You Don’t Have to Move In Order to Declutter!

When people prepare to move to another house or apartment, they take the time to go through each room and pick out what they want to pack, what they want to donate, and what they want to throw away. Other than moving, many people don’t take the time to sort through each room, besides perhaps when they’re spring cleaning in March or April. Even then, they may only move things in order to dust and vacuum, and everything simply stays where it is.

At EZ Storage® in Pittsburgh, we want to help you declutter at times other than when you’re moving to a new place, and with our selection of self-storage units, you can find the perfect spot for those things you want to hold onto, but simply don’t have space for right now.

One Room a Month

If you’re thinking that renting a storage unit makes the most sense, then you might also think that you need to move as much stuff into it as soon as you can. While this is one possible approach, it’s okay to take it slow and work on decluttering one room a month. All of our units are available on a month-to-month basis, so you only have to pay for the time you need.

Starting with the bedroom can make the most sense, since this is where you keep most of your clothes and a lot of your personal belongings. You might have boxes of mementos in the closet, but what you’d really like is more space for your clothes and shoes. Putting those boxes into storage will give you the space you need, and you’ll know that your memories are protected.

The next month, you can focus on organizing and decluttering the home office. This room is meant to be efficient so that you can work on paying bills or doing your taxes, but if there’s too much stuff in the way, clearing it out can provide both mental and physical comfort. In month three, move on to the living room. If there are pieces of furniture that you want to put in storage, or the books are overflowing on the shelves, then pack some things up and bring them to your unit. If you find that you need a larger space, our staff will gladly help you find a bigger option that fits both your needs and your budget.
