Many people use storage units to store excess items when they’ve run out of room in the garage or basement—or when they rent an apartment and don't have access to onsite storage. However, that's not the only use for these units. Here, the team at Northgate Mini Storage in Jacksonville, AR, offers some unique ways to benefit from a storage unit rental.

4 Different Ways to Use a Storage Unit

1. Music Practice Space 

If your band needs a place to work out the kinks in your performance, or if you are learning to play an instrument that might disturb the neighbors—such as a trumpet—consider renting a storage unit. They come in a variety of sizes to accommodate your needs, and many are climate-controlled to provide maximum comfort.

2. An Oasis

When work and family responsibilities get you down and you need a place to get away from people while you pursue a hobby or enjoy some peace, use a storage facility. Move in an old sofa and some posters and bring a beverage to enjoy while you relax in solitude.

3. Art or Writing Studio

For a peaceful place to work on your art or compose your novel, a small, out-of-the-way unit should give you optimal space. You may occasionally have to put up with neighbors moving their belongings in and out, but most facilities don't see a high volume of daily traffic.

4. Workout Space

Install a treadmill, an exercise bike, some free weights, and a yoga mat, and you've got your own personal workout space. Best of all, you can wear what you want and sweat without worrying about others staring at you or critiquing your form.
