More and more people are downsizing and moving into smaller homes. If you’re getting ready to do the same, here’s a helpful guide for you.
Change your mindset
It’s all about how you think and feel about the space, Forbes says. There’s plenty of things to love about going smaller: less maintenance work, fewer costs, and more money in your pocket, especially since maintaining a big home can mean spending a lot on heating costs alone.
Identify your must-haves
What will you bring with you to your new home? Go through your belongings and identify items you haven’t used in the last ten years. Throw them out or give them away. That should remove the clutter from your home, so you’ll have less to bring with you.
Pay for storage
If you still have a lot of furniture with you, many of which you can’t possibly fit into your new home, then hire a firm that offers moving and storage in Reseda. There’s no reason you should rush into a decision, especially if you’re having a hard time letting go of some of the pieces. Until you make alternate arrangements or figure out what to do with them, you can leave them in storage for the meantime.
Book ahead
Make sure you don’t lose your slot, though. If you’re reserving services for moving and storage in Reseda, make sure you book ahead. Do it about 3 to 4 months before your moving out day. That way, you won’t find yourself in a mad scramble, trying to find a moving firm when all the reputable ones have already been booked.
Change your habits
Moving into a smaller home entails more than downsizing and giving away or throwing out stuff. You’ll need to change your habits. That’s the only way you can cope with the limited possibility for storage.
