Are you struggling to keep your belongings organized and need extra space? A storage unit can help – but it's important to find ways to maximize the space that you have. Whether it be something as simple as using containers or something more complex like creating a mini-warehouse system, there are plenty of methods you can use to better organize your storage unit. Here are some tips from Pardee Moving & Storage on how best to utilize the space in your storage unit:
One of the most common and effective methods for maximizing your storage unit space is by organizing it with containers, such as plastic bins or boxes. These are great for organizing your items into specific categories and preventing them from getting lost among each other. It also allows for easy access when looking for something specific; instead of having to rummage through all of your items, you’ll know exactly where everything is at all times.
For those who are storing larger items in their unit, it’s a good idea to invest in wall shelving or racks. This way, you can effectively use vertical space and take full advantage of the height of the unit. Wall shelves and racks are ideal for larger items such as furniture pieces, tools, sporting equipment, etc., and they provide a secure point of contact so that heavier items don’t get knocked over.
If you find yourself running out of room but still have smaller items left over, try utilizing the available space underneath larger furniture or appliances by placing smaller items below them. This will allow you to save much-needed floor space while still finding a place for any remaining belongings that won’t fit elsewhere.
This method is ideal for those with several small boxes or other containers that typically take up valuable real estate inside one's storage unit. By building a custom warehouse system that consists of wood planks elevated off the ground and multi-directional boards (aka “packing cubes”), one can create an efficient filing system within their unit that maximizes their existing age while still allowing them easy access when needed.
