Obviously, extra space is good for more than just storing possessions. You need space to dance, work, play music, and even think—it is not something to take for granted. This couldn’t be truer than when it comes to storage units. With some large enough to walk around in or even exercise, you can take advantage of their space in many different ways.

Here are a few ways resourceful people have used their storage units:

1. Studio Space

Serious artists can’t always get their projects done at home. They may work with large or messy materials and end up taking up a lot of space, which can clutter their living areas. So, instead of working at home, some artists rent out storage units. There, they can work on their projects in a more isolated place.

2. Small Office

Are you self-employed? If so, you’re probably familiar with the occasional “cabin fever” resulting from working and relaxing in the same place. To boost your morale and help you better separate work from home, consider working in a storage unit.

3. Bike Storage

Instead of keeping them at home, though, you can keep them in a storage unit, with all your specialized bike maintenance tools. it’ll be like having your own personal bike workshop.

4. Rehearsal Space

Musicians often have a tough time practicing without disturbing the neighbors. But, what if you could rehearse somewhere out of the way? If you find a large enough storage unit—preferably where there aren’t nearby office workers, of course—you could play without bothering anyone.

5. Gym

Don’t have any room at home for your elliptical? Just keep it in your storage unit. Here, you can work out privately on your own equipment, whether you lift weights, run on a treadmill, or have other exercise regimes you can’t do elsewhere.

 

If you’re interested in any of the above uses for your storage unit, make sure to check with management first, as every self-storage company has different policies.
