25 Nov How a Storage Unit Improves the Quality of Apartment Life
If you live in an apartment in Kamloops, a storage unit can improve the quality of apartment living by providing a safe space to store seldom-used items that you’d like to keep, but don’t want to take up valuable apartment space.
Valleyview Mini Storage customers rent storage units for many reasons, but the number one reason is to save space. A lack of storage space is one thing that most apartments have in common. It doesn’t take long to fill up your apartment’s personal storage locker (if you have one) and the longer you live in apartment, typically the more “stuff” you accumulate.
Below are several ways that renting at our Kamloops storage facility can make apartment living easier.
Store Seasonal Sporting & Recreational Gear
Kamloops is a summer and winter wonderland! Skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, boating and camping are popular seasonal activities, all of which require equipment. In the off season, this equipment can take up valuable space in an apartment. A storage unit will keep your equipment out of the way and safe until next season.
Store Christmas Decorations
Christmas decorations are a wonderful part of the holiday season, although you only need them once a year. Storing lights, decorations, ornaments and faux trees after the holiday season is over doesn’t make sense when you live in an apartment. Why let decorations clutter your apartment’s limited space?
Space for the Hobby Equipment
Hobbies like painting, sewing, crafting, gardening, fitness, photography and other pastimes usually require space for supplies and equipment. A storage rental can serve as a convenient place to keep everything organized without cluttering your apartment.
Make Renovations Easier
If you’re renovating or painting and apartment, you can temporarily move furniture and furnishings to storage until the work is completed. Moving these items protects them from paint splashes and damage, while making a trades person’s job much easier ad efficient. Accidents are more likely to occur in a fully-furnished apartment because they become obstacles to workers doing their job.
Indispensable for Downsizing Empty Nesters
If your grown children have left home and you’re downsizing from a house to a condo or apartment, a storage unit can make the transition much easier. You don’t have to decide immediately what to do with belongings that don’t fit in your new apartment.
When Staging Your Apartment for Sale
Renting storage is an easy way to temporarily clear your space for staging by a realtor or professional home stager. It’s much easier to sell a home when the seller’s personal possessions are out of sight. Staging makes it easier for a buyer to imagine themselves living in the apartment. According to the National Association of Realtors, staging can increase the sale price of home by up to 20%.
