Ahead of moving house, there exist a plethora of things that can be relegated to storage before being replaced adequately with smaller means. Simply take a minute to peruse the following and dodge a lot of hassle on removal day.
 We might start with a common example to illustrate the point made above. Indeed, unless you house a large family under one roof, you don't actually need a full size ironing board. Especially if you have a young family, the meagre size of children's clothing requires only a small platform on which to iron any creases out, and your clothes can fit on the device too.     Sure, a smaller ironing board doesn't permit you the luxury of reaching across laid out adult clothing, but a high standard iron can nonetheless be performed on one. The problem with a full-size ironing board is that it takes up too much space in sitting wherever it sits. Unless you have a massive house, there's more important things deserved of being placed where your large ironing board lies. The example of one's full-size ironing board, and its lack of necessity, ought to inform other superfluous items elsewhere in the home. For instance, is your fridge too big? Do you use that much of the freezer at all? Sure, bigger families will fill these spaces up easily, but our discussion should advise solo-lodgers, small families and house share tenants in equal measure too.In further expanding upon items of excess or indulgence, the following identifies a series of culprits before listing their alternatives. Such culprits shouldn't be sold or disposed of however. They should instead be earmarked for storage. We will leave the ironing board off our list since it's already been discussed and you should already be making plans to have it stored in your designated storage space.  The main culprits in hogging space throughout the home:1 – The pianoDo you even use the piano at all? Be honest. If not, consider relegating it to storage. Invest in a keyboard instead since they can accurately replicate that vintage piano sound and are portable.2 – The pool/snooker tableAnother space hog, even when it's stored in the garage. Move the pool table into storage and substitute it with darts. Yes, darts. Darts are so much more contained and generally make a much more fun pastime. If you love your snooker table however, it too can be downsized – simply look around online for a while and you should find a suitable replacement, albeit a smaller one.3 – The table tennis table Like the piano, the table tennis table likely lies idle most of the time, correct? Move it to storage and get outdoors and play real tennis, it's much better exercise and you'll catch a bit of sun.4 – The vacuum cleanerYes, it's a space hog and a right pain to move around. We are fast moving into an era of portable vacuuming means at an affordable price so get up to speed and meet your cleaning needs in a simpler way. This said, by all means retain your existing vacuum cleaner through storing it elsewhere, yet begin looking online for cheap prices across otherwise capable portable vacuuming means, like a hand-held upholstery vacuum cleaner. 5 – The contents of your garageHaving already identified things that often sit in a garage, we might now further examine those bits and bobs that are often placed haphazardly in the area. Aside from the car, there are so many things that can be stored elsewhere. While some view the garage as a storage space in itself, the reality is that it's a clutter zone that only serves to restrict access, often anyway since people neglect to tidy the space.     A lot of people store car cleaning products in the garage. Instead, store these things in your regular laundry area once you've moved that full-size ironing board into storage. Repeat this approach elsewhere across your garage while even moving things like that old lawnmower into storage. Removals and storage is an economical idea of things as much as anything, so downsize your home.
