Have you ever gotten frustrated dealing with your closets bursting at the seams with heavy jackets and boots in the summer? Or are your t-shirts and flip-flops taking up too much valuable closet space in the winter?
Many families living here in Texas struggle with managing limited wardrobe space. Instead of continually having to go through and pare down your wardrobe every year, why not opt for seasonal clothing storage?
Storing your off-season clothing away from your home is a convenient and practical way to keep your home organized and your clothes in great condition. Even better, when you rent with a local storage facility like Texas Mega Storage, you’ll know your clothing will always be easy to access.
What are the Benefits of Seasonal Clothing Storage?
You Can Maximize Your Closet Space
Trying to cram your entire wardrobe into your closet can be tough, especially if you’re a fashionista or live in a small space. Storing off-season clothing in a storage unit can free up some of that valuable room and make it a lot easier for you to access all the clothing you need for the current season.
It’s not just about easy access. Overstuffing your closets and drawers can lead to wrinkles and even damage.
Your Clothing Will Remain In Great Condition
Storing your off-season clothes in a spare bedroom, attic or garage may seem like a good idea. However, it can actually leave them vulnerable to damage.
Texas is famous for its high humidity levels, extreme summer heat and fluctuating temperatures throughout the year. All of these factors can cause serious damage to fabric over time, such as discoloration, mildew, mold and lingering odors. Delicate fabrics and leather items are particularly at risk.
Pests like insects and rodents may also be attracted to improperly stored clothing items, especially those made of wool and cotton.
By choosing a well-maintained, clean, climate controlled unit, you can help keep your clothing safe from these threats.
You’ll be Able to Easily Transition From Season to Season
Here in Texas, we experience hot and humid summers. Even though our winters are mild, the Spring area can still get hit with unexpected ice and freezing cold weather.
Switching between breezy summer t-shirts and heavy winter gear can be a hassle at the end of every season, especially when you have limited storage space in your home.
With seasonal storage, your family can quickly and seamlessly transition between seasonal wardrobes. It’s easy: just pull up to the storage facility and retrieve your items whenever you need them, 24 hours a day.
You’ll Have Convenient Access to Special Occasion Clothes
All of us have special clothing items that we wear once or twice a year at most. But do you really want formal suits, fancy dresses and ugly holiday sweaters clogging up your valuable closet space?
Why not keep these items in a safe space outside of your home instead? You’ll always know where they are, and you’ll easily be able to access them whenever you next need them.
It Helps You Declutter Your Home
Clutter is stressful to look at and live in. By removing items you’re not currently using to a different location, you’ll be able to create a more peaceful and appealing home environment. As an added bonus, it’ll be much easier to find and appreciate the clothing you currently have in your closet.
It’s Perfect for Growing Families
If you’re a busy parent with a growing family, chances are you’re always looking for easy ways to declutter your home – including your kids’ closets. But it doesn’t always make sense to get rid of clothing your older kids have outgrown, especially if their younger siblings will be able to wear them in a year or two.
Seasonal clothing storage is a great way to hold onto clothing your kids have outgrown, or outfits they won’t need until the next season. It’s also a convenient place to store maternity wear if you’re planning on having more kids in the future.
Tips for Effective Clothing Storage
Clean Everything Before Storing
Give all your garments a wash, and ensure that everything is completely dry before you put them into storage. This helps prevent stains, odors, mold, mildew and pests.
Use a Climate Controlled Unit
Fabric can discolor or become damaged when exposed to Texas’s extreme heat, temperature fluctuations and humidity. Climate controlled units are your best bet if you want to store your clothing long-term. These units will stay within a comfortable temperature range similar to your home, so your clothes will remain in great condition no matter how long you store them for.
Use Vacuum-Sealed Bags
Clothing can take up a lot of room, especially winter gear. Vacuum-sealed bags are a great option to help you save room. They remove all the excess air from your clothing, making everything a lot easier to store. As an added bonus, vacuum sealing your clothing makes it a lot less vulnerable to pests, dust and other damage.
Label Everything
There’s nothing more frustrating than going into your storage unit to find a certain item, only to have to dig through a dozen unlabeled boxes to find what you need.
We recommend labeling every box or bag you store. Be detailed: “Mary’s Summer Shirts” is far more helpful than simply “Shirts.”
It’s also helpful to organize clothing by season. Keeping all your winter jackets stored together will make it a lot easier to find them when the weather starts turning cold again.
Store Your Accessories Too
Don’t forget about your shoes and accessories! Keep everything organized with shoe racks and clearly-labeled bins or boxes, so you’ll be able to easily find what you need.
