How to Organise Your Belongings in the storage during House Downsizing?

If you’re downsizing and know you’re not going to fit all your belongings comfortably in your new abode, this guide will help. Most of your items will slot into two categories, that you want to keep and pieces you’re happy to throw away or give to a new owner.

Your options for sorting your items:

• Give away – give to friends or family or leave outside with a ‘free to a good home’ sign
• Donate – take to your local charity shop or organisation
• Sell – online or at an old-fashioned car-boot sale
• Throw away – bin or take to the tip
• Keep – these are the items you want to take with you

However, the real quandary comes when the items you want to keep surpasses the available space you have in your new home. It can be difficult to picture whether everything will comfortably fit, and you may have desires to get creative with storage solutions in your home.

However, that will take time. In the meantime, you won’t want to live in a house that’s packed to the brim with stuff. You’ll want to live comfortably.

So, what are your options in this circumstance?

You could take a cut-throat approach and throw out more items, even the ones you still like. But, if you have a sentimental attachment and pieces that you just can’t bring yourself to get rid of, the good news is that you don’t have to.

Storage is a great way to pack your excess items when you’re downsizing. It’s a safe and secure, home from home. From furniture to clothes and crockery, you can store plenty of items.

So, don’t forget that furniture storage is an option when you’re moving house and have less space.
