5 Steps for Moving a Couch into Storage

From late-night snacks to sick days, or binge-watching your favorite show, your couch is with you through it all. Now, you have decided to upgrade the furniture in your home, but aren’t ready to part with your old couch yet. We’ve all been there. If you still intend to use your couch in the future, consider storing it in a storage unit. A storage unit will help to keep your couch in the best condition until you need it next.

Are you looking for tips for moving and storing a couch? Find them here!

Step 1: Clean the couch-

If you’ve ever dug your hands into the couch cushions, you know all of the mystery items you can find in there. Mismatched socks, empty wrappers, crumbs, you name it! Before moving a couch, it is important to give it a thorough cleaning. First, vacuum the couch to suck up any crumbs, dirt, or hair. When vacuuming, make sure you hit under the couch cushions and pillows. Next, the spot cleans the sofa with an upholstery cleaner. Before using an upholstery cleaner on your couch, test it on an inconspicuous area.

Step 2: Break the couch down-

Next, break the couch down into as small of pieces as possible. Remove all cushions and pillows from the couch and plan on moving them separately.

Step 3: Cover the couch-

One of the times the couch is the most prone to damage is when it’s being moved. To keep any dirt or liquids from staining your couch during the move, cover the furniture piece with moving blankets. This will also help to pad the frame of the couch to protect it from bumps or dings.

Step 4: Get help when moving the couch-

The last thing you want during the move is to injure yourself or damage the couch. When moving an item as heavy as a couch, always ask for help. Depending on the size and weight of the couch, as well as the layout of your home, you may need two to three people helping you.

Step 5: Use a climate-controlled storage unit-

When storing a piece of furniture, it is essential to use a climate-controlled storage unit. Over time, fluctuations in temperature can cause the frame of the couch to be permanently damaged as well as age the furniture fabric. To keep your couch in the best condition, always utilize a climate-controlled storage unit.

5 Tips for Organizing Your Self Storage Unit

Renting a self-storage unit is your first step in making more space in your home, garage, or place of business. But to truly get the best use out of this extra space, you need to organize it efficiently. Here are five tips on how to stretch the space in your self-storage unit.

Start at the Beginning

As you’re packing up your boxes before moving them to your storage unit, be sure that you fill them. To keep them from becoming too heavy, pack them with a mixture of light and heavy items, such as books or glassware combined with draperies, cloth, or pillows. It’s also helpful if you can use boxes that are all the same size. This will make it easier to stack them and keep your boxes organized. 

Label, Label, Label

There are one of two ways you can go about this. Either write the entire contents of each box on its side. Or put a number on each box and write its content on a list. Then, as you fill your storage unit, keep the boxes in order. This way, when you need a specific item, you can locate it on your list and then know right where to go in your storage unit.

Make It Accessible

Once you’ve done all that careful labeling and begin to stack your boxes in your storage unit, be sure to build a walkway by leaving a couple of feet between each row of boxes. This way, when you do need to get something from a box you can easily locate it without having to move a ton of stuff.

Don’t Waste Any Space

Remember that the floor of your self-storage unit isn’t the only place to store things. Use bungees and hooks to hang items from the walls and/or ceiling of your unit. All of the space between those walls is yours to use, so get creative and utilize every inch.

Pack Strategically

Finally, remember that no matter how well you label your boxes and organize your unit, the items closest to the door are always going to be the easiest to access. You should put anything you are fairly certain you will need shortly in front.

Creative ways to use self storage

Emergency Cache  

To start with, you can store food and other items there to retrieve as needed and avoid taking up precious space in your Garage or home . In fact, key to successful emergency planning is storing items in different places so you can access them even if you can’t get home, and a storage unit is a great choice.

The city of paramus nj, has another ingenious suggestion for storage. It encourages residents of the beachside town, which is located in a tsunami zone, to rent space and leave it empty and available to drop off items from their house if they need to flee.

Art Gallery

Fridge and walls full at home? Finding a place to store your child’s artwork for posterity – you know, just in case he becomes the next Monet — is a great use of storage space.

But Derek Donnelly, an artist in Miami, has elevated storage containers to an “art form,” you might say, using them as an art gallery space in the arts district of Pinellas Park. The gallery is created from three containers that include a studio space, while other containers serve as his apartment.

Maker Space

Why not turn storage space into a make-shift workshop? Ben R., a chef in bergen county NJ Self Storage has a side hustle upcycling antiques and furniture to sell online. His storage space offers the perfect location for sanding, painting and refurbishing the furniture. Having a separate space disconnected from his home has helped him turn enough of a profit that he is planning an upcoming trip to Rosedale park NJ, Fair lawn NJ, or even Rutherford NJ.

To sum things up these are things you can do with the your storage unit, don’t forget to ask company before what their policy’s are.

  1. Office Space. Even small, at home businesses can benefit from a dedicated office or space to do work. …
  2. Art Studio. Art projects tend to get a bit messy during the creative process. …
  3. Personal Gym. …

How to Organize a Small room on a Budget

If you’re trying to figure out how to organize a small bedroom on a budget, these 12 ingenious tips and tricks will get you there in no time!

I like to have lots of baskets and shelves so that’s what I mostly added to my closet as that helped me coral my shoes, bags and dozens of pairs of jeans.

As “custom” closet solutions go, these IKEA systems are pretty cheap too. You can add as much or as little as you need and completely tailor whether you have a small or large bedroom closet, or small or large budget!

Organize your drawers with dividers

Fold your clothes vertically to maximize drawer space

Think outside of the box for nightstands and bedside lighting

Utilize the space under your bed

Utilize the space behind your door

Add shelves to the walls – when you don’t have floor space, think vertical!

Use baskets

Install a closet organization System

DIY additional closet shelving

Use felt hangers

If you don’t have a closet, make one

Think outside the box

I’ve never had the luxury of having a huge bedroom and even now, despite the 2,800 sq. ft home we live in, our master bedroom is on the small side and definitely lacking in the organizational department.

Of course, just because your Storage room is small, doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of space to utilize in order to get organized. Sometimes you have to get a little creative and even more so when you need to do it on a budget. If you’re starting from scratch with a bedroom makeover, definitely take all of these storage ideas into consideration, too!

Don’t forget to sing and enjoy while packing your boxes!!

1. You cannot enter any units or touch anything until you pay for it.

2. We charge a cash cleanout deposit (so come prepared) – refundable once the unit is empty.

Self Storage is synonyms with Storage Wars

Storage Wars on A&E
Big money can be made if you are willing to take the risk!

You’re not going to believe some of the biggest payouts in Storage Wars history. There have been some tremendous hits on what seemed like junk but turned out to be an incredible find! Storage Wars always seemed like a gamble but when you find out the value of some of these collections all locked up, you’ll understand why people take such chances on what often looks like junk. And before you go screaming Storage Wars is fake, or Storage Wars is staged, or Nobody watches Storage Wars, when you see the values here you might just become a believer.

Darrell Sheets was known as the gambler on Storage Wars – always taking a shot at something for a big payday. Sheets hit the bigtime when he discovered original paintings by surrealist Frank Gutierrez in a storage container that he picked up for $3600. That might have seemed steep at the time, but it turned out that the Gutierrez originals were worth a whopping $300,000. Good thing Darrell found it and not Barry Weiss – Barry never sells anything!

Darrell also scored a major hit when in season 5 he came across what seemed to be a storage unit full of toys. But it turned out that they weren’t just any toys – it was vintage toys still in their containers and a load of comic books. All told, the unit contained over 3000 comic books and enough collectible classics to be worth over $60,000. That’s a lot of loot for some toys!
