Admin | July 13, 2020 @ 12:00 AM

Most people would agree that it's nicer to have an open and organized home than it is to have a cluttered and disorganized space to come home to. The trouble is, many people don't know how to achieve the home that they desire.

If you're not sure about how to cut the clutter, or how to fit your belongings into your compact house effectively, we have some home storage ideas that can help. Many of these ideas would benefit from access to self-storage units in Boise, ID as well.

Keep reading and learn how to change your home into an open and neat place to hang your hat at the end of the day. 

Remove Unnecessary Items from Your Home Fast

The first step to achieving your home organization goals is to get rid of the stuff you don't need in your house. Almost everyone has items they don't really need at home. This is probably the case for you as well.

Look around your house, and set aside any objects you know you don't want, or things you suspect you don't need. This could be clothing, kitchen appliances, tools, or anything really. If you don't use it regularly, set it aside. Make a pile of things you think you might want but aren't sure about, another for things to junk, a pile for donations, and one for things to sell.

Place the things you aren't sure about into a storage unit for a few months and then get rid of them if you don't miss them. You can use your storage to hold the for-sale items as well but should get rid of the junk and donations as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary clutter. 

Swap in More Functional Furniture

Once you've done away with the clutter, it's time to focus on functional furniture upgrades. Consider swapping in side-tables with hidden drawers and storage compartments. Get a coffee table with built-in storage, look into storage trunks, and consider getting furniture that you can swap in for multiple pieces of existing furniture in your home.

Look to maximize storage space, or to clear up room in your home with your furniture swaps. You can complete this process quickly if you have the money for new furniture. Go through the steps fast by storing your current furniture in Storage in Boise, ID, until you can sell it, and move in the new items to enjoy their benefits immediately.

Alternatively, you can sell your old furniture before buying the new, but this takes longer. 

Invest in Functional Shelves and Storage Devices

If your home has tall ceilings, you can leverage that vertical space to store more items without making things look cluttered. Invest in home storage shelves that go higher than your existing shelving. Add floating shelves that use up open space on your walls and create a spot for those extra items you aren't sure what to do with.

Just be careful to leave some open space in your home as well, or you will risk making things look too cluttered. 

Swap Your Belongings with the Seasons

After you've maximized your home's storage, it's time to consider the items you're keeping in your home that you don't need to use all the time. You can invest in self-storage in Boise to hold seasonal tools, clothing, decorations, and other equipment until you eventually need them.

If you're always storing off-season items in your unit, you're opening up important space in your home. Here at Wise Space™ Storage, we offer secure storage space and flexible unit sizing. Get the perfect sized space for your needs and use it to supercharge your organization efforts at home.
