Transitioning from Summer to Fall: Smart Storage Tips for the Season

—
August 20th, 2025

As summer comes to a close and the cooler days of fall begin, now is the perfect time to prepare your home and storage spaces for the change in seasons. Whether you’re putting away summer gear or making room for holiday décor and winter essentials, a little organization goes a long way.

At Express Storage, we know how valuable your space is. Here are a few simple ways to make the seasonal transition easier:

Store Summer Gear Safely

Camping supplies, paddleboards, and other summer equipment can quickly take over your garage or closets. Moving these items into a climate-controlled unit protects them from moisture and temperature changes, so they’ll be ready when warm weather returns.

Rotate Your Wardrobe

As bulky sweaters, coats, and boots make their way back into your closet, consider storing lightweight summer clothes in labeled bins or vacuum-sealed bags. This clears up space and helps keep your clothing fresh and organized.

Protect Outdoor Furniture and Tools

Patio sets, grills, and gardening equipment don’t hold up well in cold, wet weather. Storing them indoors will extend their lifespan and keep them looking their best for next year.

Make Room for Holiday Décor

The fall and winter months are full of celebrations, which often means bins of decorations. Keeping these items in a storage unit makes it easier to stay organized and ensures you can access them when it’s time to decorate.

Plan Ahead for Spring

Taking the time to organize now will save you time and stress later. By setting up your storage in a way that’s easy to swap out, you’ll be ready when spring rolls around.
