With a new year not too far away from us now, isn’t it about time you cleaned out your home? Christmas can bring an overwhelming number of new items your way, and finding space for them can be killer. After all, you’ve already got a home that’s jam-packed with barely any storage space left!
But you shouldn’t let this stop you from having the best new year possible. How? With a good declutter of your living space.
A quick declutter will do you the world of good – you might find you have plenty of clear floor space to walk through. And the best news? You can take some time to clear out right now without getting bored or exhausted during it! So if you want your home to be free of clutter by the time 2023 gets underway, we’ve got the best tips for you below.
Deep Clean Your Home: The Benefits
There are many benefits to deep cleaning your home, especially before a new year hits. Let’s go through the top 3:
Less stress over mess
Until you do a deep clean, you won’t even realise just how stressed you were about the levels of clutter you didn’t know what to do with. So let us tell you now. If there’s nothing in the way, there’s nothing spoiling the view! And let’s not even mention just how much better the traffic in your home can get. You can host guests without embarrassment, and always find a place to put something new when you bring it home.
You’ll be more organised
Being organised means you can find things when you need them. If you’re rushing out the door and you’re late for something, this completely removes the panic you’d usually feel. This is especially good in homes where you’ve got young children to ferry around. Kids’ items can go missing very easily, but if there’s no mess in the way, you can put a proper organisation system together.
Bring in some extra money
Clearing out your home is a great way to make some extra money when you really need it. Separate your clutter into three piles: throw, donate, and sell. Once the first two are dealt with, you can put the latter pile up on eBay and sites like it, or take it down to a local sale or an antique shop and see what you can get for it. That’s a cosy nest egg to get started just after the Christmas spending period!
Start with the Most Important Room
When it comes to clearing up storage space, do you know what the most important room is? No, it’s not the bedroom, it’s not the living room, and it’s not even the kitchen. It’s the attic! The one place in your house where you can open a hatch, throw things in, and then shut them away until you need them again.
Tackle the attic first. Get up there to see how far back the clutter stretches, and then take a day to go through everything. Settle all your stuff into the three piles mentioned above, and try to get at least half of the room back for use later on. If the attic is clear, you’ll always have extra space.
Work with Fairy Meadow Self Storage
The best way to get the clutter out of your home is to work with a self storage company.

In the meantime, you’ve got much more space in your home to make good use of. It’s the perfect way to start 2023! Here at Fairy Meadow Self Storage, we guarantee that your items will be safe throughout their stay with us.
