My wife has a rule that I can’t get a new set until I have a place to put it. In reality this turns into not building a set I already bought until I squish together more sets on a shelf somewhere so my displays look crowded and unorganized.
I did start taking my smaller Star wars ships to my office at work to put there and that cleared out a good bit of space, but not really enough for another UCS build.
I take them apart and build new creations. Some of the smaller sets I might keep together like the Speed series, but for the most part the fun for me is building and creation, not collecting.
Shelves that are already at maximum capacity. Anytime we get a new set we disassemble a Harry Potter set, but soon that won't be an option and I guess I'll need to find more shelves.

Lego fans, how do you deal with large sets and the space they take in your home? | Spyke
I know that this may be an unpopular opinion, but when I'm done, I take them apart and put them back in the box to do later, like a jigsaw puzzle.
Seems like the most realistic way to manage them to be honest
Cry a bit, get depressed that I don't have space to show off Lego, buy more Lego as therapy, repeat.
In reality, I've been putting up shelves as fast as I can, but it's not fast enough.
Some shelves are more packed than others
I have a large basement space and no one else goes down there so I have a city.
This image is severely outdated, the table is now full, but you can get the idea.
Reminds of the Lego movie!
