Storage Unit Tips & Guide

Tips for Maximizing Space

Maximizing space in a storage unit involves strategic planning and organization. Here are ten tips to help you make the most of your storage space:

  1. Plan and Inventory:
    • Make a list of all items you plan to store. This helps you categorize and prioritize items, ensuring you pack systematically and don't waste space on non-essential items.
  2. Use Uniform Boxes:
    • Opt for uniform-sized boxes. This makes stacking easier and more stable, allowing you to utilize vertical space efficiently.
  3. Label Everything:
    • Clearly label all boxes on multiple sides. This saves time when searching for items and prevents unnecessary unpacking and repacking.
  4. Disassemble Furniture:
    • Take apart furniture pieces like beds, tables, and shelving units. Store the disassembled parts together and keep the hardware in labeled bags attached to the furniture.
  5. Utilize Vertical Space:
    • Stack heavier, sturdier items on the bottom and lighter, fragile items on top. Use shelving units if allowed, to maximize vertical storage.
  6. Vacuum-Seal Clothes and Linens:
    • Use vacuum-seal bags for clothes, bedding, and linens. This reduces their volume and keeps them protected from dust and moisture.
  7. Fill Gaps:
    • Utilize every inch of space inside furniture, appliances, and empty containers. Store smaller items inside drawers, wardrobes, and even large appliances.
  8. Create Aisles:
    • Leave a small aisle for access, especially if you’ll need to retrieve items regularly. It might seem like wasted space, but it can save you time and hassle in the long run.
  9. Prioritize Accessibility:
    • Store items you’ll need access to more frequently at the front of the unit. Seasonal items, documents, or frequently used tools should be easily accessible.
  10. Use Furniture Covers and Protectors:
    • Cover furniture and mattresses with plastic covers or moving blankets to protect them from dust and damage while utilizing space efficiently around them.

By implementing these tips, you can maximize the space in your storage unit, ensuring your belongings are stored safely and efficiently.

About Us

David and Katharine have called West Melbury Farm home for over 30 years. Originally a dairy farm with 20,000 free-range organic laying hens, the farm has since diversified into the masonry business. Using natural stone sourced from a neighboring farm’s reopened quarry, they specialize in crafting the highly sought-after Shaftesbury Greenstone. While state-of-the-art diamond tools play a role in their work, much is still done using traditional hammer and chisel techniques.
Sustainability is a key focus at West Melbury Farm. Recent additions of two large solar panel arrays and a wind turbine enable the farm to achieve impressive green energy credentials. On sunny, windy days, they can power their home, stone yard, showroom, and the Barn Store building, actively contributing to environmental preservation. Set in the stunning Dorset countryside, the on-site location also enhances security and ensures hands-on management. Learn more at www.melburystone.co.uk.
