With the current home size, it can be tight when we store all the various personal and family items under one roof. If they do not fit, it might not be wise to purchase a bigger home, too, as it can be very costly with the relocation, renovation and moving costs involved. As such, the idea of renting a self-storage unit might be one option that homeowners can consider. Here are three benefits homeowners can enjoy when they utilise a self-storage unit.
More living space at home
With a storage unit, homeowners can plan to store items they do not require daily. This includes seasonal clothing, luggage, decoration pieces, family items, and even furniture pieces. All of these items take up a lot of space in a home, especially if you live with many family members in the same area. By storing these items in a self-storage unit, you will be able to create more living space at home to walk around and create a less stressful and clutter-free environment.
Temporary storage
If you are planning to rent a space to store your items for a short period, storage providers like Extra Space Asia Self Storage offer storage units for as short as 14 days. This is good for homeowners planning to do a small home renovation or improvement project to spruce up their home. By renting a self-storage unit, they can move their items to the storage unit first to create more space around the home to move around quickly. By renting a self-storage unit, they can also ensure their items are dust-free. This will reduce the time and effort required to clean everything once the renovation is done.
Extra space for personal collection
A self-storage unit will also be a more cost-effective space solution if homeowners plan to downsize their homes for various reasons. One might throw and donate as many things as possible to fit everything into one’s new home. But if they have a personal collection that is precious to them, throwing is not an option if the collection includes pieces worth a lot and limited-edition collectables. By keeping them in a self-storage unit, these homeowners will enjoy a space of their own in a safe and secure storage environment where they can access these collections any time, any day, round the clock. This can also be a short-term and long-term storage solution for these personal collectors.
If you are a homeowner who is new to the idea of self-storage, don’t fret. It is also good to do some research, but if you need extra space to store the items you cannot throw or store in another family/friend’s place, self-storage might be one option you can explore. You can always visit a self-storage facility to look at the space after making a list of items you plan to store, as storage rental is always based on the storage duration and the amount of storage space you rent.
