It is at this time of year that homeowners like to participate in some DIY to freshen up their homes or increase the value of their properties.

Us Brits love our DIY and spend an average of £34,000 renovating our homes with 47% taking on the challenge at some point. From decorating to home renovations, it is rarely without its challenges but they can be a great opportunity to maximise the space in your home.

Keepsafe Self-Storage knows about these challenges and is here to lighten the burden during this stressful time. Our tips will help you get started on your DIY project and create a clear, safe environment that will make the job easier overtime.

Challenges of Home Renovations

Renovation projects can create clutter and mess, making it difficult to move around and work efficiently. That's why it is always a good idea to declutter your home and get rid of anything you no longer use or want before you start.

This alone is no easy task as often we have items we cannot bear to part with, but decluttering your workspace prior to starting will pay off in the long run. Taking the extra time to consider where you will store furniture and other items that might cause an obstruction should be a priority. 

The extra space will help you assess what work needs done and the lengths you may need to go to achieve your goal. Clearing your workspace also helps speed things up too, whilst making sure you don’t damage your prized possessions.

This is where self-storage helps you maximise your space, letting you remove furniture that may get in your way whilst working on your DIY project. Taking advantage of our storage solutions also reduces the chance of damage or breakages. 

Benefits of Using Self-Storage

Keepsafe Storage is here to help you store your valued possessions so you can create more space so you can focus on the task in-hand. For those planning renovations that may take months, self-storage gives you the freedom to access your belongings or add additional items along the way.

Once your possessions are safely in self-storage, the space is yours for as long (or short) a time as you need. With flexible storage unit contracts, you can even change to a different sized storage unit if you need to.

It also gives you the option to store materials and supplies so they are not taking up space at home. This is also a great opportunity to buy in bulk helping you save money. Receiving supplies in bulk also saves you time waiting for deliveries of stock along the way.

Self-storage can be seen as an extension of the home, free from mess and the pain of renovation. This will take a huge deal of stress out of the situation, especially if living at home during renovations.

Another benefit is that there is no rush to move your belongings back into your newly renovated home. Self-storage lets you take time getting your home just right and clean from the effects of renovations. 

Finally Self-storage is a great way to lose what you don't use, letting you reintroduce only things that you really need back into the home. When it's time to give up your self-storage unit you can decide what items don’t quite work in your newly renovated home, then decide whether it’s time to say goodbye or even sell it.
