Throwing things away, or donating to the charity shop. is good for the soul!

There are some ideas here: De-Cluttering

Just moved to a new place that's an older style apartment. There are cabinets everywhere! I don't know what to do with them.

I would like another room just to put in bookcases. Alot of books here.

I'm not sure I would say there is such a thing as too much storage but I think there are times when storage can be an inefficient use of certain spaces. Storage needs to be useful and readily available. If you need step ladders or cranes to get to stored items, the storage becomes useless to me. Life should be made easier, not harder, by storage solutions.

There's a genuine requirement for decent storage, whether it involves winter/summer clothing, bicycles or a crockpot that gets used once a month but still gets used. That said, most of us do have too much stuff we never use. Moving to a smaller house (or camping for a few weeks) is a good lesson in what we really need to live comfortably.

Give me more. I have just fitted out two walk in robes using the Elfa system (great stuff) but I need more storage, pity building is now so expensive a "box room" or good Attic would be heaven,The old front entrance is going to be blocked up to make a good size linen cupboard, the kitchen if we ever get there is designed for pull out pantries and I have my fingers crossed for total surround book shelving in the room optimistically called "the library" not sure husband will play again............................perchance to dream (or I need to throw "stuff" out ;( )

Hubby is not playful anymore?

not with the power tools...........

Is he Freddy?

Nah, but he's always been quite Handy

Instinctively I voted no, never! But what's that saying, stuff expands to fill space available? I suppose it's a balancing act to have plenty of storage to enable you to be comfortable and organised without encouraging you to acquire more stuff thus needing more storage....

never enough storage..need storage so stuff don't fly everywhere ..ie there's a place for everything ..anything extra needs to recycle..

I have worked with clients who have too much storage space. What do I mean by that? Well, just because you have lots of cupboards and drawers and shelves it does not mean that you have to fill them. Keeping what you truly USE, NEED and LOVE is all that you should keep.

That room above looks like living in a storage container. Not my thing. I've found with some there is definitely such a thing as too much storage. If they have it they feel like it has to be filled.

I believe there is such a thing as too much storage. Keeping your pocessions under control is important, but editing is as well. Donating goods to charity shops which you don't use, or don't love, helps everyone. Living Life Simply.

I rather have more living space that cupboards and wardrobes closing in the room.
