It seems like common sense: having more space to store your things would, naturally, decrease the clutter in your life. This lead to reduced stress and better living conditions. However, there are many unforeseen uses that storage units have that may reduce the chaos in other ways in your life—ways to simplify, organize, and, overall, reduce distraction. Storing Kids’ Toys Now that the kids are headed back to school, have you noticed that all the clutter in their rooms is distracting them from sitting down and focusing on their schoolwork? Yet it’s not as though you can haul their entire rooms off to donation centers; some items likely retain sentimental value and thus should not be donated. These items can be placed in your storage unit so that they are out of sight, out of mind, but still “in the family.” Holding Onto Your Favorite Books Many of us have been there: After finishing college, our books are a testament to all of the hard work we put into getting that degree. Many of them are also classics that we want to hold onto--why repurchase them later in life? But how can we do that when we are moving around from apartment to apartment, sometimes even across the country, seeking work? Storing them at the home you grew up in may be an option, but many people do not realize the risk this carries with it: if your “stuff” from college is being stored under your parent’s house or up in the attic, chances are rodents are going to get to it and gnaw through these items or leave droppings, completely and utterly destroying them. Wouldn’t it make more sense to get a climate controlled, safe storage space? Extra Storage Space for Family Business These days, more and more people are deciding that working for themselves is the way to go, and starting their own business makes the most sense. However, given how expensive it is to lease a space for your business, it seems like working from home often makes the most sense. Yet for those who don’t want to clutter their personal space with all of their various business items, turning to storage space to store inventory and materials is becoming more and more popular. Your “Artistic” Side For those who look forward to attending annual events like Burning Man—an even organized around building an entire civilization in the middle of the desert, which is devoted to art and expression—you know that costumes and interactive sculptures—amongst other “mediums”—are a must. But what do you do with these items the rest of the year? In order to keep them safe and protected, a storage unit makes the most sense.
