Do you find yourself constantly struggling for storage space?

Yes - it all depends upon your desires. Many people have different desires and they keep on going purchasing as per that so for these the space gets consumed and feel short of that. But there are some who plan and then purchase - so for these there is ample space. My experience says that planning and purchasing is best.

This used to be a problem but we decided to de-clutter and only have things that we actually use. Everyone seems to have exercise equipment and sports stuff, cooking and household gadgets, they don't use and loads of other things that they bought on a whim and are keeping until they get around to using it - which of course, they don't. Make a rule that you can only bring a non-edible thing into the house if something else leaves!

In my life I have constantly struggled to find enough storage spaces. I bought a Grade II listed old cottage. I wasn't allowed to have a shed in my garden. Even a washing line wasn't permitted. I had a bike and had to keep it in my hall way. I often tripped over it. I have an airing cupboard which didn't have much storage space in it. When I moved to the house I currently live in I was happy with the amount of storage space but not for long. I have a shed in my garden, an under stairs cupboard and a large loft space. I got a handy man to fit in a loft ladder. Now I can open the hatch with a long pole, pull down the ladder and get access to all I have up the loft. There is no more storage space. I often do clutter clearing but have a limited amount of success. I wish I had more storage space.

I'm always struggling to find space to store my things. I used to have a 5 bedroom house and now I'm in a 3 bedroom townhome so of course storage space is a premium here for me and my family. I have tried to get rid of alot of my extra junk that I just don't need but it is very hard to part with some items. I have a storage unit that we rent every month but it is getting very expensive to maintain it. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

yes your right, theres too many new things to buy and theres only few space for it, we cant just throw those old one we have if we can still use it as we might not use it today but someday we will so we decided to just keep them but sometimes we really have no choice but to give them up just to fill everything inside.

We have a huge attic and all the unwanted stuff goes in there.However i find it really difficult to make some room for my new clothes which make their way into my war drobe every month .I buy them like crazy and my room is more of a room lol filled with clothes and books all over.great day.

Hi, megamatt. I used to have this problem before. But now that I have thrown away a lot of my clothing, I no longer have this problem. One time, I had so much of stuff until I had to store it in just about one room in my home. It was so terrible. I had so much of baby clothing for my daughters until I did not know where to put them. It was so messy and crowded.

i used to be organized when i was younger. but when i grew busy with people and work, i just stack things anywhere i can. in the end, i find myself suffocated by the lack of space. but when i clear and organize my stuff, voila!, i have so much space. all it takes is to have things segregated. shelves actually help in maximizing a room space.

When we moved into our new place one thing I was really excited about was all the storage there would be in a house literally twice the size as the old one. Plus we now have a big shop in the back and a little attached garage as well. I was amazed to find that after we moved we somehow managed to fill almost every room, closet and both garages! Now that I've had time to organize things and get individual rooms arranged things are a little less congested and I love how uncluttered everything is compared to our old house. We are definitely fortunate to have LOTS of storage space!

In the basement it is always too crowded with lots of furnitures and things for the garden and the stuffs we hardly use so what I am going to do now is to throw everything which might not help me in any way and find more space in the basement for useful things in the house.

I live in a very small house. Storage space is always an issue. it seems no matter what U can dream up for make more space ends up being futile. It is never enough. It'ss times like these that I wish I lived in a huge mansion. Closets would probably be bigger than my whole house. I go through spirts of throwing things out just to make more space for other things. I am not happy doing this. Now i just try my best to find homes for everything I want to keep. It is a constant struggle. If it was easy, something would definitely be wrong.

I have an old garage and a store room but still things get crowded. I find myself storing items for other members of the family, like old bicycles, washing machines and so on! A regular clear out is the only solution.

Actually, it's quite the opposite for me. XD My room (and my house, for the most part) has many empty spaces. I want to put something there, but I don't know what.

I am at the same shoes as you are in right now, my friend. But I also find out that it's not the space that I'm having problems with, it's the time and effort that I should put up with that is troubling me. As you know, a lot of us are working and gets home only to sleep and wake up early again to get back on work. I don't have enough time to fix stuffs and things that I should be tidying up, because there's lot of storage place here at my home. We have a locker room, in which I know everything can be placed inside. Maybe just a help with some friends or family members would do the trick, am just too tired to work up on it alone.. hehe!:)

We currently have storage problems because our home is just a small unit. It's just like an apartment that''s very small, kinda like a room. Since me and my wife are just starting out, we figured we'd take a small space that's very cheap so we can save on buying a house of our own.

I never have enough storage. Store, attic, plastic containers, boxes - it's never enough. My mom loves to keep stuff so they'll pile up in the store. The attic are mainly for clothes and magazines. Those stuff still in good condition but we hardly use them. It's a good thing we hardly buy anything new or I'll have a headache to find a place to keep the new stuff.
