It seems that there is just never enough storage in the house and the amount of belongings we own just keep mounting up. There has to be a time where you have to start donating, selling or throwing away items which are no longer useful as hard as that may sound to do, but where to start? De-cluttering can be hard, ironically due to all the clutter which is around you, but decluttering can be an easy task<\/a> if properly planned. In some cases self-storage units are the best option when you have limited space but have items which you want to keep. Nevertheless, you should still attempt you de-clutter your home as you know what they say a ‘tidy house, tidy mind’.<\/p>\n

Then seasonal items such as Christmas decorations, personally we always buy additional ones each year but then never throw out the old ones so our collection just keeps growing. And then move on to the rest.<\/p>\n

It’s also a good idea in such storage spaces to have shelving as it enables you to have the items organised and easily accessible. If you already have them make sure you sort them out to.
\n2. Wardrobe
\n<\/strong><\/em>In my opinion this is the worst area of all of them as somehow you just don\u2019t want to let go of these clothes which you may not have even worn for years. You somehow find your self saying ‘oh I could still wear that’ even though you haven\u2019t for the last two years and may have even forgotten about it but it still ends up on the ‘to keep pile’.
