With the new year comes thoughts of what was accomplished last year and how you will make next year a little better. Using your storage shed to declutter is a great way to organize the physical items in your life that can be kept outside but still need protection from the elements and theft. There are three steps to organize your storage shed:
Clean The Shed Up – Most back yard storage sheds or garden sheds have the floor covered with a pile of yard tools, chemicals and other things that sat on the garage floor for a few years before being banished to the shed. By organizing your shed you will have more space to use and be able to find the thing you are looking for more quickly. This gives you space to store some of the things you have in your home that you do not use too often.
Store Things Off The Floor – Using the space above the floor is a great way to add storage space to your storage shed. Some shed plans have instructions on how to add a shelf on the shed walls or in the rafters. These new storage areas are a great place to store smaller items or items that can be organized in storage bins.
Use Storage Bins To Organize – Storage bins are a great way to keep like things together and store them. You can put labels on the outside of the bin so that you know what is in the bin without taking it down every time you are looking for something. If you have a lot of bins you may want to create a organization system on paper or the computer and simply number the bins. Then when you need to know what bin or box the item you are looking for is in you can simply look it up on the paper.
The start of a new year is a great time to resolve to declutter your home and get your things organized. Not only will you feel better about your self and living environment, freeing your life of too much stuff also makes you more productive. So make a commitment today to organize things a little better and use your storage shed to help you do it. To find the perfect shed plan to help you get organized visit us at icreatables.com
