Make the Most of Your Storage Space
Here are some practical self-storage tips to make the most of your space and keep your items safe. These steps can help keep your storage unit organized, efficient, and safe for all of your belongings.
Use sturdy, uniform boxes
This makes stacking easier and maximizes your storage space. Label each box with its contents for easy access later.
Store items vertically
Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter ones on top, and consider using shelves if allowed to help organize and prevent damage.
Pack seasonal items together
Keep things like holiday decorations or seasonal clothing in one area so you can find them without searching through other items.
Create a storage map
Draw a quick layout of where things are stored within the unit, especially if you plan on storing items long-term.
Cover furniture and mattresses
Use cloth sheets or mattress covers to keep dust away, but avoid plastic wrapping, which can trap moisture and cause mildew.
Disassemble large items
Break down furniture like tables and bed frames to save space, and store screws and parts in labeled bags attached to the item.
Store important items toward the front
If you know you’ll need access to certain things, keep them close to the entrance for easy access.
Use pallets or boards on the floor
This keeps items off the ground to prevent moisture damage and improve air circulation.
