Some life changes can be planned, while others happen suddenly. Whatever the situation, self storage can give you practical support and peace of mind — freeing up time and space so you can focus on the emotional side of major life events.
Moving in together
Combining two households often means you end up with duplicate items — from beds and wardrobes to crockery and cookware. Rather than selling them for little value or throwing them away, you could keep them in a storage unit. That way, you’ll have spares ready when you move into a larger home or if your current items need replacing later.
Welcoming a new baby
Preparing a nursery before your baby arrives is much easier than doing it afterwards. If the room is already in use as an office or spare room, store that furniture in a unit until you need it again. You may also want to place fragile or unsafe items (such as glass tables or vases) into storage until your child is older.
Relationship breakdown
Separating from a partner often means finding temporary accommodation. A storage unit gives you a secure place to keep your share of the household contents — from beds and wardrobes to sofas and dining sets — until you’re ready to move into a permanent home.
Bereavement
Sorting through a loved one’s belongings is difficult while coping with grief. Storing furniture, clothing, books and personal items in a unit allows you to take your time and make thoughtful decisions when you’re ready, without pressure.
Downsizing
If your home feels too big once the children have left, downsizing can make life easier. But you may find that you have more furniture and belongings than will fit in a smaller home. A storage unit lets you hold onto treasured possessions — extra beds, wardrobes, sofas, or tables — giving you breathing space and helping the move feel less like a sacrifice.
