Downsizing Tips: Moving to a Smaller Home

Retiring, living a minimalist lifestyle, kids graduated college, regardless of the reason, downsizing to a smaller space is challenging. 

Declutter

Moving to a small space means decluttering your possessions. Follow these decluttering methods to help you decide what to purge for your new space. 

The Swedish Death Cleaning Method

The Flylady Declutter Boogie 

The Becker Declutter Method

The Box & Banish Method

Eliminate Duplicates 

Get rid of duplicate dishes, clothes, sofas and other items that no longer have purpose in your life. 

Measure, Measure, Measure  

Once you’ve decided on what you’re going to keep, take measurements of all of your furniture. Then measure every room in your new space. This will save you time and stress as you decide what will fit in your smaller place. 

Multi-Purpose 

Keep furniture that can double a desk and a table, space is at a premium at your new home. Not everything is going to work in your new space. 

Consider Self Storage

Give yourself time to think about letting go of some of your most important pieces that you simply love. Temporarily store stuff in a self storage unit until you have decided what stays and what goes. 

For many of us, there just isn’t enough space in our home for everything we own. For valuables you simply cannot part with but need to free up space, think self storage.
