Decluttering Before a Big Move? Space Shop Self Storage Can Help

Getting ready for a big move? Before you start packing boxes, take some time to declutter your home. Downsizing your belongings not only makes moving easier and faster—it also helps you start fresh in your new space.

At Space Shop Self Storage, we know how stressful moving can be. That’s why our clean, secure storage units are the perfect solution for keeping your belongings safe and organized during the transition. Whether you’re relocating across town or across the country, self storage gives you the breathing room you need to focus on what matters most—your move.

Here are a few tips to make decluttering before your move a breeze:

1. Start Early and Sort Strategically

Go room by room and create three piles: keep, donate/sell, and store. Seasonal items, furniture you plan to use later, and sentimental keepsakes can be stored safely in a climate-controlled storage unit at Space Shop.

2. Use Self Storage as a Staging Area

A storage unit is more than just extra space—it’s a staging area for your move. Store packed boxes and extra furniture ahead of time to clear out your home for showings, movers, or cleaning. Plus, our flexible month-to-month leases make it easy to rent storage only as long as you need it.

3. Keep Your Move Organized

Label everything clearly and store items you’ll need right away—like kitchen essentials or seasonal clothes—near the front of your unit. With extended access hours and secure keypad entry, you can get to your items whenever you need them.

Decluttering before a move doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a little planning and the right storage partner, you can make your move smoother, simpler, and stress-free.
