With the festive season at hand, Halloween ushers in celebrations, most of us are busy with parties, decorating our homes, and cleaning them to accommodate guests. While one may be caught up in so much excitement, it is a nice time to remember that the one thing most people do not know how to do is make space for all those activities. Be it a spooky get-together or just a refresh for your home for the festive period, decluttering and creating space is vital.

Decluttering helps in enhancing the festive vibe, but it also reduces stress by making your home more organised. What is the best solution that can help along this path? Spacebox Self Storage has ideal storage options for Birmingham residents to temporarily take away clutter from their homes in preparation for festivities. Continuing on the subject, in this blog, we share storage and cleaning tips when preparing for Halloween.

Halloween is all about fun, yet it also involves a lot of space for decorations and costumes, events one may have. Before going all out decking the halls with spooky décor, take the time to declutter your home.

Free Up Room for Decorations

From pumpkins to skeletons, other spooky stuff, it is all about making room for these festive things without clutter in your home.

Create a Safer Environment

If you are going to host a party or receive trick-or-treaters, you will be better off with clear walkways and a clutter-free space, for obvious reasons.

Ease of Cleaning

Decluttering simplifies your cleaning task. With fewer items to sort through and work around, you can focus on the essential dusting and cleaning well before guests arrive.

1. Decide What to Keep, Store, or Donate

The first step towards decluttering involves a major decision: what to keep, store, or give away. Go room by room, and decide what you will be needing in the coming weeks. Clothing out of season, furniture not in use, or even bulky items such as summer sporting equipment can go into self-storage in Sutton Coldfield. This way, you will have free space and are assured that your goods are well-kept.

2. Direct Attention to High-Traffic Areas

High-traffic areas include the living room, kitchen, and hallway. These are the places where all the action takes place during festive gatherings. They therefore deserve more attention when it comes to decluttering. Remove any unnecessary furniture, old magazines, or clutter that might impede traffic.

You may want to rent larger items, such as a spare chair or a coffee table. Spacebox will be able to help you out by renting from 10 SQFT to 450 SQFT units that would be ideal for temporary storage in case you have huge furniture or items that you want to store.

3. Organise Seasonal Decorations

Halloween decorations and costumes may take up a lot of space, especially if not stored properly. Instead of cramming all the stuff into your closet after the celebrations, organise them in clearly labelled boxes. You can then store the same in a self-storage unit and have easy access next year.

Via self-storage options in Solihull or even any vicinity close by, you are able to store your Halloween gear safely with no blockage in your house.

When storing seasonal items in a storage unit, safety and efficiency are key. Following are a few storage tips to consider:

1. Choose the Right Storage Unit Size

Spacebox Self Storage has flexible contracts that allow you to upgrade or downgrade the size of your unit depending on your needs. Be it just storing a few boxes in a small storage unit or a larger area for storing furniture, we offer storage units of different sizes. Their small 10 SQFT-sized rooms are ideal for decorations, while the larger rooms are able to hold furniture and appliances.

2. Securing Items in Storage

Store seasonal items in durable, labelled boxes so that they are not broken or misplaced once you come to take them out. Wrap fragile items, such as glass ornaments, first in bubble wrap or newsprint for extra protection. Every unit is individually alarmed in the case of Spacebox to put your mind at rest regarding the safety of your valuables.

3. Make Use of Vertical Space

Store items in your unit by using the vertical space. Stack boxes and larger items, such as furniture, against the walls to free up space and make things easier to organise. Spacebox offers free trolleys and a forklift service to make it easier when trying to move large items into storage.

Getting your home ready for Halloween does not have to be an overwhelming task. While getting ready for the festivities, taking some time out to organise and clean will give you that great comfort of your home not being cramped or cluttered.
