A new season is in full swing, opening up new opportunities to rearrange space at home and at work. Changes occur instantly after the Summer holidays as a new routine is established alongside the change of weather. To make the most of your potential space, we offer a variety of tips to help you have a better season. Whether it be related to the weather or even the kids leaving the nest to attend university, find out the best uses of self-storage at the start of autumn.

1 Big Self Storage is located in East Tilbury and features as a local storage solution for personal and commercial use. Seasonal changes often transform the way you use your self-storage unit, including the use of decorations and appliances. Our units range from 12 to 200 sq. ft. spaces, allowing our clients to store a few treasures or the entire household’s worth of items. We also offer asset storage to clients who need a larger amount of space for their assets and stock.

Rearrange your Space at the Start of Autumn

You can optimise your space at the start of any season to get ahead of the weather and the upcoming events it brings. The start is always a fantastic moment to rearrange your space to cater to these changes. There are always ways to maximise space at home when transitioning between seasons. Whether it be sorting your home to clear summer items or simply getting ahead of Halloween, here are a few ways you can sort and store at the beginning of autumn.

Clear the Garden to Get Ahead

Some garden furniture and accessories may not be compatible with the autumn weather, especially if you have no storage for the cushions they feature. Rearrange space in the garden to get ahead of the sheer mass of leaves that will soon drop over the course of the season. A 75- or 100-square-foot space could be all you need to store your garden furnishings until next year. Storing ahead of time can also help you prepare the garden faster, so you aren’t caught out in the rain later in the month. You can also place a smaller abundance of outdoor items in a 25- or 50-sq-ft unit, depending on their size.

Students Away Cause Clutter Trouble

College and University students who are away from home often leave a big, vacant space at home, which can be a haven even if it’s not needed upon return. Rearrange space so that the worst of their stuff can be contained externally, which then enables you to reuse a lot of the space in other ways. This includes converting the room into a spare room for other family members or simply keeping the space open and clear. If there is something to hide away, place it where it won’t get in the way of free space.

Skip Usual Storage Before Halloween

For those who love to prepare way ahead of time, self-storage opens up a better route to gather what you need for upcoming events. Collect all the decorations, party essentials, and even stacks of sweets you need without taking up room at home. Not only will this help keep your home free of space, but it will also stop those urges of breaking any pack or wrapper early. Decorations can also be bigger than before when you don’t need to worry about home storage. Plus, everything can be a surprise, so going bigger has a greater impact.
