Categorizing Your Storage
However, once you have begun renting a there are some tricks in the way you organize that will help keep things you need most accessible. When most people move their stuff into a they begin stacking it from back-to-front until it is full. Taking a little time to organize will save you a lot of time in the future when you need to find something.
Here are some things to consider when moving:
- Label Your Boxes, Bins, and Containers
If you mark what type of items or specify the room contents on the outside of the box it will save you from digging through all your boxes when you need to find something. For example, simply marking “kitchenware” or “photography equipment” on the outside of your boxes will help you know directly where to go when you need to find a specific item.
- Place Frequently Used Items at the Front
Take a moment to assess which things you use most and will potentially need to access in the near future. Keep those items at the front by the door and you won’t have to crawl over all your stuff to find the things you need.
- Sketch a Diagram
Of all the suggestions, this one is probably the most ingenious. As you fill your storage, draw a sketch of where boxes and items are stored to reference when you need them in the future.
- Use Vertical Space
Using shelves in Storage is a great way to maximize the efficiency of the space you have while keeping your stuff organized and easy to access. Make sure you determine what size of storage you will need by using a “storage size estimator” and then fully utilize the space you have by neatly stacking it with shelf.
Being organized is one of the most efficient ways to save time and energy, but also to avoid the headaches that come with using self-storage. If you have any questions about what type of storage you might need, call or email us by clicking on the link! (CONTACT US).
