Are you in the middle of a storage crisis?  If you’re like most of us, the holidays have come and gone, and this cold weather has got many of us cooped up in homes overflowing with stuff.  It’s hard to know where to get started tackling things but we are here to help!  Here are some cheap and easy storage solutions that will help your home look like new again!Mess

  1. Purge. Yes, it’s always the first on the list, it’s time to get rid of some things.  Make piles when you’re going through stuff – broken, fixable, or giveaway.  Two of those pile will go immediately out the door either to a good home or charity (give-away) or trash for that stuff that’s beyond repair.  Be honest with yourself – if you haven’t used something in years, it may be time to go, you’ll feel better with less stuff to clean up!
  2. Storage Furniture. Let’s face it, we all could use more storage.  Furniture makers have heard your call and have made lots of new and innovative furniture to meet your storage needs!  You’ll find cocktail tables with hidden storage, reclining sectionals with storage consoles, affordable storage beds with storage drawers, you name it!  These are great ways to optimize the space you are already using for your furniture without adding a new piece.   Urban Furniture Outlet is your source for storage furniture in Delaware!
  3. Hire Someone.  Yes, believe it or not, there are companies out there that will come into your home and purge and organize your stuff for you!  For those who feel like things have gotten beyond what they can handle or just don’t have the time to tackle it, this is a great option.  Whatever you decide not to keep is immediately brought out of your home and whatever can be sold you will may bring you a good chunk of change!
  4. Some more ideas. Baskets are a great accessory that you can stick in corners, under tables or on shelves to be a family catch all.  Benches by the front door can be created into central station for a busy family, hanging coat racks, storage benches, baskets for cleats, etc.  You can even use basket and drawer organizers to keep drawers from becoming problem areas as well.

Finally, look on our Urban Furniture Outlet Pinterest – we’ve got a page called ‘Storage & Organization‘ that gives tons of great ideas on ways to sneak storage into any space.  There are lots of easy, cheap, and creative ways to fit storage and organization into your home and make life a whole lot easier!
