CHRISTMAS DECORATIO N AND SEASONAL STORAGE

As Christmas comes and goes, one of the biggest hassles can be storing Christmas Decorations and Seasonal goods! Using external storage solutions may be a way to help you optimise your space from year to year, only having your decorations around through the festive period. We have put this blog together to help you understand the benefits of using Christmas decoration and seasonal storage out with your property.

Christmas Decoration and Seasonal Storage for Businesses

If you are a business with a physical location, it is likely you will have a large tree. Along with this, there will be baubles and other ornaments to hang on the tree. Additionally, you might have other decorations around your office, store, restaurant, or other commercial property. These can take up a lot of space when it comes to storing them year-on-year!

As property prices in London and the South-East continue to rise, space becomes increasingly valuable. Using off-site self-storage solutions has become a popular way of optimising business space and storing Christmas decorations efficiently.

One of the most important factors to consider when looking into off-site self-storage solutions for Christmas decorations is flexible and cost-effective contracts. This helps keep margins as low as possible with the option to adapt as your business needs change. At Flexible Storage we give short-term rolling contracts which help keep costs to a minimum. You can also rent storage units when required, which is cost-effective for seasonal decoration storage. Our storage facilities also offer high levels of security, which gives you the peace of mind that all items are safe.

Christmas Decoration and Seasonal Storage for Personal Use

Christmas decoration and seasonal storage for personal use can become very difficult. This is especially true if you don’t have an attic or other large area for storage in your home because Christmas lights, artificial trees, garlands, and baubles can take up significant room. Many of us have experienced trying to cram everything into a cupboard at the start of January, hoping the pile won’t collapse and fall out on top of us!

One way that you can store Christmas decorations for your home is through flexible self-storage options. This means that you don’t need to think about decorations for the majority of the year, only having them in your property when they are required! You can then use your space efficiently, keeping hold of the items you need on a regular basis. Additionally, all items are held securely with effective measures in place to prevent damage or theft.

Another option you have for Christmas decoration and seasonal storage is grouping together with some friends or neighbours. You can then share the cost of a storage unit throughout the year. This is a great way of keeping your costs even lower!

FURNITURE STORAGE 101: TIPS FOR LONG-TERM PRESERVATION

By Élise Beudet • 13 Mar, 2024

When it comes to storing your furniture for the long haul, a bit of strategic planning goes a long way. Whether you're downsizing, moving house, or just seeking extra space, Flexible Storage is here to guide you through Furniture Storage 101. Our specialised self-storage solutions ensure your furniture remains in top-notch condition, ready to come back home whenever the need arises. Clean and Prep Before bidding farewell to your beloved furniture, embark on a thorough cleaning mission. Dust and debris can settle during storage, potentially causing damage over time. Take the time to use appropriate cleaners for different materials—wood polish, fabric cleaner, or metal polish—and make sure everything is completely dry before putting it away. This initial step sets the stage for safe long-term storage. Disassemble Smartly For items that can be disassembled, such as tables and bed frames, take advantage of the space-saving benefits. Disassembling not only saves space but also reduces the risk of damage during transport and storage. Ensure to keep all screws and bolts organised in labelled bags, providing a foolproof plan for stress-free reassembly when the time comes to retrieve your furniture. Quality Packing Materials Investing in high-quality packing materials is a small expense compared to the potential damage your furniture might face. Wrap items in furniture blankets or bubble wrap to provide an extra layer of protection against scratches and dings. Consider using specialised furniture covers for items like sofas and chairs, protecting them from dust and potential stains. The peace of mind that comes with knowing your furniture is well-protected is priceless! Storing Conditions Matter Wood and upholstery are particularly sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity. Opt for an airtight, watertight and fireproof storage unit, like the ones at Flexible Storage, to mitigate the risk of warping, mould, or mildew. Elevate Furniture Keep your furniture off the ground by using pallets or boards. This precaution prevents potential moisture damage and makes it easier to clean the storage unit when needed. Regular Check-Ins Unless you have chosen the long-term storage option, it is essential to maintain an active presence. Schedule periodic visits every few months to check on your furniture. This proactive approach allows you to identify and address any issues promptly before they escalate. At Flexible Storage, we encourage our clients to stay engaged with their stored items, providing easy access for regular check-ins to ensure everything is in order. Labelling System Create a labelling system for your storage boxes and furniture parts. A clear and organised approach makes retrieval a breeze, saving you time and effort when you're ready to reclaim your items. Insurance for Peace of Mind Consider insurance coverage for your stored furniture. While Flexible Storage takes every precaution to ensure security, having insurance provides an added layer of peace of mind in unforeseen circumstances. At Flexible Storage, we understand the importance of preserving your furniture for the long term. By following these tips and using our specialised self-storage solutions, you can rest easy knowing your furniture is in good hands. Contact us today to get started on your storage journey!
