Storage Solutions During Home Makeovers 

Renovating or redecorating your home is such an exciting adventure! Whether you’re refreshing a single room or giving your entire house a facelift, managing your space and belongings can quickly become quite the challenge. That’s where Flexible Storage comes in to save the day. Here are some handy storage solutions to keep things smooth and stress-free during your home makeover.

Declutter Before You Start

Before you dive into the renovation, take a little time to declutter. Go through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or toss. Decluttering not only helps you organise but also means fewer items to store temporarily and more space for new additions to your home—triple win!

Self Storage Units

Temporary storage units are an absolute lifesaver during home renovations. Flexible Storage offers various unit sizes to fit whatever you need to stash away — long-term or short-term! By moving non-essential items into storage, you’ll free up space in your home, making it easier for contractors (or yourself — we love DIY kings and queens!) to work and for you to manage the makeover to bring your new home ideas to life.

Store Room by Room

If you’re renovating in phases, consider storing items room by room. This makes it super easy to locate and retrieve items when needed. Just label boxes clearly with the room name and a brief description of what’s inside to keep things straightforward.

Water-tight and Fireproof Storage

Certain items, like electronics, wooden furniture, and artwork, need a little extra care. Water-tight and Fireproof storage units such as the ones we offer at Flexible Storage protect your valuables from the elements, ensuring they stay in great condition throughout the renovation.

Create an Inventory

An inventory list can be a real game-changer. Note down all the items you’ve stored and their locations within the unit. This way, you can quickly find what you need without turning the storage unit upside down.

Protect Your Belongings

When packing your items, make sure they’re properly protected. Use bubble wrap, packing paper, and sturdy boxes to prevent damage. For larger items like furniture, moving blankets or export wrap can offer that extra layer of protection.

Plan for Access

If you think you might need to access certain items during the renovation, plan ahead. Place frequently used items near the front of the storage unit and less frequently used ones towards the back. This way, you can easily reach what you need without having to unload everything.

Maximise Space

Make the most of your storage unit by using shelving and stacking boxes strategically. Place heavier boxes at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Don’t forget to use vertical space to keep things organised and efficient.
