As the leaves change and the holiday season approaches, now is the perfect time to refresh your space. Fall is an ideal season for decluttering—before the decorations come out, guests arrive, and gift-giving adds more to your home. At USA Storage Solutions, we’re here to help you make room for what matters most.

Why Declutter in the Fall?
The fall season gives you a natural opportunity to evaluate your home before winter sets in. Whether you're preparing for holiday hosting or just want a cozier, more organized space, decluttering now will save you time and stress later.

1. Start With Seasonal Swaps
Put away summer gear—think patio furniture, pool supplies, beach toys, and summer clothes. Store them safely in a storage unit to free up valuable space in closets and garages.

Bonus Tip: Label bins clearly so everything is easy to find when warm weather returns.

2. Declutter Room by Room
Take it one space at a time.

Living Room: Clear surfaces, donate old décor, and make room for holiday decorations.

Kitchen: Toss expired pantry items and donate unused kitchen gadgets.

Guest Room: Prep for holiday guests by removing clutter and storing extra furniture or boxes.

3. Create Space for Holiday Essentials
Decluttering now means you’ll have space for:

Holiday decorations

Gift storage

Wrapping stations

Overnight guests

A clean, uncluttered home makes the holidays more enjoyable—not stressful.

4. Sort, Donate, and Store
Make three piles: keep, donate, and store. If it’s not used often but you’re not ready to part with it, a storage unit is a great solution.

At USA Storage Solutions, we offer flexible month-to-month storage options, so you can store your items short-term or year-round—whatever fits your needs.

5. Use Storage to Your Advantage
Instead of overstuffing closets or sacrificing garage space, consider offsite storage. It’s a smart way to:

Protect seasonal items from damage

Keep your home organized

Reduce visual clutter during the holidays
