Moving is always hectic, even when you start packing up your home well ahead of time. When you’re moving all of your belongings at once, even with the help of professional movers, the process can quickly become overwhelming. However, renting a storage unit can help take some of the strain off of your move and streamline the process of getting out of your old home. Here are a few suggestions on how to effectively use a storage unit to make your move simpler. 

How Can You Use Storage Units During a Move?

1. Get Rid of the Clutter

MoversIf you have kids or a lot of crafts, all those supplies, toys, and trinkets can take up a lot of space, even when properly packed in boxes. If you’re moving, you’re likely not going to need access to all of your tools and equipment immediately, and those items can move to the storage unit until you’re at your new home. Getting small boxes out of the way and reducing the amount of clutter in your home will reduce how much your movers need to pack up and drive to your new home. This can help save you money on the overall cost of the move.

2. Clear Out Your Home Storage Closet

Holiday decorations and formal wear often end up in the back corners of storage closets, attics, and garages. Moving them to the storage unit ahead of time helps get them out of your way and allows you to better prioritize the items that need to be packed by professional residential movers.

3. Keep Your Heirlooms Safe

Movers do everything they can to keep your items safe in transit and unloading, but accidents can happen. If you have a favorite antique or heirloom that you want to keep safe until you’re settled in at your new home, your storage unit will make it easy. Best of all, you can leave your prized possessions in storage until you find the perfect place to display them at your new house.
