Self Storage + More Space = Less Stress + An Enjoyable Build

Brought to you by Tankar Self Storage Centre.

How flippin’ exciting is renovating or building a new home?!

Designing a place that is goldilocks [just right] for you and your fam bam really is such a great opportunity.  

What’s NOT so dreamy is all the stress of where to put all your stuff whilst everything is up in the air and transitioning. 

Blocked-off rooms and smaller short term rentals are tough enough for a family to manage without the added worry of having half your pantry piled up on the living room couch. 

If you’re having palpitations just thinking of a hallway loaded with boxes upon boxes of family heirlooms or sharing a bathroom with the kids’ toy box then here’s four reasons why self storage will save your space, sanity and ultimately your bank account.

1:: Smaller Space Living

If you’ve decided a home reno is the way to go then more than likely you’ll find yourself living in a smaller space than you’re used to. 

Rooms that are getting upgrades or facelifts often need to be blocked off and everything inside them cleared out so the work can be done without paint splattering and dust settling all over your precious belongings. 

Save yourself the nightmare of trying to squeeze all those things into the remaining space you’re living out of and pop it into self storage instead. 

Do you really want to be dodging a wardrobe in the middle of your kitchen or the dining table at the end of your bed?

Yeaah naaaah!

2:: Storage whilst renting

You may find yourself making use of a rental property while you wait for your renos or new build to be done and that’s great!

One downside though is the downsizing that likely comes with it.

If your rental is a little bit cosier than you’re used to or a scooch smaller than the home you’re building then you may find yourself with a furniture surplus. 

You obvs don’t want to throw out that one-of-a-kind antique coffee table or the writing desk that’s been in your family for generations but you also probably don’t have space for them right now. 

Here is where self storage has your back.

Put them away for safekeeping and when you’re ready for the move they’ll be waiting for you along with all the precious memories they hold.

3:: Protecting all your new shiny and bright items for the build

One of the best things about moving into a new build or even a home reno is getting all the sparkly new things for your home. 

The kids may call us lame but we stand by the fact that it is actually super fun picking out your new washing machine, fridge, fireplace, sofa and even tiles. 

Most of us like to have all these bits and bobs ready before the work is done, especially if we find a good deal at one of our local homeware stores and have to grab it on the spot – we see you and love you End of Financial Year sales! 

But once you’ve got it what do you do with it? 

The garage can only take so much and do you really want to risk the chance of a ding from the kids’ bikes on your beautiful new dryer or a stack of cracked tiles from the car backing in and out?

Skip the hassle and move all that stuff to self storage, keeping it safe, keeping your garage free for what it’s actually meant for [cars believe it or not] and giving you peace of mind that everything will still be like new when the day for the big move arrives.

4:: Short-term solution
