3 Tips for Downsizing

By DeVries Family Moving & Storage

Downsizing is not always a fun experience. Depending on the circumstance, it may be a very gloomy event. Even if you are excited for the move, it can be difficult to transition.

As Fort Pierce movers, we have helped many people with their downsizing move. Whether they are empty nesters or needing a more manageable home, we have years of experience that can help you with your upcoming move:

  1. Purge, Purge, Purge, and Purge More- This is an extremely important step in any move, but it especially important when you downsize. Whether you are hanging onto items because of the sentimental value or just forgot you had it, now is the time to sort through all of your belongings and get rid of what you don’t use or need.
  2. Look into Storage- For many people, downsizing means stuffing those decorations or out of season clothing in every corner and crevasse of the new home. This will make it seem smaller and isn’t fun to clean. Instead, if you still have too many belongings post purge, look into storage options for those seasonal items.
  3. Stay Organized – From start to finish and post move, it is important to stay organized with your belongings. This will help you put the right items in storage and will prevent you from cluttering up your new home.
