Storage during the renovation

Are you due for a renovation? Great! There are few things more exciting than sprucing up your home and making new dreams come true. But with a breath of fresh air in your own home also comes a few challenges. One of the biggest is certainly dealing with furniture and other belongings that could get in the way during the renovation. This is exactly where storage during renovation comes into play. Self-storage is the perfect solution to take the stress out of renovating and keep your furniture safe at the same time.

Storing during renovation: does that make sense?

Imagine your living room is being renovated. Where do you put your couch, dining table, bookshelves and all the other pieces of furniture during this time? If you just move them from one corner to another, it’s not only inconvenient, but there’s also a risk of them getting damaged. This is where self-storage comes into play. It offers:

  1. Space-saving: you create space for the renovation work without tripping over the furniture standing around.
  2. Protection from damage: Your furniture and objects are protected from dust, dirt and possible damage.
  3. Stress-free planning: If you know that your belongings are safely stored, you can concentrate fully on the renovation.

What you should bear in mind when storing

Before you store your belongings in a self-storage unit, there are a few things to consider to ensure that everything runs smoothly and your items are optimally protected:

  1. Rent the right storage space: Self-storage units are available in different sizes. Think about how much space you need in advance. It’s better to have a little more space than to cram everything in. Get advice from STORE ROOM customer service or use the storage space calculator.

  2. Correct packing: Pack sensitive items carefully. Use bubble wrap, moving blankets and sturdy cardboard boxes. Furniture should be covered to protect it from dust.

  3. Label the boxes: Label your boxes so that you can keep track of them later. This way you can quickly find what you need if you need to get something from the warehouse.

  4. Keep your storage room tidy: put heavy items at the bottom and lighter ones at the top. Create aisles to get to all your things without having to clear everything out every time.

Advantages of self-storage during renovation

Self-storage units offer numerous advantages that simplify the entire renovation process:

  1. Flexibility: You can rent the storage unit for exactly the time you need, be it for a few weeks or several months. This gives you flexibility when planning and carrying out your renovation.

  2. Security: STORE ROOM’s modern self-storage facilities are well secured. Access controls, video surveillance and individual access authorizations ensure that your belongings are stored safely.

  3. Temperature monitoring: STORE ROOM storage units have a constant temperature and are dry. This is particularly important if you want to store sensitive items such as electronics, works of art or antique furniture.

  4. Accessibility: STORE ROOM self-storage units are generally accessible around the clock. This means you can access your stored items whenever you need them.

Tips for storage during renovation

Use sturdy moving boxes

Use high-quality, sturdy moving boxes that are not only easy to stack, but also offer protection against dust, dirt and moisture. Cheap boxes tend to tear or collapse more quickly.

Use plastic boxes for delicate items

Airtight plastic boxes, such as KIBOXES, are ideal for sensitive or valuable items such as documents, photos or clothing. They offer optimum protection against moisture and dust and are therefore a better choice than conventional cardboard boxes. At STORE ROOM, you even have the option of having individual items stored securely in KIBOXES. This way, you can ensure that your valuable belongings are well protected during the renovation.

Clean furniture in advance

Clean your furniture and other items thoroughly before you put them into storage. Dirt and residues can cause damage or develop unpleasant odors during storage.

Dismantling bulky objects

Dismantle not only large pieces of furniture, but also bulky items such as bicycles, trampolines or fitness equipment. This allows you to make optimum use of the space in the storage room.

Protect textiles from dirt

Clothing, bed linen and other textiles should be stored in vacuum bags. These save space and protect the textiles from dust, dirt and moths.

Using shelves for organization

If the storage space allows, put up shelves. This will allow you to organize boxes and smaller items better and make the best use of the space.

Protect fragile objects

Wrap fragile items such as glass, porcelain or ceramics in bubble wrap and place them in sturdy boxes with sufficient cushioning material. Mark these boxes as “fragile” so that they are handled with care.

Document storage

Create an inventory list or take photos of the contents of the boxes before you put them into storage. This will help you to keep an overview and make it easier to find items when you need them.

Use lashing straps and ropes

If you are loading items into a van or trailer to take them to self-storage, secure them with lashing straps or ropes. This will prevent them from tipping over or being damaged during transportation.

Labeling cables and accessories

With electronic devices, it is helpful to label cables and accessories and tie them together. This avoids confusion when it comes to reconnecting everything later.

By following these additional tips for storage during renovation, you can ensure that your belongings remain safe, clean and well-organized. Careful planning and proper storage will make the entire renovation process easier and minimize the risk of damage or loss. This allows you to focus on making your home beautiful, knowing that your belongings are safe and secure.
