Back-to-School Storage Tips for Allentown Parents and Students
Back-to-School Storage Tips for Allentown Parents and Students
StorHouse Self Storage provides Allentown families with several ways to help make the Back-to-School Season less chaotic. Now is the time to Organize Your School Season using the ideas listed below for Storage Tips.
Use a Functional Drop Zone
At the end of the day, backpacks, lunch boxes, gym bags and other stuff that take up all the space in your home and create clutter. Assigning a functional drop zone keeps all the items collected in one spot instead of spreading them throughout the house. Summer gear, past school projects, and outgrown toys can be kept in a storage unit and the working drop zone will be free of clutter and easier to manage. This keeps your mess organized and easy to access as everything is orderly.
Seasonal Clothing & Accessories
Weather and temperatures in the Allentown area changes quickly and before you know it, closet space becomes stuffed and unorganized. To prevent clutter, implement a seasonal wardrobe rotation system. Store seasonal clothing and accessories in labeled bins and store the bins in your storage unit to work along the daily routine of getting the kids ready for school.
School-Only Storage Bins
A practical method for maintaining organization of all the kids’ school related items is to assign a “School Only” bin for each child. The “School Only” bin should include excess paper, notebooks, binders, arts & crafts materials, sports equipment, and seasonal uniforms. Many people find themselves with too much stuff in their home so if you choose to use bins as I suggest, consider storing the bins in a StorHouse Self Storage Lehigh Street until they are needed again.
Assistance During the College Transition Period
There are numerous educational institutions, colleges and trade schools in the Allentown region providing Allentown residents with opportunities for education and employment. Additionally, the constant movement between campus locations creates a need for temporary storage of household goods while the student is away. StorHouse Self StorageLehigh Street is the ideal option for storing household items when a student is away for winter break, when dorms close during the summer, when a student cannot bring furniture into an apartment due to space constraints, or when a student moves from one dorm location to another during the middle of the year.
Maintain Organization of Athletic Gear Through Out the Year
From football to basketball to baseball and track, many sports are played year-round and thus, there are many sport-related items that enter the home, resulting in a continuous accumulation of these items. If no organizational method is used to maintain order of athletic gear, garage spaces and hallway areas can easily become filled with clutter. Use a seasonal basis to organize the workout gear in your home and allow some space to remain organized and clutter-free.
Reduce Clutter and Create More Productive Study Spaces
Students do better academically when they work in a clean and uncluttered environment. Remove those old notebooks, past projects, past textbooks, and other irrelevant items that are occupying valuable space and distracting your children from focusing on their studies and learning efficiently. When you remove distractions, your children will be able to stay focused and organized throughout their school year.
