Our Top Tips
Whether itās at home or in your workplace, having an organised storage space where every last inch of space is used to its full potential is so helpful. As a leading storage company, we know what goes into a practical storage space. Here are some of our top tips, from using long-span shelving to regularly decluttering.
Assess Your Storage Needs
Before you do anything else, set aside some time to take stock of what you need to store. Categorising your items is a great way to start – we love to do this using size or frequency of use. Doing this will help you decide on the best storage solutions for your needs. This is also a great time to get rid of anything that you donāt need.
Create a Storage Zone
A designated storage area can help keep clutter at bay, and you can establish zones for different storage needs. For example, a garage is a great area for tools and bulkier items, while an office storage area is a natural fit for things like filing cabinets and supply cupboards. Once you have settled on a storage area, make sure that everyone else knows where it is and what is kept there.
Use Vertical Space
One of the biggest storage mistakes people make is not making the most of their vertical space. Hanging racks are a great option for kitchens and garages and can be used to store everything from pots and pans to tools. Overhead storage is a good choice for rarely used items, such as Christmas decorations and lights. By making the most of your walls and ceilings, you can free up valuable floor space!
Invest in Longspan Shelving
When it comes to shelving, longspan is a great choice for those looking to maximise vertical storage. Our industrial long-span shelving is very durable and can hold an impressive amount of weight. So, whatever you are looking to store, you can be sure that it will rise to the challenge. This type of shelving is popular with our customers who are kitting out spaces like garages, storerooms, and warehouses.
Stackable Storage
Stackable storage bins and boxes are a great way to keep similar items together while saving space. Clear bins are particularly useful for quickly identifying contents, while labelled boxes ensure everything is easy to find. We have a huge range of storage boxes and bins for you to take your pick from – and you could even stack them on your new shelving for easy access.
Regularly Declutter
Your storage needs can change over time, so itās important to reassess the space regularly. Some people find it easy to schedule a decluttering every few months, and this is a really great way to ensure that youāre not accumulating unnecessary items.
