Decluttering:

The definition of decluttering is to remove unnecessary items from an untidy or overcrowded place. Despite this being perhaps technically accurate, we think there’s a bit more to it. It’s not just focusing on the unnecessary items you accumulate, it’s also about creating a comfortable space to provide mental and emotional clarity, by managing your belongings. So how can decluttering help you?

  1. Reduces Stress: Have you ever been sitting in your room and become overwhelmed, this could be because clutter bombards your senses and can make it difficult for you to focus or relax. Decluttering can help provide a peaceful environment and help you get back on track.
  2. Boosts Productivity: It might seem silly but when you live in a cluttered environment, this can hinder your productivity, because you are constantly thinking about other distractions. Creating a clutter-free space promotes better work habits and increases your efficiency!
  3. Increases Creativity: A clear space can boost your creativity and allow inspiration to strike. It’s like an artist with a blank canvas – so many possibilities and space to think up new ideas.
  4. Enhances Well-being: Surprisingly your environment can have a big impact on your mental and emotional well-being. Chaos in your environment can create a stressful and uncomfortable mood, whereas creating a clean and organised space will positively impact your mood and can allow you to feel content while being surrounded by order.

Using Self Storage To Help Declutter

Decluttering is a great way to feel more organised in your own home, but there may be items that you can’t bear to part with, or seasonal items that you don’t want to have taking up room while you are no longer using them. This is where self storage comes in and how it can be a helpful tool to keep your home clutter free.

  1. Temporary Storage: This is a great way to store items you don’t need daily, for example seasonal clothing, decorations, photos and other sentimental items. Using a storage unit provides a secure and convenient solution to keep your home organised.
  2. Downsizing: If you are downsizing your home, you may have more furniture and other belongings than can fit into your new home. If this move is temporary, or you aren’t ready to part with your belongings, then using self storage can be a great option to make sure your possessions are looked after and protected until you need them again.
  3. Organisation: Self storage units come in a whole range of sizes – at The Store Room we offer rooms from as small as a telephone box to the size of a double garage (and even bigger)! This means you can find the perfect size to suit your needs. When storing your items you can organise and categorise them, so that they are easy to locate when you need them.
  4. Safety and Security: Using a reputable self storage provider should give you complete peace of mind while storing your items. The Store Room has robust security measures such as; state-of-the-art intruder alarm systems, 24 hour CCTV, PIN-controlled access, and fully trained staff on site.
  5. Free up space: By storing less frequently used items into a self storage unit, you free up space in your home, making it more spacious and less cluttered.

 

Ultimately, decluttering is something that everyone can benefit from; whether that is improved mental health, better focus, and creativity, or even just a new space that feels more like home. Self storage is a practical solution to free up space, while making sure your belongings are kept safe and secure.
