Renovating your home can be exciting, but it can also be stressful when your furniture, décor, and everyday items are in the way. Using self storage during a renovation gives you the space to work freely while keeping your belongings clean, safe, and organized.
At Cornerstone Storage, we make it simple to store what you need, for as long as you need, with flexible sizes and secure facilities designed for convenience.
Step 1: Choose the Right Storage Unit Size
Start by taking inventory of what you plan to store. Cornerstone Storage offers a wide range of storage unit sizes, from small spaces perfect for boxes to large units that can hold several rooms of furniture.
- 5×5 or 5×10 units: Great for boxes, small furniture, and décor.
- 10×10 or 10×15 units: Ideal for a bedroom or living room set.
- 10×20 or 10×30 units: Perfect for storing furniture from multiple rooms or an entire home during a remodel.
Step 2: Pack and Protect Properly
Packing efficiently keeps your items safe and maximizes space inside your unit.
- Use sturdy boxes and bubble wrap for fragile items.
- Disassemble large furniture to save space.
- Cover couches and mattresses with breathable covers.
Label every box clearly for easy organization.
For even better protection, stack heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter ones on top.
Step 3: Organize for Easy Access
If you’ll need certain things before your renovation is finished, store them near the front of your storage unit for convenience. Leave walkways so you can reach important items like tools, seasonal clothing, or small appliances without moving everything around.
Step 4: Consider Climate-Controlled Storage
When storing electronics, wooden furniture, or delicate fabrics, a climate controlled storage unit is a smart investment. It helps prevent:
- Warping or cracking in wood
- Mold or mildew growth
- Moisture damage during humid months
This is especially helpful for long-term renovations or projects taking place during changing seasons.
When Self-Storage Makes the Most Sense
Here are a few renovation scenarios where using storage can make all the difference:
- Kitchen Remodel: Store appliances, dishes, and dining furniture while your kitchen is updated.
- Living Room Renovation: Keep couches, tables, and electronics off site to make flooring or painting easier.
- Bedroom Upgrades: Store bed frames, dressers, and other large pieces while painting or replacing floors.
- Whole-Home Remodel: If multiple rooms are being renovated at once, self storage keeps your household organized and safe until the project is complete.
