Downsizing your home is both rewarding and challenging. However, there will always be some items that you absolutely cannot bear to rid of. Renting a storage unit when you’re moving into a smaller home can make the process that much easier. At A-1 Williams Mini Storage in Cookeville, TN, your items will be kept safe until you’re ready to use them again. If you’re moving, here are a few reasons to consider renting a storage unit rather than getting rid of priceless family mementos. 

• Get Rid of Clutter: When you downsize, even the smallest amount of clutter can make your home feel smaller. Many smaller homes lack the extra storage space needed to keep clutter from becoming an issue. Renting a storage unit will let you keep all those items without taking up valuable space in your new home.
• Make a Place for Seasonal Decorations: Rather than keeping your holiday decorations in your closet where they take up all that usable space, keep them in a storage unit. You’ll be able to access your decorations any time you need them without sacrificing your closet space.
• Organize & Consolidate: When all of your belongings are scattered throughout your home, it can be difficult to find the items you need when you need them. Keeping items you use infrequently in a storage unit makes it easier to locate them when you do need them. Label your boxes and keep the unit organized to make locating those items even easier.
• Store Somewhere Safer than a Garage: Storage facilities are designed to keep your belongings safe, day and night. While keeping them in your garage may seem convenient, the garage is far from the most secure room of your home. If someone breaks in, you may not hear them or notice that your belongings are missing until you need them. Storage facilities are monitored and every door locks securely.

If you’re downsizing into a smaller home, keep your belongings safe with a storage unit from A-1 Williams Mini Storage. Visit their website for more information on their affordable self-storage and call (931) 537-6005 to reserve a unit.
