Sometimes in life, you just need more space. Whether you are downsizing or planning an upcoming move, a Boise storage unit is the perfect solution for every situation. That’s why Lockaway Storage would like to provide you with the following tips for choosing the right sized unit and how to maximize your storage space.

Find The Right Sized Storage Unit

How do you find the right sized unit for your belongings? It’s not as hard as you may think. First, take inventory of all the things you are planning to store and take into account any items you may want to add later. Then, estimate the number of how many boxes you have and their size along with any irregular-shaped items you will be storing. Will you need additional space to walk around to access certain items as you need them? Or will you be organizing from back to front? All of these details are important for factoring in the right size storage you need. However, Lockaway Storage has made it even simpler by providing you with our easy, online storage guide where you can explore our recommended storage options with helpful size comparisons.  

Maximizing Your Storage Space

Maximizing your storage space will allow you to make the most out of your money while creating an efficient, streamlined experience from the start. Our #1 tip for maximizing is to make a storage map. Once you’ve decided on the storage size, take the time to make a list of your items and sketch out a storage map of where things will be placed. You’ll also want to label all your boxes of their contents and place a copy of your storage map inside your unit for easy reference.  

Boise Storage

Last but not least, there are a few additional things you can do to keep order inside your Boise storage unit. Start by sorting all the boxes you will need frequent access to, and make sure they are placed near the front of your unit. As you start filling up your storage space, place all the heavy items at the bottom to avoid uneven stacks that can damage your belongings. Furthermore, you’ll want to create a small walkway within your unit for easy navigation.
