New Year, New You: Tips to Get Organized So You Can Start the Year Off Right!
The new year is the perfect time to take stock of your organizational opportunities and reassess and revitalize your space. Give thanks, get organized, and donate what you no longer need!
How to Store Your Holiday Decor
With the hectic holiday hullabaloo behind you, all that's left is to safely store your festive decorations away for next year. No need to panic—resetting your space is easy with the right tools! Use wheeled bins or carts to move larger decorations and take advantage of outdoor storage space like a backyard shed, if you have one. Be sure to label all your boxes or containers so you know exactly where to your find all your favorite items at the end of the year!
Get a Jump on Spring Cleaning
For many, organization around the home tops the list of neglected New Year’s resolutions. Whether the problem is inside, outside, in the garage, or all over, we suggest expanding the amount of available storage rather than simply trying to reorganize—trust us, it will make cleaning up a lot easier! Add a Suncast outdoor storage solution to handle the overflow and you’ll be ready to ring in the New Year in no time.
Cool Storage for Cold Weather
Winter storage can be overwhelming without a clear organizational strategy. If you only need a little space to stow tools and accessories until spring, a small deck box is a stylish and practical option. If you’re looking for something more versatile, our extra-large deck boxes can fit firewood and rock salt with plenty of space to spare.
Donate What You Don’t Need
Free up valuable storage space inside by donating items you no longer use or don’t need. There are many organizations and charities that accept donations, and passing along unneeded items will help ensure that they go to good use in the future. While you are gathering items to donate, it’s a good idea to store everything out of the way in a low-traffic area such as the garage or in a Suncast deck box to keep your home neat and tidy and ready for family and friends!
