Stanimir Danchev, a stoWhen organizing a storage unit, there\u2019s no need to overcomplicate things. Stanimir Danchev, a storage expert with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/storage\/\">Fantastic Removals<\/a>, a London-based company specializing in storage containers, advises that you approach the task at hand methodically. Sort the items you plan to store into categories, such as clothing, electronics, documents, and seasonal items. Create a master list of your items and make sure your items adhere to unit guidelines, and make sure that a storage unit is the appropriate place for each item, as there are specific <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/things-you-cant-store-in-a-storage-unit\/\">items that cannot be stored in a storage unit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> To <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/declutter-your-apartment-in-two-weeks\/\">avoid additional clutter,<\/a> you&#8217;ll want to do a cleanse of items you no longer use. Take stock of what you no longer use, the condition of items, and decide what stays and what goes.<br>By creating a helpful inventory list with item categories, you&#8217;ll be able to decide if you need industrial shelving or other smaller shelving units so you can categorize and organize your items for storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your inventory list first and foremost by deciding<a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/things-you-cant-store-in-a-storage-unit\/\"> what items can and can&#8217;t be stored in a storage unit<\/a>. From there, you could sort your items into categories like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Frequent access: items you&#8217;ll use on a daily or weekly basis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seasonal items: seasonal decorations, holiday decorations, <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/5-tips-for-storing-clothes\/\">seasonal clothing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/preparing-hiking-equipment-for-storage\/\">camping accessories<\/a>, lawn care accessories, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Everyday items: <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/small-business-inventory-storage-2\/\">business inventory<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/outdoor-gear-shed-storage-unit\/\">sports equipment<\/a>, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Household belongings: shoes or shoe racks, extra clothing or clothing racks, sentimental items, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High-value items: art, antiques, electronics, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Furniture: dining room tables, dressers, couches, chairs, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"make-an-inventory-of-your-stored-items\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Make-an-Inventory-of-Your-Stored-Items\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Make an Inventory of Your Stored Items<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you load up your unit, Danchev recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-self-storage-inventory\/\">additional organizational support<\/a> on the front end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cUse a simple spreadsheet or an inventory management app so you know exactly what you have in storage. You\u2019ll also want to give some special consideration to items you need to access more frequently, because you&#8217;ll want to store them front and center for easy retrieval.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Stanimir Danchev, a storage expert with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/storage\/\">Fantastic Removals<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"choose-the-right-boxes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Choose-the-Right-Boxes\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Choose the Right Boxes<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can either use clear plastic or durable cardboard boxes for storage, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/clear-storage-bins-lids\/s?k=clear+storage+bins+with+lids\">clear plastic boxes<\/a> are excellent to use for proper packing storage solutions that are hardier than cardboard and will help keep the damp away from clothes, books, and other items susceptible to mildew. Plus, you can easily see into clear boxes. Also, stick to boxes that are roughly the same size, and stack large boxes on top of other large boxes and small boxes on top of small boxes\u2014this maximizes space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clear boxes also create an additional layer for ease of access because you can clearly see what&#8217;s inside each box or stack of boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"label-your-boxes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Label-Your-Boxes\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Label Your Boxes<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Grab a permanent marker and duct tape or stickers, and make your life easier by labeling your stacks of boxes. This way, you\u2019ll never be forced to dig around to discover their contents. Use color-coded labels to instantly be able to tell which boxes contain clothes, household goods, books, files, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"create-a-map-of-your-storage-unit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Create-a-Map-of-Your-Storage-Unit\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Create a Map of Your Storage Unit<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Create an innovative storage experience for yourself and avoid a storage unit maze, and make finding your things so much easier by putting your art skills to the test. Sketch a map or layout of your entire storage unit, either marking the placement of different categories of items or linking it to an itemized inventory. Then snap a picture of it on your smartphone, file a copy at home, and put a hard copy in the storage unit itself for quick and easy reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"strategically-position-your-items-in-your-unit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Strategically-Position-Your-Items-in-Your-Unit\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Strategically Position Your Items in Your Unit<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important storage tips is to organize your unit based on how often you\u2019ll use the items you&#8217;re storing. You don\u2019t want to store items frequently needed buried under loads of boxes, so it\u2019s a good idea to put the items you need often in the front of the unit. It\u2019s also best to leave some space between rows of boxes and furniture, creating walkways and aisles that help you move about freely and find what you need with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you store heavier or bulkier items as base items, or a stable bottom layer, and stack other boxes on those. You&#8217;ll want to make sure awkward items, breakable items, and items with sentimental value are securely stored on top of the heaviest items or in another area altogether. You can also use pallets or wooden planks to elevate items off the floor and create additional storage space.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"relative my-[56px] lg:my-[64px] p-8 lg:py-[70px] lg:pr-[50px] rounded-[4px] overflow-hidden\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"absolute top-0 left-0 w-full h-full object-cover lg:hidden\" src=\"https:\/\/www.selfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/stored-moving\/assets\/post-content-image-bg-mobile.png\" alt=\"Placeholder\" \/>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"absolute top-0 left-0 w-full h-full object-cover hidden lg:block\" src=\"https:\/\/www.selfstorage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/stored-moving\/assets\/post-content-image-bg-desktop.png\" alt=\"Placeholder\" \/>\n  <div class=\"relative text-white lg:max-w-[307px] lg:ml-auto\">\n    <p class=\"h6 uppercase font-semibold\"><\/p>\n    <h2 id=\"maximize-your-storage-space\" class=\"h3 !mt-1 text-white\">Maximize Your Storage Space<\/h2>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selfstorage.com\/\" class=\"!inline-flex mt-5 btn btn--secondary !text-white hover:!no-underline\">Find a Storage Unit Near You<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div> \n\n\n<h2 id=\"maximize-your-storage-space\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Maximize-Your-Storage-Space\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Maximize Your Storage Space<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To maximize space in your unit, arrange large, bulky items like furniture towards the back, ideally on either side against the wall. Stack boxes and items securely on sturdy shelving units by placing heavier, less frequently accessed items down low and lighter items up top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bikes, instruments, sporting equipment, tools, <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/childhood-item-storage\/\">baby items<\/a> like strollers, and other bulkier items may be able to be hung on special wall-mounted racks and hooks that will help you <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/vertical-closet-storage-organization-space-saving-hacks\/\">make the most of your vertical space<\/a>.

Having a practical storage unit layout will allow you to create extra storage space by maximizing the cubic feet of your storage unit. Make sure if you have any inaccessible stacks, they&#8217;re not items you need to access on a regular basis. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll end up organizing your unit, undoing all of that hard work, getting the items you need, then reorganizing the unit. And eventually, you&#8217;ll get tired of digging through and reorganizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> To keep your unit practical and clutter-free, consider doing an annual clear-out. Go through your items in storage and determine when to keep, <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/where-to-donate-items-2\/\">donate<\/a>, sell, and send to the dump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If storing <a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/business-and-commercial-storage-units\/\">commercial inventory<\/a>, check expiration dates and reorder supplies as needed. Routine maintenance makes it easy to declutter and get rid of items you no longer need or use to free up valuable storage real estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/selfstorage.com\/blog\/business-and-commercial-storage-units\/\">Commercial and Business Storage Units<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how did Kelly resolve her storage unit woes?
