A Practical Decluttering Guide from Luigys Moving & Storage
🧠The Big Question
Whether you’re moving, downsizing, or just trying to declutter, one question always comes up:
“Should I keep this, store it, or finally let it go?”
At Luigys, we’ve helped hundreds of people through this process—and we know it’s not always easy. This guide is here to help you make smart, simple decisions.
âś… When to Store It
1. It’s Seasonal or Occasionally Used
Holiday decorations, winter clothes, or camping gear—these don’t belong in your everyday space. Storage keeps them safe and out of the way until you need them.
2. It’s Sentimental but Not Essential
Photo albums, keepsakes, and heirloom furniture? If you’re not using them daily but want to hang on to them, a secure storage unit is perfect.
3. You’ll Use It in the Future
Maybe you’re planning to reuse a crib, save furniture for your next move, or keep tools for a project. Store it now—use it later.
4. You’re In Transition
Selling, remodeling, or in between homes? Storage gives you the breathing room to move on your own terms.
❌ When to Let It Go
1. You Haven’t Used It in Over a Year
If you forgot you had it, you probably don’t need it. Consider donating, selling, or recycling it.
2. It’s Damaged or a Duplicate
Chipped dishes, broken lamps, or the third coffee maker—skip the storage and clear the clutter.
3. You’re Holding It “Just in Case”
Ask yourself: how long has “just in case” been? If the answer is over a year, it might be time to let go.
4. It No Longer Fits Your Life
If it doesn’t work with your space or lifestyle anymore, it doesn’t need to stick around.
🔄 Quick Decluttering Tip
When packing or cleaning, use three labeled bins:
Keep | Store | Donate/Sell
It speeds up the process and removes decision fatigue.
