Is clutter taking over your life? It's time to regain control of your space and find the peace and organization you crave. In this blog, we'll explore three common storage options: cleaning and reorganizing your home, renting a storage unit, and the ultimate clutter-busting solution — a storage shed. We'll guide you through the pros and cons of each, but let us give you a hint: storage sheds are the game-changers you've been searching for. Stick around to discover the path to a clutter-free life and explore our inventory of storage sheds that will help you declutter your space for good.

Harnessing Harmony: Strategies for Managing Clutter

Clutter isn't just about having too much stuff; it can lead to stress and affect your mental well-being. To regain control, consider maximizing existing storage spaces with organizers, especially in bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. You can also invest in furniture that adds storage without sacrificing living space. You can even try turning catch-all spaces into organized storage areas by decluttering unused items and maximizing storage potential that way. Ultimately, however you decide to do it, you want to give your items a designated home in your space. When everything has a place, it’s so much easier to put things away, see what you have, and live a less cluttered life all around. 

Increasing Space: In Your Home

Most of us start our decluttering journey at home. After all, it’s the absolutely most convenient of the storage options to keep things safely stored. But what about when your home simply can’t keep up with the items that you have? 

Use Closet And Cabinet Organizers

Don't settle for the often limited storage space in your closets and cabinets. Utilize vertical space with organizers to store items more efficiently. You can find all kinds of solutions in this area when using vertical space. From hanging organizers to shelving, you’re sure to find a solution that will help you to make the most of even the smallest closet spaces in your home. 

Organize the Attic and Basement

Have you ever forgotten about items that you have tucked away in an attic or basement space? You’re not alone! But even for those longer-term storage items like family heirlooms or holiday decorations, it’s important to declutter and organize these often overlooked spaces to maximize storage potential. Make sure that you are keeping only the items that you truly want to hang on to for another year (or more!). Then, once you can confidently say that you are happy with what you are holding on to, take advantage of shelving, bins, boxes, or other storage solutions to keep things organized and easily accessible when you need them. 

Increasing Space: A Storage Unit

Temporary Storage Solutions

Renting a storage unit is a good option for a temporary storage solution or when moving or renovating. However, it does come with some significant drawbacks. Though a storage unit may be useful for temporary decluttering and storage, the monthly cost can quickly become expensive. Additionally, having your storage space away from your home can be inconvenient. What if you need that one tool for a home improvement project that is stored in your storage unit? Looks like you’re pausing your project and driving across town. 

Downsides of Renting a Storage Unit

Not to mention that at a storage facility, your items are only as secure as the facility as a whole. This may be a pro if you find a facility that has a great security system, but also note that you’ll likely pay a premium to store your items there. The alternative is that security may be overall lacking, particularly if you are storing valuable items or meaningful family treasures. For short-term or low-value items, a storage unit may be a good fit. However, you’ll want to consider your plan in advance so that you don’t end up paying more than you bargained for!

Increasing Space: A Backyard Storage Shed

Versatility of a Backyard Storage Shed
