Storing household goods: a stress-free way to do it
Life is full of changes. A new job in another city, a trip around the world, a semester abroad or perhaps simply the desire to renovate or downsize your home – there are many reasons why you might want to put your household goods into storage. But what’s the best way to go about it? In this blog article, you’ll find out everything you need to know about storage, including practical tips on how to make the process stress-free. We’ll introduce you to the benefits of STORE ROOM Smart Self-Storage, which will make storing your belongings as easy as possible.
Storing household goods: these are the reasons
There are many situations in life where you are faced with the challenge of having to temporarily store your entire household contents. Here are a few examples:
- Moving abroad: Whether for a new job or to study – if you’re going abroad for a longer period of time, it often doesn’t make sense to take all your furniture and possessions with you.
- Renovation: During a major renovation, it may be necessary to move furniture and other items out of the way to make room for the work.
- Downsizing: If you’re moving into a smaller apartment but don’t want to throw away certain pieces of furniture or personal items, storage is a perfect solution.
- Inheritance: Sometimes you inherit furniture or other valuable items that you can’t or don’t want to use right away. Storage is also an option here.
What should you look out for when storing your household goods?
Before you store your belongings, there are a few things you should consider to make sure everything is well organized and protected.
- Create an inventory: Make a list of all the items you want to store. This will help you to keep an overview and make it easier to find certain items later.
- Pack items correctly: Fragile items should be well padded and packed in sturdy cardboard boxes. Furniture can be covered with protective film to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Choose a storage space: Choose a storage unit that’s big enough to hold all your stuff, but not so big that you’re wasting space (and therefore money) unnecessarily.
- Temperature and humidity: Make sure that the storage room is well ventilated and that temperatures remain constant to prevent mold growth and damage to sensitive items.
