New Year, New Space: Smart Storage Moves to Start the Year Right

The New Year has a funny way of making clutter suddenly feel louder. Decorations come down, routines reset, and that extra stuff you “dealt with later” last year is still… right there. The good news? A few smart storage moves can make the start of the year feel lighter, calmer, and way more organized.

At Cora Lee Storage in Waxahachie (2121 Murphy Court), January is one of the best times to reset your space — without rushing, without pressure, and without throwing things away just because it’s a new year.

Quick New Year Storage Wins

– Put away holiday decorations properly
– Clear living space without committing to purging
– Separate “daily use” from “seasonal use” items
– Start the year with organized storage, not stacked corners
– Choose the right unit size instead of guessing

Store Holiday Décor the Right Way

Holiday items are bulky, awkward, and only used once a year — which makes them perfect candidates for storage.

Wrap lights neatly, use plastic bins for ornaments, and label everything clearly. When next December rolls around, you’ll thank yourself for not opening five boxes just to find one strand of lights.

A 7×10 unit is often more than enough for holiday décor, seasonal inflatables, and winter-only items.

Ideal for storing furniture, boxes, seasonal items, small appliances, business inventory, or the contents of a one-bedroom apartment.

The Reservation Deposit is the deposit amount needed to reserve a unit and the full amount will be credited back on the first rental invoice.

Don’t Purge Just Because It’s January

The New Year pressure to “declutter everything” leads to regret more often than relief. Storage gives you breathing room.

If you’re unsure about furniture, keepsakes, or equipment, store it instead of tossing it. You can always decide later — without the stress of a deadline.

Storage isn’t about hoarding; it’s about giving yourself time.

Make Space for New Goals

New hobbies, fitness plans, home projects, or small business ideas all need space to exist.

– Clearing a garage makes room for workouts
– Storing furniture opens space for a home office
– Moving tools or inventory offsite keeps your house livable

For bigger resets, a 10×20×10 unit gives you flexibility without cramming everything into one corner.

Large (10 x 20)

Ideal for multiple bedroom sets, large appliances, boxes, business inventory, or the contents of a 3–4 bedroom home.

Start Organized, Stay Organized

January is the easiest time to build good habits.

Label boxes clearly, keep similar items together, and leave walkways inside your unit. A little structure now saves hours later when you actually need something.

With 24/7 access at Cora Lee Storage, you’re never locked into a schedule — your storage works around your life, not the other way around.

A Fresh Start Doesn’t Mean Empty Space

A New Year reset isn’t about owning less — it’s about living better with what you already have. Storage helps you keep what matters, remove what’s in the way, and move forward without pressure.

If last year ended cluttered, this one doesn’t have to.
