How to Make Extra Space When Your Kids are Home for Christmas

The holiday season is a time for joy, family gatherings, and making memories. For many of us, it’s also a time when our homes are filled with the laughter and warmth of our children returning home for Christmas. The problem is, sometimes our homes can be filled with a lot more than that. As the family grows and your living space may have shrunk since the kids moved out, accommodating everyone can be a bit of a puzzle. 

 

Even if you still live in your family home, chances are that your kids are bigger, have more stuff, and may even be bringing along even more family and friends. But the space problems will be even more acute if you’ve downsized your home since your children moved out. When your home doesn’t have quite enough room for everyone, a rental storage unit can be your lifesaver. 

 

This is where we step in: Epic Storage is here to help you create that extra space you need to make your children’s holiday visit more comfortable and enjoyable. Here are some suggestions for making holiday visits more comfortable for you and your visiting houseguests:

 

  • Store What You Won’t Be Using: One of the simplest and most effective ways to make extra room in your home during the holiday season is to store the things you won’t be using. This includes any seasonal items and belongings that take up unnecessary space. Consider temporarily parting with these items and opt for a rental storage unit to clear up space for your children’s visit.
  • Clear Out Extra Furniture: Many of us have a little extra furniture. As your children come home for Christmas, it’s the perfect time to stow away that extra coffee table, old bookshelf, or rarely-used desk that sits in the corner. By doing so, you can make room for inflatable or rollaway beds, ensuring your children have comfortable places to sleep.
  • Free up Floor Space: When you open up a space, you create a more welcoming environment. Clutter and crowding are stressful, even if you don’t realize it. Enable your family to gather and celebrate the season without feeling cramped.
  • Remove Seasonal and Recreational Items: It’s Christmas time. Let go of summer clothes and recreational items that occupy valuable closets, shelves, and garage space. Your children will need a place to put their bulky winter clothing, and their luggage will also take up room. Make room for your family’s winter coats and holiday attire, and use your unit to store suitcases temporarily.
  • Keep Winter Recreation Within Easy Reach: Even some winter items can be stored. If you have skis, sleds, and snowboards, they don’t need to be right in your home if a storage unit is within a short and easy drive. Store your winter items neatly and ready to go in a storage unit where you can quickly access them and pick them up on your way to the slopes.
