There are lots of reasons you might move into a place that can't quite hold all of your stuff. Perhaps you just started college and have to share a dorm room. Maybe you are downsizing to save some money on your rent or mortgage. Or maybe your kids have finally all moved out, and you can finally head into that quiet retirement community you have dreamed about for the past ten years. Whatever the reason for your move, there is no reason to try and cram all of your things in a small space when you use a Hallandale storage unit. Consolidate Your Things with Dual-Purpose Furniture Furniture that serves more than one purpose in a small living space is a must. From ottomans and end tables that store extra things inside to sofas that fold out into beds, some form of dual-purpose furniture will undoubtedly make its way into your new home at some point. You can store the old furniture that you want to keep for later in your storage unit, and when you do move into a bigger place, you can put your small-space furniture away until someone else in your family needs it. Maximize Your Closet Space One of the most cramped places in a small home or apartment is the closet. Maximize the space you have by storing your off-season clothes and shoes in your self storage unit. You won't have to think about them again until the weather changes. Bigger items that often take up closet space, such as sewing machines, quilts and blankets, and musical equipment can also find a home in your storage unit. Save Your Kitchen for the Things You Use Every Day From blenders to slow cookers to giant deep-fryers, most people end up with more kitchen appliances than they actually use on a regular basis. But you don't want to get rid of that nifty ice cream maker that you bring to the family Memorial Day picnic every year. Put all the huge kitchen appliances that you only use on occasion in storage, and pull them out only when you need them. Keep Your Music, Film, and Book Library Off-Premises You may be able to keep your digital collections at home, but you shouldn't have to get rid of your hard-back books, old VHS tapes, DVDs, and CD collection if you don't want to. Store them in your Hallandale self storage unit and visit once a week to swap out the ones you want for the upcoming week. You can even keep lots of other things you have, like shoes, in storage to free up even more space. Make the most of your space and rent a storage unit in Hallandale today!
