The pumpkins have gone soft, the fake cobwebs are clinging to everything, and suddenly the shops are filled with tinsel. It’s that strange in-between season - not quite spooky, not yet sparkly - and for many of us, it’s also the time our homes feel the most cluttered.

At M-Store Self Storage Cornwall, we know this transition period can be tricky. Between packing away Halloween decorations, making space for Christmas gifts, and maybe even welcoming guests over the pre-festive season, it’s easy for your home (and garage!) to become a bit chaotic.

So, what can you do with all that stuff during this awkward gap between October and December? Here are a few ideas:

1. Pack away Halloween properly

Instead of shoving your costumes and decorations into the nearest cupboard, take a few minutes to pack them neatly. Use clear plastic boxes so you can see what’s inside next year, and label everything. Don’t have space to keep boxes of fake spiders and skeletons at home? A small self-storage unit at M-Store is perfect for keeping your seasonal décor safe, dry, and ready for next year.

2. Make room for Christmas decorations

If you’re the kind of person who goes all out with fairy lights and festive garlands, you’ll want space to work with. Before you start decking the halls, put away anything non-festive that clutters your living areas - think summer garden gear, camping equipment, and even patio furniture. A short-term storage unit is an easy way to free up valuable space at home without having to part with the things you love.

3. Store summer and autumn gear

That in-between season is also the perfect time to swap wardrobes. Pack away summer clothes, camping gear, and garden furniture, and bring out the coats, scarves, and boots. If your loft or shed is already bursting, M-Store’s clean, secure units are ideal for seasonal storage. You can come and go as you please, so swapping items throughout the year is simple.

4. Hide (or store) Christmas presents

If you’ve already started Christmas shopping, well done - but where are you hiding it all? Under the bed only works until curious kids (or partners) start poking around.

Why not use a small self-storage space as your secret Santa stash? It’s secure, private, and keeps your gifts out of sight until wrapping day!

5. Declutter before the rush

The run-up to Christmas is the perfect time to declutter. Whether you’re clearing space for guests or just want your home to feel fresh before the new year, a storage unit can act as a temporary holding zone while you decide what stays, sells, or donates.

6. Keep your home calm and clutter-free

Between the pumpkins and the baubles, life can feel hectic — but your home doesn’t have to. M-Store Self Storage Cornwall offers flexible, affordable storage solutions to help you get through that awkward in-between season with ease.

So go ahead — tidy up, make space, and enjoy the transition from spooky season to festive sparkle.
