What’s Haunting Your Home?

You don’t need a crystal ball to know that houses collect more than just family memories. Look around long enough, and you’ll spot the little hauntings: the boxes you never unpacked, the things you swore you’d fix, and the “just in case” clutter that seems to multiply while you sleep.

It’s not ghosts you need to worry about. It’s the monsters under the bed, the skeletons in the closet, and the ghosts of hobbies past.

The good news? You don’t need holy water to banish them. All you need is a bit of clever storage and maybe a helping hand from Rent-A-Store.

The Monsters Under the Bed

We all know them. The dusty boxes pushed under the bed “just for now.” The pile of spare bedding you never reach for. That single rollerblade whose partner vanished years ago. These under-the-bed monsters love the shadows, and they thrive on our habit of hiding things instead of sorting them.

The result? Your bedroom feels heavy and cramped, and finding anything down there means braving a dust storm and possibly sacrificing a sock.

The solution: Evict the under-bed freeloaders and give yourself back some breathing room. By moving the clutter into self-storage, your room instantly feels lighter, calmer, and far more inviting.

The Skeletons in the Closet

Closets are meant to hold the things we actually use. But more often than not, they become crypts for everything we don’t. Forgotten kitchen gadgets, mismatched mugs, ancient sports gear, or that stack of craft supplies you bought for a project that never happened, they all become skeletons rattling around your cupboards.

Every time you open the door, you’re greeted by clutter instead of convenience. And somehow, no matter how often you shuffle things around, the skeletons always win.

The solution: Give your closets a clean slate by moving the long-forgotten and seasonal items into storage. Rent-A-Store units are like walk-in wardrobes for the things you’re not using right now: secure, organised, and out of your way. You’ll actually be able to find your favourite pan again without risking an avalanche of Tupperware.

The Ghosts of Hobbies Past

Few things haunt a home quite like abandoned hobbies. The treadmill that doubles as a clothes hanger. The sewing machine you were convinced you’d master during lockdown. The guitar you swore you’d learn once your schedule “calmed down.” These ghosts aren’t bad; they’re just reminders of your most optimistic moments.

The problem is, they take up valuable space while waiting for inspiration to strike again. And maybe it will… or maybe it won’t. Nobody knows.

The solution: Store them safely with Rent-A-Store until you’re ready to resurrect your hobbies, or until you decide to pass them along. Either way, your home is free from guilt-tripping reminders every time you walk into the garage.

The Poltergeist Piles

Every home has at least one: the pile that moves around the house without explanation. Today it’s on the dining table, tomorrow it’s on the couch, and by the weekend it’s migrated to the study. Bills, magazines, bags, or just general “stuff” that never really finds a permanent place.

These poltergeist piles aren’t evil, but they have a way of sucking the calm out of a room.

The solution: Decide what you really need close at hand and let us look after the rest. A tidy home feels calmer, lighter, and a lot less haunted.

Banishing the Spooks (Without Losing the Sentimental Stuff)

Decluttering isn’t about exorcising your home of everything you love - it’s about giving your living space room to breathe. That box of baby clothes you can’t part with? Store it safely until you’re ready to hand it down. Those holiday decorations that only come out once a year? They’ll be waiting for you, dust-free, when the season rolls around again.

Rent-A-Store gives you a way to keep the things that matter without letting them overwhelm your home.

Your House, Reclaimed

When the monsters under the bed, skeletons in the closet, and ghosts of hobbies past are finally out of the way, your home feels different. Lighter. Less chaotic. More yours.
