Are you selling your home but need to declutter and use some home self-storage?  Here are some tips on how to declutter your home with the help of self storage in Bristol.

Moving house is usually an exciting time but the selling process can be traumatic especially if you’ve accumulated lots of belongings over the years.  But first impressions count and many professional de-clutterers will remove half of a home’s contents to make it feel more spacious.

Decluttering helps rooms look bigger it also removes personal items that buyers don’t want to see.  Subconsciously buyers are seeing how your life and theirs compare, as they are aspiring towards a “better” life when they move. If you have filled your home with your personal story, then there’s no room for theirs….

One of the best ways to start is to take a photo of the room.  This is what a potential buyer will see when they look at the estate agent’s details.  Have a look at the photo – does the furniture look like it’s in the right position? Are you focussing on the stuff in the room or the room itself?  You will probably see what stands out most.  The aim is to maximise space and give the home a “show home” feel.

Things to look out for when decluttering:

• You have too many personal items in the house whether it be family pictures, or private collections.
• Some items of furniture are too large or too small for the room. Use a home storage company like Dynamic Storage to store any items until you move.
• Maybe you are using the room for the wrong purpose for example the dining room is a study. Put it back to what it should be and put the study furniture into house storage.
