Running out of space at home? Renting a storage unit is a practical solution to keep your belongings safe and organized. Whether you're storing items short-term or long-term, the key to maximizing your unit is smart organization. With a little planning, you can ensure your items are both accessible and protected.


4 Storage Tips to Ensure Easy Access at Lambertville Mini Storage

1. Start with an Inventory List

Before packing, create an inventory of everything you plan to store. A detailed list will save you time and prevent you from forgetting what’s in your unit months or years later.


Pro Tip:

  • Use a spreadsheet or checklist to record items, descriptions, and storage dates.

  • For larger units, sketch a simple map indicating where specific groups of items are located.

  • An organized inventory will make finding your items a breeze when you need them.


2. Choose the Right Packing Materials

Not all packing materials are created equal! Protect your belongings and stay organized by using:

  • Plastic Bins: Transparent bins let you see the contents at a glance, perfect for smaller items.

  • Cardboard Boxes: A cost-effective option. Be sure to label all sides of the box and include the contents in your inventory list.


Pro Tip: Use sturdy boxes or bins to prevent collapsing stacks and ensure long-term durability.


3. Store Bulky Items Strategically

Maximize your space by disassembling large furniture or oversized items. Here's how:

  1. Stand Items Upright: Position large pieces like mattresses or shelves vertically to save floor space.

  2. Stack Smartly: Place heavier boxes or items at the back and bottom of your unit for stability.

  3. Use Vertical Space: Stack securely but leave enough clearance to access your most-used items.


Pro Tip: Mark frequently accessed items on your inventory list and store them near the front of your unit.


4. Label Everything Clearly

Labels are a lifesaver when you need to find something quickly.

  • Use permanent markers or printed labels to identify the contents of each box.

  • Ensure labels face outward (or are on every side) for easy visibility.


Over time, labels will save you from digging through boxes unnecessarily.
