Basement Organizing

  • Assign a corner or special area for each group of items.

  • Use wooden or metal shelving units to hold boxes and baskets.

  • Gather up all the loose items and put them in containers.

  • Label everything. Label all boxes on the sides as well as the tops. Use either words or pictures.

  • Use different coloured  containers for different types of storage.

  • For example, all the Christmas decorations in green plastic containers, Halloween decorations in black.

  • Clear containers are usually the best, because it makes it easy to identify the contents, but sometimes coloured ones are better bargains.

  • Consider giving away or selling a lot of the things you never use. The less you have, the less you have to take care of.

  • Try to get everything possible off the floor and onto shelves so that they don't get damaged by moisture.
