- Decluttering is essential before storing items to ensure
you're only keeping what truly matters.
- Investing in versatile furniture like IKEA's PAX wardrobe system
or deep-drawer dressers can maximize storage without breaking the
bank.
- Avoid storing items under the bed to maintain a clutter-free and
restful environment, but if necessary, ensure items are neatly
organized.
