6 Life Reasons Why Self Storage Is The Stress Free Answer
Your Self Storage in The Southern Highlands
Yep, we know it. Ups, downs and loop de loops, and as much as we want to be in control sometimes we ‘just have to ride it”.
And riding it means that life’s twists and turns can often leave us with a big bunch of questions, thoughts and stressors.
What to do next?
Where to go?
And to top it all off … What do I do with all my stuff?
We can’t answer all of these questions for you but there is at least one we can help you with - the stuff one!
Here is a list of 6 life reasons when self storage is going to help - cos ‘we’re a practical bunch here!
Choose ground floor storage with easy access.
Divorce
Separation or divorce is almost always difficult. Emotions are high, tensions are heavy and you have a whole relationship's worth of things to sort through.
Often one or both members of your relationship choose to move from the home you shared and if you’re temporarily downsizing or crashing in a friend's spare room there are lots of things you won’t be able to take with you for the time being.
By finding a self storage centre that offers flexible rental, you can pop your things in storage as you sort out your next steps.
When you find yourself settled in a new place you can have it all back and ready for you to start fresh.
Moving interstate or overseas long term
Maybe you’ve been called away for work, maybe an interstate family member needs you to stay with them for a while, or maybe you’ve decided to embark on a whirlwind round-the-globe trip for an extended period of time …. first stop The Maldives, please!
For whatever reason, you may be going away for a little while but not forever.
If you’re in a rental property you’ll probably choose to move out and if you own your home you might be renting it out for some extra cash [hello, that second scoop of gelato in Rome].
This means you gotta find somewhere to put your stuff.
Keeping things in self storage means they’ll be safe, dry and secure and when you get home you won’t have to have the hassle of buying everything all over again….. Especially if it’s a beloved one-of-a-kind antique family heirloom [can't really find that at Kmart, can you?]!
Use quality packing supplies for long term storage protection.
Renovating or building a new home
Ahhhh the joys of a fresh new or newly renovated home.
Making your space perfect for you and your tribe can be super rewarding but it can also take time, patience and a whole lotta upheaval.
There’s so much time in limbo while you're waiting for your new or renovated home to be finished and often you’ll find yourself in cosier spaces with more home goods than you have room for.
Perhaps it’s because you’ve blocked off rooms for renovating and need to move furniture out, maybe you’re downsizing in a rental while you wait for key handover day or you’ve got lots of lovely new whitegoods or furnishings to store before you can move in.
Either way, cluttering your home with these things will only bring more stress to the situation and perhaps even put a taint on the whole thing, dang!
Wouldn’t you rather be focusing on which tiles you want in the bathroom without having to worry about where you’re going to store them before they get laid? Lucky tiles…
Utilising self storage to keep your furniture, white goods and anything else you need safe, will give you the stress-free energy to keep things moving ahead.
