How To Maximize Your Storage Space

Get The Most Of Your Storage Space

Are you running out of room in your self-storage unit? Or perhaps you’re looking to make the most of your storage space from the start? No matter your situation, maximizing your storage space is not only efficient but can also save you time and money. With a few easy solutions, you can transform your storage unit into a well-organized space that accommodates more than you ever thought possible. Armored Self Storage is here to help you make the most of your storage space.

1. Invest in Shelving
Shelving units are a game-changer when it comes to making the most of your storage space. They provide vertical storage, allowing you to utilize the full height of your unit. You can store boxes, bins, and items you’d typically leave on the floor. Consider adjustable shelving units for added flexibility, and don’t forget to label your shelves for easy access.

2. Use Uniform Boxes and Containers
Uniformity is your friend when it comes to packing your storage unit. Invest in sturdy, stackable boxes and containers that are the same size. This not only saves space but also makes it easier to organize and find your belongings. Don’t forget to label each box with its contents for quick reference.

3. Disassemble Furniture and Appliances
Large items like furniture and appliances can take up a lot of space. To maximize storage, disassemble them whenever possible. Remove table legs, take doors off refrigerators, and break down bed frames. Wrap and protect the components to prevent damage.

4. Utilize Vertical Space
Stacking is an obvious space-saving technique, but remember to make the most of vertical space too. Place heavy or rarely used items at the bottom and lighter or frequently accessed items on top. Use ladder shelves or wall-mounted hooks to take advantage of vertical storage opportunities.

5. Vacuum Seal Your Clothes and Bedding
To save space with textiles, consider vacuum-sealing your clothes, blankets, and pillows. These bags compress your items, reducing their size significantly. This method not only maximizes your storage space but also keeps your textiles protected from dust and moisture.

6. Take Advantage of Furniture Storage
If you have items like dressers, cabinets, or wardrobes in your storage unit, use their drawers and shelves to store smaller items. It’s like getting extra storage within your storage.

7. Create Aisleways
When arranging your items in your storage unit, create aisleways to provide easy access to all your belongings. Avoid packing everything tightly against the walls; leaving some space in the center allows you to navigate and retrieve items more easily.

8. Regularly Declutter and Reorganize
Maximizing your storage space is an ongoing process. Regularly assess your stored items and remove anything you no longer need. Reorganize your unit as needed to make the most of the space.

9. Secure Your Valuables
For peace of mind, consider placing your most valuable items further back in your storage unit and use padlocks or additional security measures to protect them. Armored Self Storage offers state-of-the-art security systems to keep your items safe and sound.

10. Choose the Right Storage Unit Size
Before renting a storage unit, make sure you’ve selected the right size for your needs. An excessively large unit can be costly and wasteful, while an overly small unit won’t accommodate your belongings. Armored Self Storage’s friendly staff can assist you in choosing the right unit for your requirements.
