It’s a struggle to maintain order in storage areas. It’s easy to unload items, walk away, and forget about the mess left behind. Storage areas are where you shove items you no longer use, where you store items you have guilt about getting rid of, and where you put items too large to easily throw out with the garbage. Out of sight, out of mind… until you actually need to find something. We’ve all been there. It’s hard to justify spending time and money to get storage areas organized because the disorder is likely not impacting your daily life. But, there is value in getting the ‘behind-the-scene’ areas of your home organized. You’ll get that feeling of weight being lifted when you get rid of the things you no longer need, you’ll have the clarity of mind that comes with order, and imagine all the time you’ll save looking for things. Follow these 4 simple steps to organize your storage space…

You may have a storage space with an overwhelming amount of stuff and not a whole lot of time to dedicate to the project—that’s okay! Start organizing one category at a time (i.e. Tackle the Christmas bins when you get those items out to decorate for the season. Sort through the home maintenance items before you embark on your next home project.) Slow progress is better than no progress!
