People in Costa Mesa have many different reasons for using Costa Mesa storage. Some are the same reasons that people across the country use self-storage: to keep furniture out of the way during a home renovation, to store inventory for a small business, or to make room for a new baby. In Costa Mesa, many people have more specific reasons for utilizing self-storage as well, such as keeping delicate art pieces safe from damage. Art is Important in Costa Mesa Costa Mesa is perhaps best known for being home to a bustling arts scene. Visual art can be found in its many galleries and performances can be seen at its South Coast Repertory and Segerstrom Center for the Arts. For art collectors and enthusiasts, knowing how to store art properly is necessary for preserving it. A few key tips for art storage include: Wrap framed pictures in bubble wrap to absorb any shock that can damage the frame or the piece in a fall; Fine art should never be exposed to extreme heat, extreme cold, or extreme humidity levels; Photographs should be in plastic sleeves or in albums, not in boxes; Pieces should be wrapped and stored individually, rather than in groups; and Lay your art on a flat, raised surface when in storage. Using Costa Mesa Storage After a Life Change Many different life changes force people to move or reorganize their homes. Examples of these include job transfers, divorces, purchasing and renting new homes, and having children. For any of these big life changes, having a self-storage unit can relieve some of the pressure that comes with a move, reorganization, or renovation. Storing Heirlooms Can be Tricky Costa Mesa has a colorful, yet short, history. It was incorporated in 1953 and was once home to the boat-building industry. As it grew, the city’s arts and cultural scene blossomed to make the city what it is today, “City of the Arts.” Families who have been here since the city’s incorporation and even prior often have priceless and antique heirlooms that need extra care and consideration in storage. Just like pieces of art, antique furniture and other objects are sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity levels. With vintage textiles, exposure to ultraviolet light can also be damaging, which is why upholstered fabric, garments, blankets, and decorative objects should be kept in self-storage, rather than in attics and basements.
