But before you start planning your party menu, give some thought to your house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your home is your party destination and will impact the entire feel of your soiree. Nothing kills the easy-breezy party vibes for guests like a crowded, cluttered house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">summer party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> up for success by decluttering your home as your first step in party preparation.

Consider this a win-win. Not only are you getting your house into great party shape, but a thorough decluttering can make your living space more enjoyable long after your guests have left.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steps for a thorough house decluttering:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work through one room at a time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by picking up anything off the floor and putting away anything that doesn\u2019t belong<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a hard look at every item in the room and determine if it still serves you.\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do your kids still do those puzzles or play those board games?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are those wall decorations a little out of date?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When\u2019s the last time you actually used that bowling ball?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establish four categories and assign every item in the room to one of the categories:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sell\/Give Away<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trash<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for anything that may be taking up extra space that you don\u2019t need on a regular basis.

While self storage probably isn\u2019t necessary for smaller summer parties, it can be an excellent option for larger parties where you need to clear out a lot of space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some things you can put in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">summer storage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help you get your house ready for your unforgettable party:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large pieces of furniture, like your grandmother\u2019s China cabinet, to make more room for guest seating or open up your party space<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Valuable and\/or delicate items that you want to protect<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seasonal items you don\u2019t currently need, like your space heater, ski equipment, and holiday decorations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lawn ornaments, large toys, or big hobby materials that are taking up too much floor or yard space<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Office furniture, if you need to clear out your guest bedroom for overnight guests<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the Right Storage Unit for Your Summer Needs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During your decluttering effort, make a list of everything you put into your \u201cStore\u201d category. This list will help you choose the right size storage unit for your needs. Most storage facilities offer a variety of small, medium, and large units for rent. You can also check out our Price Self Storage <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/self-storage\/size-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">size guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to get a better idea of what fits in our most popular unit sizes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you choose your unit location. Elevator access units are usually the most cost-effective, but they can be a hassle if you need to move large items or plan to visit your storage unit a lot. Drive-up access and first-floor units may be a little pricer, but they give you a lot of extra convenience in return.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you only plan to store your items for a short amount of time, make sure you choose a self-storage location that offers month-to-month leases. You don\u2019t want to be stuck in a long-term lease when you only need to store for the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">summer party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the Party: Other Ways <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer Storage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Helps You Live Uncluttered<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renting self storage doesn\u2019t just have to be a great <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">summer party idea<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

If you need to stash a few valuables and one or two small furniture items, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/self-storage\/size-guide\/5x5-storage-unit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">small 5&#215;5 storage unit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should do the trick. Want to clear out your office so it can be used for a guest bedroom? A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/self-storage\/size-guide\/10x10-storage-unit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medium 10&#215;10 unit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a good pick. A medium unit can also store lots of garage items, lawn decorations, and an extra appliance or two that you need to get out of the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I access my items easily if I need something back from my summer storage unit?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s always a good idea to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/more-storage-space-organizing-your-storage-unit-for-the-new-year\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">organize your storage unit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a way that allows you easy access to all of your possessions. You never know when you might need that box you tucked all the way in the back. Consider adding stand-alone shelving to your unit for better organization and keeping one or two aisles open. Clear, easy-to-read labels on every box will also help you find exactly what you need in your unit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does seasonal storage help if I\u2019m planning multiple <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">summer parties<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or have guests visiting throughout the season?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self storage is an excellent option if you need to keep items stored throughout a season or longer. First, a storage unit allows you to switch items in and out, so you can bring your most cherished items back home between events and then store them again during your party. By choosing the right-sized storage unit, you can also turn your office or living room into a guest bedroom for any family members or out-of-town friends who want to visit. Just make sure you choose a self-storage facility with month-to-month leasing so you only pay for the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">summer storage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you need.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is the perfect season to invite the neighbors over for a backyard barbeque extravaganza, volunteer to host your family reunion, or bring your friends together for an epic sunset cocktail dinner.\u00a0 If you\u2019re ready to become the hostess with the mostest, step one in your summer party prep is to get your house in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":7473,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16,251,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-live-uncluttered","category-organization","category-tips","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Easy Summer Hosting: Prep with Summer Storage Solutions<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Planning a summer party?
