Mini Storage and You

“Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.”~ Author Unknown

You may have not have even been aware of it, but chances are that you have collected a lot of “stuff” over the years.

If this is the case, you're not alone. Many of us find it hard to throw away everything that we don't still use - maybe for sentimental reasons, because we've bought stuff when they are on sale, or maybe things that may have a future use (one day).

Of course, there are always a number of compulsive hoarders, who collect things that may be needed to just in case of rainy days: often compulsively.

Clearing Clutter

Clutter at home, in your office, or personal space can become a terrible source of stress.

Starting your day with things you can’t find – keys, cell phone, a pair of your shoes – is like getting up on the wrong side of the bed. Sooner or later the time to clear out some of the things that are cluttering up your life will come.

Perhaps you are planning to sell your home and move into a smaller one once all the kids have gone their separate ways.

Perhaps a job promotion means transferring to another city or country where you can’t take everything you’ve collected through the years.

Or maybe, you just decided to de-clutter to create more space.

Whatever is your reason, you need to decide on what you can live without and what you want to keep. This is often a hard process, but mini storage you to make the process much easier.

Mini Storage to the Rescue

Even for those of us who aren't hoarders by nature, parting with things that you kept for years and that have become part of your life is never easy.

Yet there are times in your life when it seems that there is no other way but get rid of them.

However, there is a middle ground. You can keep these items in a mini storage facility until such time that you are able to let go of them, have found a way to give them away, sell them, or reuse them.

Another great thing that a handy mini storage facility is able to offer you is the opportunity to keep these things handy for you whenever you do need them but away from your home.

What is mini storage?

A mini storage unit provides you with a secure place for those personal possessions that you do not need daily, which you can’t easily keep at your home or work, or that you can’t take with you in your new residence or office.

These are self storage facilities that are ideally set up to provide you with smaller, more flexible and more cost effective storage units that can suitably and temporarily store personal or office paraphernalia (“stuff”).

Mini storage units come in a range of different sizes and are usually strategically located with easy access. You provide your own locks to ensure that you have sole access your things.

You rent your storage space under a flexible contract arrangements by the month or for longer periods to meet your needs.

Modern Solutions to Space Problems

The current trend in urban housing is towards minimalism and high-rise living that squarely addresses the problem of limited living spaces in the metropolis.

This tends to create a more functional space, since this is becoming a prized commodity in cities like Melbourne and Sydney.

A result of this trend is a reduction in the amount of space within these apartments for you to store the things that you have acquired over the years. This often results in the need to reduce clutter in order to have enough space for the basic things you need.

A number of apartment buildings have found ways of dealing with the storage issue – some more effective than others, while many others have simply ignored these issues altogether.

An example is to offer above bonnet storage in car spaces as shown. While this option can work for smaller sedans where the bonnet is able to extend somewhat beyond the wheelbase, of course there are problems for owners of vans, etc.

Another potential issue from such solutions relates to security. The majority of these storage “solutions” are not monitored with security cameras, etc.

With the limited storage spaces available in most modern offices and residential apartments in the metropolis, mini storage can offer a real and convenient solution.

We can only expect these space problems to become worse in coming years, and anticipate that modern day solutions will become ever more popular.

You will be amazed by what mini storage can do for you and your belongings.
