Self-storage for the long-term can help increase space at home by switching out items for each season. Summer is in fuil swing and marks the start of a new transition that can affect your storage space. Seasonal storage grants the ability to reduce used space at home and at work, while also helping to securely manage items that are out of season. Starting with Summer, we can highlight which items you should shift around and store to make the most of your storage solution.

There are a variety of storage unit sizes that can help you throughout each season. These include 12 square foot for a small array of items like suitcases and art suppies to 50 SQFT for bikes and boxes of clothes. We also feature units as large as 100 to 200 SQFT when needed for an assortment of furniture, which is also used by many families when moving house. Seasonal storage usually only requires units between 25 and 75 SQFT, since these sizes can accomedate the selection of items commonly kept outside of their time of use.

Get the most out of your unit with a Seasonal Storage rotation

Switching out items from one season to the next can help organise your entire space so that no space at home or work is wasted. Entering Summer is also a great way to start using a storage unit for seasonal storage, with winter items taking a lot of usable space at home. As there are many items you can begin with during the summer, we have compiled the main items you should consider storing.

Store Winter During Summer

There is an abundance of items that you can instantly store in a storage unit to reduce used space. The simplest being winter clothes that are often taking up usable room during the hot weather. This includes thick coats, jumpers, and even scarfs. Boxing up these items and placing in a storage unit can have a significant impact to your home environment.

Christmas decorations and the tree are also another item that can often be placed in an awkward location for storage, especially if the loft is not available. This selection of out-of-season items can easily be placed within a 25SQFT and open up your more accessible storage space to items you are most likely to use this time of year.

Portable heaters are another item that can often be placed in a storage unit for the season. These items can take up a lot of potential space that can make a big difference to any room or conveniant storage area. Placing this type of item in a storage unit during the Summer time can have a noticable effect for any room at home or work.

Thick blankets and winter bedding are also space consuming when kept in storage at home. By having these isolated to your storage unit, you can ensure that a significant amount of waldrobe space becomes accessible. It is always worth having a small blanket just in case but winter duvets can easily take 15 to 20% of your storage space in a single room.
