Tips for Rearranging Your Bedroom

Sketch it, plan it and make it happen.

It’s never a good idea to start rearranging your bedroom without a plan. Take out a sheet of paper, and start coming up with ideas. Make a few quick sketches before moving things around. With a solid plan, you’ll be able to get the job done quicker and to have things exactly how you want them.

Make the bed a focal point.

Some people have so many things in their bedroom that the bed becomes an afterthought. It’s time to make your bed the focal point in the room. Move it to the center of a wall, and rearrange everything else around the bed. Make sure to keep the flow from the bed to the dresser uninterrupted, ensuring an easy way to walk around the room without clutter and other furniture getting in the way.

Store clutter the smart way.

If you have more stuff than you know what to do with, don’t keep it in your room. It’ll only take up valuable space. Storage units are the key to reducing clutter in your bedroom. Maybe you have too many clothes for your small closet, or perhaps you could use a smaller dresser or fewer nightstands. Put what you don’t need in a storage unit until you need it again or sell it for cash later.

Rearrange the Easy Way with Self Storage

Just because you have a small bedroom doesn’t mean that you’re left with no room for rearranging or bringing in new things. Make the most of your space by moving the clutter and unused items into storage units at Access in Plainfield, NJ. With the clutter out of the way, you’ll have the freedom to do more with your room and make it a space that’s uniquely your own.

How to Store Photos Safely

When you think about it, almost all your material possessions such as electronics, clothing, furniture, even your books and vinyl records, if lost, damaged or destroyed are replaceable. However, that’s not the case with your photographs. While we’re living in an age in which almost all of our pictures are taken and stored digitally, many of us still have a treasure trove of old printed photos and family collections packed away somewhere in the home. If not stored properly, those photos are at risk of being damaged by physical enemies like moisture, pests and even exposure to adhesives and chemicals found in common photo albums.
