As the autumnal days become filled with frost and wintery weather it’s easy to become lost in the chaos of the Christmas build-up. But as we become distracted by present-buying, meal planning, and working out where those extra family members are going to stay over the Christmas break, it’s easy to let our homes become filled with unnecessary mess and clutter.

Before the festivities get fully underway, why not take some time to consider the following seasonal storage suggestions to keep your home clean, your stuff secure, and your Christmas stress-free.

Keep those Christmas present secure and secret

Many of us will take serious pride in picking and hiding our Christmas presents, so If you’re looking for a way to guarantee that your presents will not be found, why not rent a storage unit? You will be the only person to have access to your unit, and you can be sure that they will be kept safe and secure until they need to go under the tree.

De-clutter before the big day

Having friends and family stay over is a Christmas tradition for many. But you won’t be able to cater for many people if there isn’t enough space. By using a storage unit, you can make some extra room for guests this season by simply moving furniture, boxes, and clutter to a secure unit until after the big day. Your guests will have a comfortable place to stay, and you can rest assured that your belongings are safe.

One other benefit of clearing out a bit of clutter before Christmas Day? You can make a little extra space for some fantastic Christmas decorations, and the wonderful gifts that we’re sure you’ll receive. Once the festive season is over, you can then take some time to go through the items in your storage unit and decide what you want to keep or get rid of.

Store those summer items

During the winter you won’t be getting much use out of your garden furniture and equipment. But why leave them in an unsafe garden shed that’s subject to temperature changes and could be exposed to water and frost? Poor storage and security for items such as a BBQ, garden tables and chairs, and your trusty lawnmower, could result in damage that cannot be repaired.

Storing your items in a secure and temperature controlled unit will ensure that you won’t need to waste money on expensive new equipment.

Make way for winter wear

Storage units are an absolute lifesaver for fashion lovers out there. Not only can they be a fantastic solution for clothing collections, but they are also a secure solution that will protect against dust and damage. As the winter months get underway, it’s important to go through your wardrobe and clear out any summer clothes that you won’t need for a number of months. But this doesn’t mean you need to throw them out! Package them up, and stack them in a storage unit, ready to come out of hibernation in time for the summer months.

After all, winter clothing takes up so much room, and we could always do with some extra space for cosy jumpers.
