Use this free printable attic storage inventory form to keep track of what you've got stored in this area of your home, for both short and long-term storage.
Attics are a great place to store items in your home, but let's face it, they're hard to access so they aren't designed for short-term storage.
Instead, they're designed to store items in your home that you don't plan to access too often during the year, such as holiday decorations or other seldom used items.
The fact that we're all human means we'll often forget exactly what is stored up in the attic over time. That's where an attic storage inventory comes in handy.
Once you fill out this form you don't have to try to remember what's up there anymore, because you can just read the list and know.
To use this form well, I suggest you fill it out as part of the Attic Organizing Challenge here on the site, which is part of the 52 Weeks To An Organized Home Challenge.
As part of the challenge you'll first declutter your attic, and then organize what's left. As part of that organization process you'll carefully label boxes and other storage containers that you'll continue to store in the space.
Of course, these labels are pretty small, and can only have so much information on them. Therefore, make sure to put a number on the label, and then you can add additional information to the form sharing, in more detail, what is stored in the container.
Further, the form prompts you to fill out the approximate location of the various boxes or other containers you'll store in your attic. This can help you not have to search everywhere for it, but instead just in one more concentrated area.
Once you've filled out the form you need to keep it in a safe place where you can access it, when needed.
You may want to keep one copy posted on a clipboard within the attic itself, and another copy with your other home inventory forms, or in your home management binder.

Once you declutter one type of item in your home I bet you'll want to declutter some more. After all, decluttering gives you a great reward for even a small investment of time and energy.
The Declutter 365 system is designed to help you declutter, over the course of a year, your entire house, with just 15 minutes of decluttering each day!
Hundreds of thousands of people use this proven system to get rid of their clutter, and bring peace and calm back to their homes.
Declutter 365 works to guide you to clear the clutter without overwhelm, focusing on just one small area at a time, and without making a huge mess in the process, so you see consistent forward progress without all that "messy middle" that makes it even harder to function in your home than before you started.
In addition to building a daily decluttering habit, the Declutter 365 program, along with the accompanying 52 Week Organized Home Challenge, teaches you the skills, habits, routines, and mindsets necessary to maintain the clutter free and organized state of your home from now on, so it'll never be as messy and cluttered as it is right now, ever again.
If you haven't already, make sure to get your copy of this year's Declutter 365 annual calendar here (it's FREE!), find today's date, and do 15 minutes of decluttering on the day's mission. Then, repeat again tomorrow, and again and again. Over the course of the next year, if you do this 15 minutes per day, you'll declutter your whole house!
Right now you're decluttering storage areas within your home, and there's a lot of stuff to declutter in these spaces.
I've done the hard work of breaking down these tasks into smaller more manageable steps for you, so you don't get overwhelmed or worry you're forgetting a task, and you can go at the pace you want, whether that's fast or slow.
In addition, you can tackle these decluttering tasks in whatever order you want when you use these checklists!
