Most Commons Items Put in Storage

Space, we can never seem to get enough of it. We are constantly looking for different ways to consolidate or throw out items we no longer need. Can you take a guess what some of the most popular items are that people put in their self-storage? Here are seven common items in self-storage.

Holiday Decorations

Since holidays only come up once in a while, putting them in a self-storage unit out of the way is a good idea. It is the best way to keep them out of the way and save yourself from using up space in your basement, attic, or garage. All of those Halloween items, Easter eggs and baskets, special Hannukah dishes and decorations can all afford to sit in your storage unit until they are needed.

Clothing

When clothing begins to take over your closet, you may need to re-evaluate which items you really need. Maybe you have maternity clothes you’ll use again, or you’re experiencing weight loss or gain. Putting these clothes into a self-storage unit will allow you to have your wardrobe organized and waiting for whenever you are ready for them.

Antiques

Collecting beautiful décor can be a wonderful thing, but sometimes there is not always room to display it all. A lot of these antiques may hold sentimental value so instead of putting them in your next garage sale, place them in a climate-controlled storage unit where they will be safe and sound.

Paper Work

As much as we try to be paperless, we end up with hard-copy personal documents that cannot be disposed of. Documents like your tax returns, bank statements, business expenses, medical bills, or receipts you will need for the future. Instead of keeping them all in your home, storing them in your self-storage unit can serve as another safe space to hold them.

Old Furniture

The furniture we need and use often depends on our lifestyle during that time. For the students returning home from college with extra furniture, or the family planning to downsize their home, you do not have to feel stuck with the option of getting rid of it. Instead, you can put them in your self-storage where they are safe and available.

These just happen to be the most common items you will find a self-storage unit useful for. There are plenty of other items you can think of, and StorageBlue may be the perfect place for you!
