Renovation Relief: How Self-Storage Can Help During Home Renovations
Why Protecting Your Belongings During Renovations Matters
Renovations typically involve a lot of dust, paint, heavy tools, and foot traffic. Even with the best intentions, accidents happen—furniture can get scratched, delicate items may be knocked over, and dust finds its way into every corner. That’s why it’s essential to move valuables and bulky items out of harm’s way before the first hammer hits the wall.
Using a secure self-storage unit during this period not only shields your belongings from damage but also gives contractors the space they need to work efficiently. You’ll avoid clutter in other rooms and keep your renovation timeline on track.
Benefits of Using Stashed Away During Renovations
- Temperature-Controlled Units: Keep furniture, electronics, and artwork safe from extreme conditions.

- Flexible Rental Options: Whether you need storage for a few weeks or several months, we offer adaptable plans to suit your project timeline.
- Clean, Dry, Accessible: Access your items when needed, and trust they’re protected in a clean, moisture-free environment.
How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size
Choosing the correct unit size ensures you’re not paying for more space than you need—but also not cramming your belongings into too small of a space. Here are some tips to guide your decision:
- Inventory Your Items: Make a list of what you’ll be storing—furniture, appliances, boxes, etc.
- Stacking is Key: Most storage units allow for vertical stacking. If you’re storing boxes, use uniform sizes for better space efficiency.
- Leave a Path: Plan for walkways in your unit so you can access things without removing everything.
- Consult with Experts: At Stashed Away, our team is happy to help you estimate the right unit size based on your needs.
As a general guide:
- 31 sq ft: Ideal for a few small furniture pieces and boxes.
- 42–63 sq ft: Perfect for the contents of a one-bedroom flat.
- 84–150 sq ft: Best for two- to three-bedroom homes.
