May 29, 2025Self-storage can be utilised in various ways during the Summer, benefiting any home or circumstance. With Summer in full swing, we have listed our top reasons why making the move into self-storage can help you this season. The transition to a new season can easily lead to the accumulation of unused clothes, items, or even furniture. As there are many ways self-storage can help you out, we have compiled the top 6 reasons for using self-storage that can help keep out junk and maximise your space in any room.
Move into Self-Storage This Summer
The summer can often bring about change, along with the great weather that brings everyone outside. However, some of these changes can affect the space you have at home, including the start of the holiday season. With students returning and big changes often planned during the season, we have a few ideas of how you can move into self-storage that takes advantage of your local storage solution. With the various clients we have stored with us so far, we have compiled the top 6 reasons they have decided to store with us during this Summer season.
6) Student Storage – Short or Long-Term
Moving back home after studying at university can often require furniture, books, and more to clutter up the home. This can make it difficult to keep a space tidy or even become an inconvenience when it’s not needed until next year. The move into self-storage provides the space you need to keep everything organised and ready for the next year. It can also be a great way to store items until needed at a later date, such as project materials or even books that you may need to revisit later.
5) Make Way for The New
If you are getting a new sofa or fridge but don’t want to get rid of the old one, self-storage can help you keep it without having to sacrifice space. This can be a great way to gather any unused furniture into one location that could be used for a family member or another room when the time comes. No matter what you decide to do, any asset will be kept secure, clean, and dry, plus we also sell covers that can help keep furniture in the condition it comes in.
4) Make Space and Declutter
There will also be items that take up space in the home that could be best placed in a storage unit. This includes winter clothes, unused tools, or even outdated technology that you may not be using often enough to keep accessible. Self-storage is the best alternative storage method and helps keep any excess items from overcrowding your home or workplace. A self-storage unit can also be the perfect place to sort out items so you can figure out what to keep and what you can part with.
3) Small Units for Arts and Supplies
Aside from 25 SQFT units, we also have 12 SQFT units, which are perfect for storing art supplies, suitcases, or other items that you may use to craft with. Whether you need a place to put paint or even have a set of minifigures, this self-storage unit can help keep any set or range of supplies ready for when you need them. This is also fantastic for those who play tabletop games such as Warhammer, since you can keep full sets without risk of damage or taking up usable space. You can also keep stock of art in a storage unit, ensuring that you don’t have to pass on a deal when you could use more than one canvas for your favourite pastime.
2) Out of Season Essentials To Store
There are more than just clothes that need to be stored during the Summer months. This includes key items such as radiators and even Skiing equipment which won’t be used for months. Self-storage is a great way to keep all items out of the way, but also keeps everything together until the season changes. A self-storage unit can also be used throughout the year, as you can switch out skis for garden furniture when Autumn finally forces you to make the exchange.

1) Move House In Steps
Moving house is never easy, but self-storage helps make any transition easier to manage. This includes breaking the move into steps by having some of your items in a self-storage unit. Making the move into self-storage before moving into your new home can save time and reduce the stress of trying to move everything in a single day.
