Simple Guide and Advice on Storage Planning
If you’re short of cash, family and friends will offer a motley collection of furniture and other bits and pieces to help get you started. I’d recommend that you keep the useful ones and resist the temptation to horde items that are of no immediate use – you’ll only become a means by which other people shed unwanted possession.
For first time home owners, this is a simple guide and advice on storage planning. Based on personal experience, most first homes tend to be on the small side. That means you start with a basic shortfall of space to put things. If you’re sharing accommodation with friends or a partner, that shortage of space is all the more acute. If your parents have enough room, you may want to sort and keep old belongings in an out-of-way location until you can give them a permanent home yourself. Else, I’d suggest that you be ruthless – discard or donate.
For a couple setting up home for a first time, pool your possessions and dispose duplicate items. While she may want to keep her favorite cookbook, there’s no point in retaining 2 bread knives. Keep the one that works better or newer or better quality.
