Seasonal Storage

Seasonal Storage doesn't seem like such a big deal and it's not.  It only happens when you have inadequate space to spare in your closet. When seasonal storage is necessary being organized is the best way to proceed.

First, you'll need to pick a place to put your things.  This is important. Pick carefully and try to avoid using problematic or frequently imposed upon spaces.  You should clear a specific area for your seasonal items.  That way you always know where to access them. This will also make retrieving them easier too.

What you need depends on what and how much you are storing. Obviously, this will vary by person or family.  Generally speaking, there are some basic items you should keep by your side. Unless you use shelves, you'll probably need storage bins or boxes if you prefer. You'll also need markers and labels if you're picky about writing on your chosen storage surfaces.  Labeling is easy, but make sure you keep all labels neat and facing outward.  Easy to read labels mean no unnecessary lifting later.

Typically, bins are used for anything that you do not want crushed. If it is important to you that the item not lose its shape, place it inside a bin of appropriate size.  You can use storage bins for many things. If space is a real issue or you're dealing with a moldy basement you must buy space bags.  They are perfect for storing clothes, blankets, etc.. Space bags come in varied sizes, are remarkable and affordable.  Honestly, once you start using them you'll never let go.
