Why Spring is a Great Time to Declutter and Invest in Storage

March 31, 2023

Ah, springtime. The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and the sun is beginning to shine brighter – and for longer. As we start to feel the first warmth and vibrancy of spring, what better time to start thinking about clearing out all that clutter that has been accumulating over winter.

Below, we delve into some top tips for decluttering your home and getting it ready for the summer months. So get your cleaning gloves on, put on your favourite tunes and get organising!

Time to Put Away Those Thick Duvets and Winter Woolies

Spring cleaning can be an overwhelming task, but it doesn’t have to be. Take your time and approach it one room at a time. Start by putting away all the heavy winter bedding and woollies you no longer need now the weather is warming up. These can include thick duvets, blankets, quilts or bulky jumpers and coats that take up all your wardrobe space.

Anything that won’t be used until winter rolls around again should be put away or stored in a safe and dry place. This is a great way to free up some much-needed room in your home and make it feel more open, light and airy.

Reassess Your Furniture Requirements

Spring is the perfect time to step back and assess what furniture you need in each room. Do you really need that bulky armchair in the bedroom? Are there any pieces of furniture that are taking up too much space or not being used enough? You’ll be surprised how liberating reclaiming that extra bit of room can make you feel.

Clear those surfaces and declutter your draws

Declutter any surfaces that have become dust traps and give them a good clean. We all have that one dreaded draw where we throw everything and anything in when we don’t know where else to put it. Take the time to tackle all those random items – decide what’s essential, what can be stored, and which haven’t seen the light of day in years (maybe time for the bin!)

Invest in Quality Storage Solutions

If you’ve gone through the hard work of decluttering your home but now find yourself needing a place for seasonal items, self-storage could be the perfect answer. Self-storage units are secure spaces where you can keep all your belongings safe and sound – and perhaps most importantly, away from your home! You’ll still have easy access to them when needed, and that’s why investing in self-storage solutions is a great way to maximise your available space while keeping everything organised and accessible.
