1. Color-Coded Bins for Easy Organization

  • Use transparent bins with color-coded lids (e.g., green for holiday decor, blue for kitchen items).
  • Label each bin clearly for quick identification.

2. Use Vacuum-Sealed Bags

  • Compress clothing, bedding, or other soft items with vacuum-sealed bags to save space and protect them from dust and moisture.

3. Protect Fragile Items with Pool Noodles

  • Cut pool noodles into sections and slide them over the edges of mirrors, glass tables, or picture frames to prevent breakage.

4. Take Photos for Reference

  • Photograph your items before storing them, especially valuable or fragile ones, for insurance purposes and to remember their condition.

5. Use Rolling Bins or Dollies

  • Store heavy items in rolling bins or keep a dolly in your unit to easily move things around when needed.

6. Label Electrical Cords

  • Use masking tape or tags to label cords and cables before storing them to avoid confusion later.
