5 Steps for Moving a Couch Into Storage

Storage Tips

From late-night snacks to sick days, or binge-watching your favorite show, your couch is with you through it all. Now, you have decided to upgrade the furniture in your home, but aren’t ready to part with your old couch yet. We’ve all been there. If you still intend to use your couch in the future, consider storing it in a storage unit. A storage unit will help to keep your couch in the best condition until you need it next. Are you looking for tips for moving and storing a couch? Find them here!

Before moving a couch, it is important to give it a thorough cleaning. First, vacuum the couch to suck up any crumbs, dirt, or hair. When vacuuming, make sure you hit under the couch cushions and pillows. Next, the spot cleans the sofa with an upholstery cleaner.

5 Tips for Organizing Your Self Storage Unit

Storage Tips

Renting a self-storage unit is your first step in making more space in your home, garage, or place of business. But to truly get the best use out of this extra space, you need to organize it efficiently. Here are five tips on how to stretch the space in your self-storage unit. Start at the Beginning As you’re packing up your boxes before moving them to your storage unit, be sure that you fill them. To keep them from becoming too heavy, pack them with a mixture of light and heavy items, such as books or glassware combined with draperies, cloth, or pillows. It’s also helpful if you can use boxes that are all the same size. This will make it easier to stack them and keep your boxes organized. Label, Label, Label There are one of two ways you can go about this. Either write the entire contents of each box on its side. Or put a number on each box and write its content on a list. Then, as you fill your storage unit, keep the boxes in order. This way, when you need a specific item, you can locate it on your list and then know right where to go in your storage unit. Make It Accessible Once you’ve done all that careful labeling and begin to stack your boxes in your storage unit, be sure to build a walkway by leaving a couple of feet between each row of boxes. This way, when you do need to get something from a box you can easily locate it without having to move a ton of stuff. Don’t Waste Any Space Remember that the floor of your self-storage unit isn’t the only place to store things. Use bungees and hooks to hang items from the walls and/or ceiling of your unit. All of the space between those walls is yours to use, so get creative and utilize every inch. Pack Strategically Finally, remember that no matter how well you label your boxes and organize your unit, the items ...

Creative ways to use self storage

Storage Tips

Emergency Cache To start with, you can store food and other items there to retrieve as needed and avoid taking up precious space in your Garage or home. In fact, the key to successful emergency planning is storing items in different places so you can access them even if you can’t get home, and a storage unit is a great choice. The city of Paramus NJ, has another ingenious suggestion for storage. It encourages residents of the beachside town, which is located in a tsunami zone, to rent space and leave it empty and available to drop off items from their houses if they need to flee. Art Gallery Fridge and walls full at home? Finding a place to store your child’s artwork for posterity – you know, just in case he becomes the next Monet — is a great use of storage space. But Derek Donnelly, an artist in Miami, has elevated storage containers to an “art form,” you might say, using them as an art gallery space in the arts district of Pinellas Park. The gallery is created from three containers that include a studio space, while other containers serve as his apartment. Maker Space Why not turn storage space into a make-shift workshop? Ben R., a chef in Bergen County NJ Self Storage has a side hustle upcycling antiques and furniture to sell online. His storage space offers the perfect location for sanding, painting, and refurbishing the furniture. Having a separate space disconnected from his home has helped him turn enough of a profit that he is planning an upcoming trip to Rosedale Park NJ, Fair Lawn NJ, or even Rutherford NJ. To sum things up these are things you can do with your storage unit, don’t forget to ask the company what their policies are. Office Space. Even small, at-home businesses can benefit from a dedicated office or space to do work. … Art Studio.

How to Organize a Small Room on a Budget

Storage Tips

If you’re trying to figure out how to organize a small bedroom on a budget, these 12 ingenious tips and tricks will get you there in no time! I like to have lots of baskets and shelves so that’s what I mostly added to my closet as that helped me coral my shoes, bags, and dozens of pairs of jeans. As “custom” closet solutions go, these IKEA systems are pretty cheap too. You can add as much or as little as you need and completely tailor whether you have a small or large bedroom closet, or a small or large budget! Organize your drawers with dividers Fold your clothes vertically to maximize drawer space Think outside of the box for nightstands and bedside lighting Utilize the space under your bed Utilize the space behind your door Add shelves to the walls – when you don’t have floor space, think vertical! Use basketsInstall a closet organization System DIY additional closet shelving Use felt hangers If you don’t have a closet, make one Think outside the box I’ve never had the luxury of having a huge bedroom and even now, despite the 2,800 sq. ft home we live in, our master bedroom is on the small side and definitely lacking in the organizational department. Of course, just because your Storage room is small, doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of space to utilize in order to get organized. Sometimes you have to get a little creative and even more so when you need to do it on a budget. If you’re starting from scratch with a bedroom makeover, definitely take all of these storage ideas into consideration, too! Don’t forget to sing and enjoy while packing your boxes!!

Self Storage

Gambling on a complete stranger's belongings can sometimes lead to the discovery of riches. We count down the 10 luckiest storage unit finds around the world! https://youtu.be/CRbUxnFJgjM Auctions of storage units occur after fulfilling the State lien law procedure of someone who has not made payment on their unit.

Self Storage is Synonym with Storage Wars

Self Storage

Storage Wars on A&E https://youtu.be/qrKz0tWWcso Big money can be made if you are willing to take the risk! You’re not going to believe some of the biggest payouts in Storage Wars history. There have been some tremendous hits on what seemed like junk but turned out to be an incredible find! Storage Wars always seemed like a gamble but when you find out the value of some of these collections all locked up, you’ll understand why people take such chances on what often looks like junk. And before you go screaming Storage Wars is fake, or Storage Wars is staged, or Nobody watches Storage Wars, when you see the values here you might just become a believer. Darrell Sheets was known as the gambler on Storage Wars – always taking a shot at something for a big payday. Sheets hit the big time when he discovered original paintings by surrealist Frank Gutierrez in a storage container that he picked up for $3600. That might have seemed steep at the time, but it turned out that the Gutierrez originals were worth a whopping $300,000. Good thing Darrell found it and not Barry Weiss – Barry never sells anything! Darrell also scored a major hit when in season 5 he came across what seemed to be a storage unit full of toys. But it turned out that they weren’t just any toys – it was vintage toys still in their containers and a load of comic books. All told, the unit contained over 3000 comic books and enough collectible classics to be worth over $60,000. That’s a lot of loot for some toys! #StorageWars #StorageWarsBiggestPayouts ...

Options for Storage + Solutions

Self Storage

When and If you need to store some, or all of your belongings when moving, consider the following when choosing the best storage situation. You will first need to determine whether you need short-term or long-term storage and which items will be stored. This will help figure out which size storage unit to rent. Before making any final decisions, research all your storage options and find out about: Access – What are the hours of operation? Price – What are the fees? Will the fee change if you store your items for longer than originally planned? Are there any additional, or hidden fees? Cleanliness – Are the storage units and premises clean? If your items will be stored for a long period of time, you want to ensure your items leave the storage in the same condition they went into storage. Security – Does the storage facility provide onsite security? Is there a fire system? Is it protected from flooding? Storage optionsMany moving companies can also provide storage when moving your belongings. They are not like a self-storage facility, so if regular access to your belongings is important, renting a self-storage unit is a better option. For long-term storage, containers are convenient. Insurance is advised when items are being stored, and is often required. Check what you will need to make sure your items are insured! To learn more visit https://www.mycubestorage.com ...
