New parenthood is an exciting time. For most families, it involves reorganizing the home to create the space needed for your little one. Storage rentals can help with that; they provide a cost-effective way to move belongings out of the house without getting rid of them, letting you focus on creating a perfect environment for the new arrival. 

How to Utilize a Storage Rental if You’re an Expectant Parent

1. Store Dangerous Items Away

As you babyproof your home, you’ll likely find a large number of possessions that you don’t want to leave lying around anymore. From firearms and tools to unsteady bookshelves and furniture with sharp corners, these are items the baby shouldn’t have access to. In the meantime, you can stick them in a rental unit for safekeeping.

2. Make Room for the Baby’s Furniture

Cleaning out the baby room will involve finding a place to store the furniture that previously resided in that room. Sticking the bed and bureau from your guest room into storage will make space for the crib, diaper changing station, and other essentials for the newest member of your family.

3. Declutter Your Home

As cute as children can be, they all get messy from time to time. For the next several years, it’s practically guaranteed that you’ll live with toys underfoot and other items scattered throughout the house. You can ease the amount of clutter by freeing up extra space before your child arrives, moving old belongings into a storage unit.
