What’s in the Closet: If you’re like me, I used my closet to store my partners junk, man stuff, antique items, and his gazillion boots and shoes. This man did not need all those items in our apartment closet so I told him it had to go into storage. Does this situation sound like yours? Write down the items in your partners man cave or woman’s den, prioritize the list of what to keep and what to put in storage.
What’s Under the Bed: Did the clutter monster jump out and scare you silly? That means its time to clean the dust from under the bed, secure the lost socks in sock heaven, and put the unwanted but valuable items aside for storage. Aren’t you glad you have home cleaning tips to help with your storage needs now, when was the last time you looked under the bed?
What’s in the Entertainment Center: If you’re reading this blog post, you have switched over to the digital age. You do not need Queen’s entire musical discography in your entertainment center unless its that most prized vinyl. Even then, store the items because you’re either keeping them because you do not know what to do with them or you like to show off your musical taste. I am sure your last guest walked into your home with a iPod stuck in their head. Store old CD’s, tapes and albums.

You do not have to give up your most prized possessions or furniture, store it for a little while until you figure out what exactly you want to do with it.
Here are some items that couples typically argue over whether to keep or not.
Entertainment Centres- Unless you have a massive house or apartment, there is no need for two large units in your new couples home. Determine which piece fits your style and mark the other for storage.
Beds– Again, unless you have a spare bedroom two beds will make the space uncomfortable. Keep one bed in storage and save it until you upgrade to a larger apartment or home.
Futons– There is a big chance the futon is his and its pretty ghastly looking. Store it.
Area Rugs- Does his or her rug not match your pattern or motif? Store it.
End Tables- You only need a few end tables. Do not clutter your new lifestyle with unused tables, store it.
Kitchen Items- Unless you’re a couple of chefs, duplicating your kitchen ware can become a sight. De-clutter the kitchen and store the duplicate items.
Floor Lamps- A home only needs but so many floor lamps unless your an artistic lighting professional and find use of extras. If not, store it.
Now that the list of items you can store to declutter your new lifestyle as a live-in couple, make a detailed list of all the items you both have that are duplicates, decide which items to keep, and reserve your storage unit today for the unwanted items.
