Storing Winter and Spring Items, Bringing Out Summer Essentials
Storage is sometimes an apartment living challenge. You might not feel it’s worth the effort to change decor throughout the year. With the right organization, though, it’ll be easy to swap out seasonal items.
Sort by Seasons
If you store your decor and necessities by season, it’s easier to swap them. You can simply pack up the spring and winter boxes, and then unpack the summer ones. Make sure your storage is clearly labeled and easy to reach.
Closet Makeover
Consider changing your closet with the seasons. Store clothing not suitable for warm weather and get rid of anything you don’t wear. You’ll have more closet space, an easier time finding things, and the opportunity to donate or toss unwanted items a few times a year.
