What kind of clutterer are you?

We all like to think we’re fairly organised. Or at least organised enough.

But clutter has a funny way of creeping in, settling down and refusing to leave.

The truth is, most of us fall into a very specific clutter personality. Actually, probably more than one. Have a read and see which sounds a little too familiar.

The not so organised chaos master

To everyone else, it looks like pure disorder. To you, it’s a carefully balanced system.

You know where things are. Mostly. The piles, the stacks, the mystery drawers all have meaning. Until the day you need one specific thing and suddenly the chaos turns on you.

Messy? No. Creatively organised.

The minimalist in denial

You love the idea of owning less. Clean spaces. Calm vibes. You are absolutely a minimalist.

You just haven’t decluttered since 2019.

Those boxes are temporary. They’ve always been temporary. You’ll get to them eventually. Probably.

The sentimental saver

Every item has a story and every story deserves to stay.

Old school projects, cards, keepsakes and things that still mean something are carefully held onto. You’re not cluttered, you’re nostalgic.

The only problem is when memories start taking over wardrobes, cupboards and spare rooms.

The ‘but what if I need it’ collector

You never know when it might come in handy.

That spare kettle lid. The random cable. The thing you don’t remember buying. Better safe than sorry, right?

Just in case slowly turns into just everywhere.

The hobby hoarder

You love trying new things.

Yoga. Cycling. Baking. Painting. Candle making. The hobbies might not have stuck, but the equipment definitely did. Your home is now a collection of interests past, waiting patiently for their comeback.

The bulk buyer

You love a bargain. You hate running out.

So you stock up. And stock up again. Suddenly your cupboards are full of spares, backups and backups for the backups. Practical? Yes. Spacious? Not so much.The tidy surface, messy secret keeper

On the outside, everything looks calm and put together.

Inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes is a completely different story. Out of sight, out of mind is the rule here and it works perfectly until you actually need to find something.

So what do you do about it?

Here’s the good news. Being any of these clutterers doesn’t mean you need to throw everything away or suddenly become perfectly organised.

Sometimes you just need more space.

blue self storage gives you a simple, flexible place to store the things you want to keep without letting them take over your home. No judgement. No pressure. Just room to breathe.

Because clutter happens. And whatever kind of clutterer you are, we’ve got space for that.
