Storage Rental at Christmas

The Christmas season is nearly here, and soon it’ll be time to lug out the Christmas tree, and all your battered decorations, from storage. Maybe this will be the year you’ll decide to eliminate a few of your children’s first Popsicle decorations. I mean, really, who could possibly want to keep them? They take up so much storage space, and they’re hardly designed very well. They were 5 years old when they made them, after all!

If the idea of throwing out your kid’s first decorations is completely abhorrent to you – perhaps you should consider storage rental this Christmas. Hire a storage unit for an affordable price, and you’ll have a perfectly sized space to keep all of your Christmas decorations while you don’t need them throughout the year. Come next Christmas, you’ll be able to get all of your stuff out of the storage unit, and hang them around the house with ease. No need to cull those nostalgic decorations to make room for more – use storage rental and get more room!

A suitably sized storage unit can hold your Christmas tree, nostalgic decorations, newly purchased decorations – even the Christmas themed picture books or cook books that you only bring out around Christmas time. Store them in organised, labelled packing boxes during storage rental, and bringing out the Christmas decorations can become so much simpler. Storage rental will make your life post-Christmas so much easier, and it’s a very affordable alternative to clogging up your cupboards at home – or indeed ruthlessly throwing out those nostalgic, handmade decorations.

The Tetris Effect with Packing Materials

Stuffing a truck full of reasonably heavy boxes into a relatively small storage unit might sometimes seem a little daunting. You have to get all of the boxes to fit, and keep them accessible. Irritation sets in pretty quickly when you’re trying to match up oddly shaped appliances in a small, potentially hot storage space.

That’s why buying packing materials from your storage facility is the best idea. Tetris is a fun game, sure, but when you’re trying to make shapes stack on other shapes by physically lifting them around, it becomes tiresome. Proper packing materials – book boxes, tea chests – are designed to stack neatly together. It’s like playing a game of Tetris with just squares. Less fun, maybe, but certainly much easier. The storage boxes will stack one on top the other with ease, fitting perfectly together, and saving a lot of space. Best of all, you won’t get teetering towers of boxes in the storage unit – instead a sturdy base that can also support the other items in your storage unit.

The Tetris effect in your storage unit will help you pack efficiently, safely, and quickly. It won’t look nearly as cool as a perfectly designed Tetris game might –but really, it’s so much easier. With packing materials of similar size and shape, your storage unit will be able to fit as much as it possibly can, while still being easy to navigate to retrieve items during your storage rental. The Tetris effect – it’s the only way to go.

Spring Cleaning in Melbourne

Spring is hitting Melbourne as we speak - the perfect season for cleaning out the cobwebs, ready for the summer months. And using self storage could be just the thing to get you motivated. You could give the house a whole new look – buy new furniture, hang new pictures, give it a new paint job. The thing that usually prevents us from going the extra mile with our spring clean: what to do with all the things already in your house. Using a storage unit this season will help your spring-cleaning efforts go much more smoothly.

Storage rental is a great solution. It gives you a decent sized space to get all of your furniture right out of the way. Leaving you free to clean the house, the floors, buy whole new furniture – whatever you want to do. You could use self-storage to keep your bigger furniture out of the way while you clean, or even to clear out your house room by room, to get every corner dusted and vacuumed. The storage unit will prevent the complications involved with moving the furniture around to other parts of the house.

Storage units can help you repaint the house, thoroughly clean each room, or even to re-organise. Simply by providing another space to put your temporarily inconvenient furniture, spring-cleaning jobs become much easier. And for a great place, and a convenient location near Melbourne’s CBD, Access Self Storage can be your first stop when you begin your spring clean. 

Using Storage to Work Interstate

Self storage is most obviously useful when you work overseas or interstate. If you’re only moving temporarily, you won’t want to bring all of your furniture with you. But if you’re selling your house or renting, you also won’t have anywhere else to keep it.

Nothing could be worse about working away from home than having to shuttle your belongings back and forth, from Melbourne to Brisbane, or even Melbourne to London. With storage rental, you can keep everything you don’t need while you travel for work in a storage unit, in one central location – and your things will still be there when you get back.

Keeping things in storage this way will save you time, energy and money. You won’t have to sell half your furniture, nor pay a large fee to a moving company to get all your things from one place to the other, and then back again not long afterwards. And you can easily access your things as well, if you happen to be around to visit.

Storage rental will keep your belongings secure as well. Most storage facilities, Access Self Storage included, offer highly secure units, with secure locking systems and professionals on site. A storage unit offers more protection and security while you’re away than keeping your possessions in an empty house, or in a storage room in your house while other people rent it.

Storage rental will most importantly help ease the stress of working temporarily interstate, or overseas. And really, isn’t that the best bit?

Storage Rental for Students

Exams are finally winding up, and the summer holidays are stretched out ahead of you. Storage rental is probably the last thing on your mind. If you’re anything like me, you would have walked into your room after your final exam, and almost tripped over the mass accumulation of paper and text books and notes strewn all over your desk, floor, and bed.

Storage rental is something worth looking into this time of year. God knows I never knew what to do with all the paperwork from the previous semester – I wish I’d known more about storage rental at the time.

Storage rental just gives you something to do with it all. Rather than spending hours going through it, trying to decide if countless drafts of previous assignment are actually worth keeping – pack it all up in some clearly labelled boxes, and stick it in storage rental.

Having storage rental booked will also help get you motivated to sort it all out, too. It was always the stress that I’d throw out something vital that stopped me from taking it all and chucking it in the bin. With storage rental, there’s somewhere to dump it all, without having to worry you’ll lose something important. Storage rental just helps you get all that paperwork out of your room. You can keep it in storage rental for the rest of the holidays, or even the rest of your studies if you needed.
