5 common storage challenges and how to deal with them

If you're struggling with storage space in your home or apartment, we are here to provide you with some solutions. Do you have a habit of going on shopping sprees and cluttering your house? Not to worry...we have a few little hacks to make your life a bit easier. If you incorporate them into your weekly routines, your home will look clean, organized, and clutter-free in no time.

1. Cluttered spaces

2. Odd-shaped rooms

Other times, the problem is that the shape of the room is just a little too strange. This can often limit the number of items that can fit in some parts of the room. A simple rectangular room can simply store a lot of things in the corners, but a spherical, hexagonal, or even trapezoidal room may be a problem. The easiest solution to this problem is to get a good designer. Once you make custom furniture and storage units, you will be amazed at how many things can fit together in some strange ways.

3. Storing things in random places

Understandably, everybody delays things randomly around the house on occasion. People are used to living at a fast pace and we often leave the house in a hurry. Once you have all your things organized, try your best to keep them that way and store them in their place. If you are going to move some stuff around, please do so intentionally. The more coordinated your things are, the more space you will have. Storing your clothes in the kitchen and shoes in the hallway will only reduce the amount of free space available. Maintain your things in some type of order at all times.

4. The "junk drawer"

When we talk about storage challenges and how to deal with them, one of the first things that pop into our heads is our messy little drawer. Most households have at least one of these. But if one turns into several it may cause problems. We often stuff some small items in these drawers and let's be honest, half of them, you don't even need. Little items like this are hard to find when they're just dumped into a small space. Tidy up your messy junk drawer and get organizing bins or boxes for small items. Divine Moving and Storage have moving supplies NYC for every relocation, of all shapes and sizes.

5. Holiday and birthday decorations

For something that will only get used once a year, holiday items and birthday decorations cause a huge headache when it comes to storage options. Store your Christmas tree ornaments in an egg carton. They are stackable, they save space, and most importantly they will keep your ornaments protected. Fairy lights are also a nuisance in most households. To prevent them from becoming a mess, wrap your fairy lights around a piece of flat cardboard.

The Challenge: Lack of Space

We’ve all likely faced the challenge of lack of space at one time or another. Whether it's due to downsizing, temporary living situations, or simply too many belongings, the solution is simple: external storage. With a range of storage unit sizes, Divine Moving and Storage offers the extra space you need to ensure your items are safely and securely stored.

The Challenge: Overflow of Belongings

During a move, it is common for there to be an overflow of items that simply cannot fit in your new location right away. Instead of letting this overwhelm you, consider using overflow storage solutions. Divine Moving and Storage provides efficient and reliable overflow storage to accommodate your extra items during your move.

The Challenge: Business Storage

Storing business goods can prove tricky due to the volume and often sensitive nature of the items. The comprehensive business storage solutions from Divine Moving and Storage are the answers to this challenge. We cater to businesses that require secure and accessible storage for high volumes of goods or specialized items.

The Challenge: Managing Inventory

Keeping track of what’s in your storage can be daunting, especially with large volumes. With the Divine Moving and Storage photo inventory service, you have a visual documentation of all your stored items. This service adds an additional level of security and management, ensuring you have a record of all belongings.

The Challenge: Packing and Unpacking

Moving involves not just storing, but also packing and unpacking of your belongings. The Divine Moving and Storage team eliminates this challenge by offering professional packing and unpacking services. Let our experienced team handle your move smoothly and efficiently.

Storing items, whether personal or business-related, can come with its own set of challenges. Here’s how to tackle some of the most common issues:

1. Limited Space

Solution: Maximize vertical storage by stacking boxes and investing in shelving units. Opt for offsite storage solutions like Divine Moving’s spacious, climate-controlled storage rooms.

2. Storing Fragile or Sensitive Items

Solution: Use proper packaging materials like bubble wrap and padded boxes. Choose climate-controlled storage to protect sensitive items from extreme temperatures.

3. Document Storage

Solution: Organize documents in labeled boxes or filing cabinets, and store them in a facility that offers affordable, long-term options like Divine Moving’s $1.55 per box storage for business documents.

4. Heavy or Large Equipment

Solution: Disassemble bulky items if possible and store them in large, secure rooms. Divine Moving offers large storage rooms that accommodate oversized equipment, ensuring your items stay safe and accessible. By addressing these challenges strategically, you can ensure your storage process is smooth and stress-free!
