Smart Storage for Seasonal Transitions
As the holidays approach, you’ll need to find smart ways to keep your extra items secure and clear out space for the seasonal festivities. Thankfully, you can find space to keep your belongings organized through every season.
Our team at Trojan Storage provides seasonal storage tips to maintain a clutter-free home during the holidays.
Prepare Your Home for Guests
One way seasonal storage helps during the holidays is when you prepare your home for guests. Visitors are often a part of the holiday season, so you’ll need space to accommodate them comfortably.
Rearrange the furniture and add extra chairs for company if needed. Prepare the guest room in case anyone stays overnight by changing the sheets, dusting, and providing fresh blankets and towels. Don’t forget to add some decorations to give your home a wintry touch, such as twinkling lights, garlands, scented candles, and holiday figurines. When the season ends, pack up and store the seasonal decorations in a personal storage unit.
Declutter Your Home
Whether you have guests or not, another great way to keep your home space tidy year-round is to declutter on a regular basis. Staying clutter-free and organized can help relieve stress, even during the hectic holiday season. Practice mindful organization—a technique that helps you manage belongings based on how you feel, rather than external standards.
Go through each room and sort all items you plan to keep at home into categories. Assign a designated place to each category, such as clothing in the closet or cooking supplies in the kitchen. If you don’t have space for an item at home, consider storing it. Remember to keep your storage unit organized like your home.
Seasonal Item Rotation
When you need temporary storage for seasonal items, self storage can be the perfect solution. These versatile spaces allow you to rotate out your belongings at your leisure. With flexible month-to-month leases at Trojan Storage, self storage allows you to rent a space for as long as you need without committing to a long-term lease.
Some common seasonal items to keep in self storage during this holiday season include:
- Seasonal decorations
- Outdoor equipment
- Patio furniture
- Out-of-season clothing
- Sports equipment
- Summer gear
Sensitive-Item Protection
Some common items, such as paper decorations or photo books, are more sensitive to extreme weather conditions. Even in milder climates, temperature changes can still cause wear and tear on your seasonal belongings.
With the perfect size and type of storage unit, along with high-quality packing and moving supplies, you can provide your temperature-sensitive items with the much-needed protection they deserve. Explore storage tips from Trojan Storage to learn best practices for packing.
