Tips for Organizing Your Attic
Attics are well known for being a dumping ground for seasonal decor and clothing, unused furniture, family memorabilia, children’s toys, and other items that you want to keep but are not used on a regular basis. Over the years, all of these items pile up in your attic and before you know it, you’re out of storage space and can’t even wade through the mess up there! By going through and organizing these items on a regular basis, you’ll be able to keep the junk at a minimum and allow extra storage space for items that matter the most.
Before digging into your next attic organization project, consider these tips!
Make a Plan
An action plan for cleaning and organizing your attic is going to make a world of difference. If you’re lucky, you have an extremely spacious attic, but that’s not always the case. As the area of your home with typically the least amount of space, it’s best to remove all of the items in your attic and place them elsewhere in your home so you have more space to sort through and organize everything. We recommend utilizing your driveway, garage, or deck for this!
Sort Through Everything
As you are going through all of the items from your attic, place them into three piles – keep, trash, & donate. This will keep everything as organized as possible and will give you a better overview of the items you have to put back into your attic. Any of the items that you are no longer going to utilize, give All Day Junk Removal a call today at (978) 682-2040 to schedule a fast & convenient pick up!
Consider Shelving, Bins & Labels
Now that you’ve gone through and organized all of the items that were previously in your attic, it’s time to decide how you are going to organize them once you bring them back up to your attic. If you have enough space, shelving is a great way to save space and organize your items. If not, bins and labels are a great place to start! Labeling your storage bins and boxes will help you remember what’s where without having to dig through everything.
