Storage boxes for cold roofs

I think that Steffi33 could hold a flea market in the post-corona times. The amount of stuff in the photos shocked me, but it looks very tidy in her attic.

What does post-Corona mean? Since the lockdown, I've been getting rid of quite a few things on e**y because no furniture or electronics stores are open :p The shoes all look quite nice too - taken together, you can read your entire lifestyle from them :)

We have a huge cold attic and store practically everything there.. laundry, fabrics, paper, office stuff, shoes, winter clothes, summer clothes, winter sports equipment, Christmas decorations, toys, mattresses, tools... Exceptions are: liquids, food, plants.

Food should actually keep well in winter :) You just shouldn't forget about them.

Nothing rusts up there and nothing feels "damp".. currently at most "cold".

Cold air also takes up less moisture, so it is much drier than at room temperature.

What I love most is that I can dry my laundry up there.

I often hear that laundry "smells musty" if it dries too slowly :(

Especially food should keep well in winter

Basically yes.. the problem is the sub-zero temperatures.. we have those in the attic too. It is a maximum of 1-2 degrees warmer there than outside.

I often hear that the laundry "smells musty" when it dries too slowly

Oh no... not at all... I don't use fabric softener or fragrances.. and still the laundry smells fresh. On our roof the air passes through the gaps and so it dries "like outside". However, it hangs there for several days..

More often we have laundry that smells like old Puma after wearing.. Here I have to do two!! pre-washes, otherwise I can't get the smell out.. I therefore think it’s due to the washing process if the laundry still smells musty after drying.

Honestly, I think that with what a sufficient number of climateproof boxes costs, you can also clean your entire attic at once.

Why? The reason why most people declutter is because they either have no space or no overview of their stuff anymore. I am an absolute advocate of Marie Kondo, but Steffi's attic is visually perfectly organized and there is plenty of space. I would really only declutter, following Marie’s approach, what no longer brings joy.
