extremely overwhelmed. This leads to inaction and so the decluttering just doesn’t get done. 

How to get started 

If you have decided to do a full scale declutter, you will need to set aside some time in order to go through your items. In order to avoid being overwhelmed, do it one room at a time and take your time. 

Set aside chunks of time over a week or over a month, in order to tackle each room, placing items into boxes marked keep, give away, throw away and sell.

And then stick to these piles! Don’t let items work their way out of their boxes and back into your home. A great way to stop this happening is to get the entire family/household on board. This will help everyone feel listened to and a part of your new journey to a decluttered home. 

When it comes to seasonal items this should be extremely easy. Simply pack away the items you will not need until autumn/winter rolls back around. (Or spring/summer depending on what time of year you are reading this.)

This will include items such as:

• Seasonal clothing
• Sports equipment
• Holiday items – the Christmas tree and decorations can go into storage during the spring/summer months, your summer holiday gear and luggage can go way in autumn/winter 

Many people choose to use self storage for seasonal items as it allows them a safe place to store all their seasonal items and allows them to have more space at home. 

Our storage Brighton would be a great option for your seasonal belongings. Here’s why:

Storage units that fit your needs

Our storage Brighton has units that start at 15 sq ft and go all the way up to 150 sq ft. This means that no matter how many items or boxes you have, we will be able to find the right unit for you.
