Have you recently rented a self storage space and want to ensure that you use said space wisely? Allow the team at Paradise Self Storage in Kahului, HI to help. This storage rental company has proudly served the people of Maui since 2006, and their team members are always ready to help clients make excellent use of the space in their storage units.

Check out four of their best tips regarding storage unit item placement:

• Layout: Create a layout of the unit to give you a much clearer idea of what belongs where. Leave an aisle in the middle of your self storage space to create easy access to items in the back, and tape a printout of your layout to the unit wall for reference.
• Vertical Space: Maximize space in your unit by storing furniture such as sofas, mattresses, and tables vertically. Consider adding freestanding shelves to the unit to make further use of its vertical space. Purchase the sturdiest shelving units you can find: This is one place where appearance doesn’t matter.
• Drawers & Cabinets: Fill any empty spaces in your storage unit, such as those found in dresser drawers and cabinets. Place small boxes in these pieces, as well as cushions, stuffed animals, linens, and anything else that fits. Make a list of what’s in each space to keep yourself organized.

  

• Chairs: Place lightweight boxes on top of chairs, especially if the chair's design doesn’t lend itself to vertical storage. Stack as many lightweight boxes as you can on the chair and check the seat and legs before you leave to be sure the weight isn’t too much.

Discuss these and other tips with Kahului's self storage space experts and relax knowing that your treasured possessions are safe. Paradise Self Storage is one of the few storage units in Maui with a gated entrance, and all storage units feature electronic access codes and alarms that alert team members when a break-in is suspected.
