Moving and storing your belongings can be a daunting task. However, with careful planning and decluttering, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free process. The experienced team of Perth removalists at Aarons Removals Perth have put together some helpful tips on how to prepare your items for storage in Perth.
Start the Decluttering Process Early
Don’t leave it until the last minute to declutter your belongings in preparation for storage. The earlier you begin, the less stressful the storage process will be. Starting early gives you greater flexibility should plans change, or things come up.
Schedule specific times for decluttering, even 30 minutes a day until the day of the move could be enough should you start early.
Cover One Room at a Time
Don’t decide to declutter the whole house at once. This can quickly become overwhelming and lead to giving up. Choose to focus on one specific room at a time, and only move on to the next room when you are happy to.
Deciding What to Keep and What to Let Go
When storing items, you will need to evaluate what items you need to access, and what items you still want, but don’t need to use straight away.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I use this regularly?
- Do I have multiples of this item?
- Does the item have sentimental value?
- Could I replace this item easily if needed?
It is recommended to store the items you might want at the top of boxes, or in separate clearly labelled boxes, that way they are easier to access.
If there are items you decided you don’t need, consider donating them to a charity shop.
Label and List Items
When packing items for storage, you can create a list of what is in each box. This makes it easier for you to understand what is in each box should be when you finally get your items from storage. It will also make it easier for you when you are working out where to put each box in your new property.
