What To Look For When Considering Furniture Storage

There’s a lot to consider when searching for the best way to store your belongings, but the main point to keep in mind is WHERE to store it, rather than HOW – so this defitely what to look for when considering furniture storage.

You can start by investigating your storage options. The main aspect to keep in mind is that a storage place must be dry, clean, secure, safe and easy to access.

For those who are lucky enough to have a spare bedroom in the house for this purpose, this room is for sure your best bet when it comes to being dry, clean, secure, safe and easy to access. Outside rooms can also be a good option, but we often find that they are not as clean, secure and dry as they should be, posing a risk to furniture.

If you don’t have the space for storage at home, then self-storage rooms for furniture storage are the most reliable and cost-effective option.

How To Store Your Furniture Safely

Clean your furniture thoroughly – Before wrapping your furniture or covering it with sheets or plastic, make sure it has been cleaned properly and it is dry. This will avoid future damages such as dirt marks that become too difficult to remove, mould growing and unwanted smells.

Take everything apart – Disassemble your furniture if you can before storing it. This will allow you to use your storage space smartly, saving on space, but it will also facilitate the transportation process.

Wrap furniture for long-term storage – Needless to say that covering or wrapping your furniture will protect it during the moving process, but it will also protect it from time exposure when placed inside your chosen storage facility.

Don’t store too much in one room – Storing too much in one room can make it difficult for you to access your belongings if you need them. It’s also not so safe, as if something falls, it can knock down the whole storage contents, potentially damaging items or hurting someone once the door is open. Ideally, leave some space for you to move around the room.
