Tips on Downsizing When Moving

PHOENIX, ARIZONA – March 18, 2013 - While your furniture and other belongings may have fit well in your old home, it likely isn’t the case if you are moving to a place with smaller square footage. It is unwise to move all of your belongings to your new home and attempt to squeeze everything into place. You will end up with nothing, but clutter, which can make the process of moving and settling in even more stressful.

If you are downsizing, consider sorting through your items to determine what things you need and what things you can live without. Armour Self Storage, one of the premier self storage facilities in Phoenix, would like to offer the following list of tips to help you cut down on the amount of items for your smaller space:

·         Throw away anything unusable. As you are sorting through your items for packing, throw away all items that have been ripped or broken for a long period of time. If you don’t plan on repairing and using these belongings, there is no need to pack them and move them to a new place where they will sit once again and collect dust. As a bonus, you will also cut moving costs.

·         Have a garage sale. If there are clothes, electronics or any other items that you never use, don’t hang onto them with the excuse, “just in case I need them someday”.  Instead, you can earn some extra money while also reducing the amount of items you have to pack and move. If you aren’t interested in a garage sale, consider donating to a local charity. Either way, your items will be better off in the hands of people that will actually use them.

·         Rent Phoenix self storage units. If you just can’t part with certain items, such as antique furniture, artwork or anything with sentimental value, and your new home doesn’t have the space for them, consider Phoenix self storage. Most storage facilities in Phoenix offer a wide variety of unit sizes at affordable prices to meet each person’s storage needs.

Implementing the above tips will reduce the amount of clutter during your move and will keep you organized. While it is ideal to get rid of all belongings that aren’t used on a daily basis, most people have a number of items that they simply will not get rid of, such as those with sentimental value or those that are used seasonally. For these items, consider the services of Armour Self Storage, offering spacious self storage units in Phoenix. Our Phoenix storage facilities are constructed with masonry block and concrete, and are equipped with computerized entrance and exit gates, which keep your items completely safe while in self storage in Phoenix.
