1 Sort and purge

The first step to storing seasonal items in a small space is to sort and purge your belongings. Go through each category of items and decide what you need, love, and use. Donate, sell, or recycle anything that you don't want or need anymore. This will free up space and make it easier to store the items that matter to you.

It pays to be more minimal with your possessions when you have a small space. Really removing all the things you don't use and setting in place regular decluttering practices.

2 Choose the right containers

The next step is to choose the right containers for your seasonal items. You want containers that are sturdy, stackable, clear, and labeled. Sturdy containers will protect your items from dust, moisture, and pests. Stackable containers will save space and create vertical storage. Clear containers will let you see what's inside without opening them. Labeled containers will help you identify and locate your items quickly.

Creating an organised and uncluttered home is achieved by seeing your home as a series of systems. The benefit of adding containers, baskets & tubs is to make that system obvious and visible so it can be maintained. If you are a very visual person it's also possible to make the system very aesthetic and pleasing to the eye through the choose of baskets and containers.

3 Use hidden and unused spaces

The third step is to use hidden and unused spaces in your home to store your seasonal items. For example, you can use under-the-bed storage boxes, over-the-door organizers, or vacuum-sealed bags to store clothing, bedding, or pillows. You can also use the space behind your sofa, under your stairs, or on top of your cabinets to store boxes or bins. You can even use hooks, shelves, or racks to hang items on the walls or ceilings.

Guest rooms are a great place to store off-season clothing. If you don’t have guests frequently, store off-season clothes here. If you do have frequent guests, it's still a great space to store off-season clothing. Guests typically aren’t staying for months, so they don’t need all the space. Reserve half for guests and use the remaining half for off-season clothing. https://unjumbledhome.com/tips-to-organize-5-types-of-closets/

Unused spaces can be great to eek out that extra bit of space - but it is a balance. Using too many of these spaces can have the impact of making the space feel cluttered. Ultimately its better to get rid of as much of the stuff you don't need to keep.

4 Rotate your items seasonally

The fourth step is to rotate your items seasonally. This means that you only keep the items that you need for the current season in your main storage areas, such as your closet, dresser, or shelves. The rest of the items go to your secondary storage areas, such as your attic, basement, garage, or storage unit. Every few months, swap your items according to the changing weather and needs.

There are many benefits to rotating items seasonally. 1. You only see what you are using. 2. Your space feels more spacious as a result. 3. The rotation process gives you the opportunity to review and declutter every six months. Setting this habit stops clutter building up again.

5 Maintain your system

The final step is to maintain your system and keep it organized. This means that you regularly check your containers for any damage, wear, or expiration. You also declutter and donate any items that you no longer need or use. You also make sure that you return your items to their designated containers and spaces after using them. By doing this, you'll avoid accumulating clutter and wasting space.

A well designed system should let you know when its time to declutter. ie. The box for said things is overflowing Also having places in your home to put items to declutter that you periodically empty can help you declutter more regularly.
