Home and business owners often find themselves in need of some additional room to store all their belongings. While you might not actively be using these items, they still hold value—whether real or sentimental—and therefore, you want assurance that they are in a safe place. Storage units are popular repositories for many people's property. Here's a look at just some of the possessions that are frequently housed there.

Items Commonly Found in Storage Units

1. Seasonal Items

Storage units come in handy for storing belongings that are only used at certain times of the year. For example, while Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations help set the mood during the holidays, they can also take up a lot of space once the festive season has passed. 

2. Aging Furniture

Maybe you have a few pieces of furniture that don’t match your current style, but that you may want in the future. Instead of giving them away, arrange for the pieces to go into storage. And unlike what the old expression says, just because these items are stored out of sight does not mean they're out of mind; instead, they're just waiting for their time to be brought out again.

3. Unused Clothing

You never know when you’ll need a costume, maternity clothes, baby gear, and other unused garments. If you don’t want to toss them just yet, placing them in a storage unit ensures they will remain clean and organized. If you have many clothes in storage, be sure to label each box with sizing information so you can easily access what you may need in the future.

4. Archived Paperwork

Even if you've committed yourself to electronic documentation from now on, it can take time to scan and archive old paperwork from your home office or place of business. Since this information might still be needed later, store previous years' tax returns, business contracts, and medical information in an easily-accessible but out-of-the-way place.
