Ensuring your home is ready for the sunny season can be a breeze with the help of self storage Exeter units. Wednesday the 21st of June marked the official start date of Summer 2023 and the team at Your Store Exeter are enjoying the long evenings, lighter mornings and warmer weather which comes with it! But while you might be totally ready for the sunny season, your home may not be.
In this blog post, we will explore some practical tips for preparing your home and how Exeter storage can help decluttering your summer. See below our top five tips to prepare your home for summer.

A change of season is a great time to throw away or relocate unwanted, unloved or unused items. That winter coat you’ve had hanging in your wardrobe for the last three years which hasn’t been worn once? Or those old DVDs that have been collecting dust since you signed up for all the streaming services? It may be time to clear up valuable space.
Our wide range of personal storage units are available in various sizes, and can help free up valuable space in your house. See our 10 decluttering tips for your home for more information.

It’s time to get the light summer duvets out. Lighter fabrics will help to keep you cooler during the summer nights. In addition, some mattresses have winter and summer sides, designed for different temperatures – so give them a flip!
Pop the thicker bedspreads into our quick and easy long term storage Exeter during the hotter months – you can always switch them back when the summer comes to an end! While you’re at it, why not swap out your winter wardrobe for your summer clothes and store all of your cold season jumpers, tops and cardigans in one safe, dry and secure space?

As mentioned above, during the warmer summer days, you won’t have need for your heavy and bulky winter clothes. Items such as winter coats, jackets, boots, snowboards, skis or ice skates can find a new summer home in our dry and secure self storage Exeter units. Not only will this help you make the most of your existing space but offer a safe and dry place to store your belongings, protecting them from damage or harm.

Summer is a perfect excuse to replenish and revamp your garden space whether you want to create a haven of tranquillity or a place for entertaining guests. If you have a wide range of outdoor garden furniture and items which you will need to store in a secure, dry and cost-effective space, consider storing them in our garden storage units during the winter.
You can then retrieve your furniture from storage in summer and give it a quick cleaning before setting it up. Storing seasonal outdoor furniture such as patio chairs, tables, BBQs and umbrellas in safe storage solutions for outdoor furnishings not only ensure longevity but protect them from becoming damaged during the long, cold winter months. See our article ’5 items to store in your garden storage’ for more information.
