Downsizing can feel overwhelming, but breaking it into three categories—keep, store, and let go—makes it manageable. Start with items you use daily or have deep sentimental value. Keep what fits your new space and brings joy.

For items you do not need immediately, compare storage options and check the care requirements of heirlooms, decorations and hobby gear. Confirm suitability with the location.

Let go of duplicates, unused items, and things that no longer serve you. Sell, donate, or recycle them. Local charities like Goodwill or Community Human Services accept donations. Host a garage sale or list items on Facebook Marketplace.

Use the Storage Space Calculator to add catalog items or custom dimensions and quantities. Its recommendation is a planning estimate, not a guarantee of fit, suitability, price or availability. Confirm the selected unit and your packing plan with the location.
