Empty Nesting? Save Space With Self Storage
Big life changes open up new possibilities. For parents who are now empty nesters, that newfound freedom often means making space at home again. When your kids move out, you may find that your rooms are full of old furniture and memorabilia that you don't need anymore. A self storage unit at StaxUP Storage can help you organize and repurpose your home so that your child's things don't take up important space in your home.
The First Step: Downsizing and Decluttering
When your kids move out, you may want to seize the opportunity to clean your home. Sorting through years' worth of stuff can be stressful, since you never know what has sentimental value or what your kids will want for later; a storage unit is a safe and easy way to keep things you don't want to get rid of.
Commonly stored items for empty nesters include:
- Childhood keepsakes, like photo albums, trophies, and school projects
- Sports gear and equipment from any sports that your kids still play
- Furniture that no longer suits your updated home layout but has sentimental or practical value
Preserving Family Heirlooms
When you clean out rooms your kids used to live in, you might find sentimental belongings and family heirlooms that you want to keep safe for the future. These kinds of things are best served by being stored in a climate-controlled storage unit. Many StaxUP Storage facilities offer climate-controlled options for storing more fragile items like antique furniture, handmade crafts, and old schoolwork.
Repurposing Rooms Without Sacrificing Memories
After your kids have moved out, you can turn their old bedrooms into rooms that fit your new way of life. Whether you want to make a home office, a workout space, or a guest room, storing things you don't use lets you remodel without having to decide immediately what to keep and what to throw away.
Hobby Supplies and Seasonal Gear
When you find yourself an empty nester, you may have time to do things you've been putting off, like travel or a hobby. Self storage is a great choice for anyone who does crafts, active outdoor activities, or things like gardening. Consider storing:
- Camping gear, kayaks, and fishing equipment
- Craft supplies, fabrics, and tools for creative projects
- Luggage or seasonal wardrobes for frequent travelers
Putting these things away at StaxUP Storage keeps your home clean and ready for your next trip whenever you want to go.
