Storage is one of the biggest challenges when downsizing your space in San Antonio. Even though downsizing could translate to a simplified life, the process can be stressful and complicated. It requires a lot of effort and time in preparation. 
It would be best to think of what to bring and what to put away in advance. In most cases, it is impossible to keep everything you have. 
Here are a few clever storage solutions for your small space. 

1. Use Storage Beds

Take advantage of storage beds to save space in your bedroom. With such beds, you can get rid of your dressers and armoires. They are perfect for small bedrooms. 
Most storage beds have at least four drawers at the bottom. They are attached to the bed frame, so they don’t occupy extra space. You can use the drawers for toys, clothes, blankets, and other essentials. 

2. Self-Storage Units

Consider using self-storage units when you want to downsize. By placing some of your items in a self-storage facility, you can save lots of space. One of the best things about these units is that they are very secure. All your items are secured in their units. Many units have 24/7 security surveillance cameras. You always know that your unit is being monitored. 
The units are personalized to your preference. No matter how small or big your items may be, you have an option. Depending on your needs, you could get climate-controlled units. There are lots of cheap storages in San Antonio. Look around and settle for an option that offers the most value at the lowest price. 

3. Behind-the-Door-Wall Racks

If you live in a tight space, you have to consider this storage option. It helps you take advantage of space that would otherwise go to waste. Use hanging racks to avoid cluttering your drawers, pantry, and closets. 
In addition, these racks make it easier to find things when you need them. Depending on your needs, they may even have adjustable shelves to add or remove. 

4. Storage Over Your Toilets

Consider installing a few shelves above your toilet. Nothing is worse than having a small bathroom cluttered with toiletries, décor pieces, and towels. Floating shelves above your toilet can hold a lot. However, they aren’t always appropriate for rental spaces. Stand-alone shelf units could be better. Choose a unit that goes over your toilet to avoid wasting space. 

5. Baskets and Bins

Consider using baskets and bins for extra storage. They are affordable and can easily be part of your style. Go for aesthetically-pleasing options that match the rest of your decor. You can use baskets and bins in your closets, bathrooms, pantries, and entryway. 
Use them to hold books, toiletries, blankets, and other items. Label them for easy organization. 

6. Use Drawers

Drawers can help you prevent clutter in a small space. Drawer organizers will help you store the items in your drawers efficiently. You can use them for your toiletries, makeup, utensils, and office supplies. 
Consider using organizational trays for your vanities, kitchen, and living room drawers. 

7. Hooks

Hooks are affordable, efficient, and easy to install. They are fantastic storage solutions when you have limited space. Consider installing a few hooks in your laundry room, entryway, garage, or bathroom. 
Belongings that you can hang on hooks include towels, hats, leashes, brooms, and clothes. 
Are you downsizing soon? 
It might not be as easy as you imagine. Even with the most experienced professionals, you may have trouble making the most of your space. Finding appropriate storage solutions can be a challenge. 
One of the most effective tips is to hire a self-storage unit. Since they come in all sizes, there is a unit for everyone. Other tips to save on space include: using storage beds, baskets and bins, hooks, and drawers. Think of your space and settle for the best options.
