Old boxes, deflated bike tires, tangled fairy lights, suitcases from trips gone by…
Sound familiar? Whether it’s your basement or attic, these spaces often become dump zones — for stuff we “might need someday.”
But here’s the thing: with the right mindset (and setup), your basement or attic could be so much more than dusty storage.

In this guide, we’ll explore how to use these spaces properly — and what to do if you’re running out of room or out of patience.
The default: storage, but without a system
Für die meisten ist klar: „Das kommt in den Keller.“ Aber was dann passiert, ist oft weniger geplant. Kisten lanLet’s be honest — most people treat their basement like a “catch-all.” That’s how it starts. But soon boxes are piled up, you forget what’s where, and the air starts to feel… damp.
Common issues:
- No system = no idea where anything is
- Basements often suffer from humidity and mould
- Attics experience extreme temperatures (especially in summer)
- Valuable items get lost or damaged over time
- Shared or unsecured spaces = security concerns
💡 What if your basement or attic could become a space that actually works for you?
How to use your basement or attic more effectively
Before you just “put it away,” ask yourself:
- Do I use this regularly – or just seasonally?
- Is it sensitive to humidity or heat?
- Is the space clean, secure and ventilated?
Good items to store at home:
- Holiday decorations
- Tools, suitcases, sports gear
- Pantry or dry goods (cool basement only!)
- Baby items for future use
Not ideal for home storage:
- Electronics, photo albums, books
- Valuable furniture or instruments
- Clothing that needs protection
- Anything sensitive to moisture or heat
When your space (or conditions) just aren’t enough
If your attic is too hot, your basement too damp, or both are already overflowing, it’s time to consider external storage.
But not the kind where you rent a unit and figure out everything yourself.
