How to get more
space at home

Is your home starting to feel a little cramped? It is a challenge many people face – whether you live in a flat, terraced house or detached house. Fortunately, there are several simple solutions that can create more space and make your home easier to manage. Here are our best tips on how to make better use of your space and store the things you do not use every day.

In this guide, we cover:

  • How to create more space at home
  • What you can benefit from storing
  • Storing seasonal items
  • Storing furniture and keepsakes
  • Small storage units and lockers
  • The benefits of a storage unit

Go through your home

Start by going through your cupboards, basement, attic, and storage areas. Many people quickly discover they have items stored away that are only used a few times a year.

Ask yourself:

  • Have I used this in the past year?
  • Do I have space for it?
  • Should I keep it or pass it on?

This gives you a clear overview of what is taking up space unnecessarily.

Store seasonal items outside your home

Winter coats, snowsuits, ski clothing, and winter boots take up a lot of space in the wardrobe when summer arrives—and vice versa.

A heated storage unit can work as an extra wardrobe, giving you a place to store seasonal clothing until you need it again. This way, you get more space at home without having to get rid of your clothes.

Store furniture and heirlooms safely

Some things have great sentimental value, even if they are not used every day.

This could be:

  • Heirlooms
  • Extra furniture
  • Photos
  • Children’s keepsakes
  • Collections

A clean, dry, and secure storage unit protects your belongings while giving you more space at home.

Rent a locker for smaller belongings

Do you only have a few items that take up space?

A storage locker is a good solution for:

  • Moving boxes
  • Documents
  • Electronics
  • Sports equipment
  • Small pieces of furniture

At Pelican, we offer lockers of approximately 0.75 m², which are perfect for smaller storage needs.

Create more calm at home

A tidy home often gives you more energy in everyday life.

When everything has its designated place, it becomes easier to:

  • Keep things tidy
  • Clean
  • Find your things
  • Make better use of your home’s square metres

A storage unit can serve as a natural extension of your home.

What can you store?

A storage unit can be used for much more than moving boxes.

Many people choose, among other things, to store:

  • Furniture
  • Clothing
  • Garden furniture
  • Bicycles
  • Sports equipment
  • Prams
  • Moving boxes
  • Children’s equipment
  • Heirlooms

At Pelican, we offer storage units in several sizes, so you only pay for the space you need.

Frequently asked questions about more
space at home

How do I get more space at home?

Start by going through cupboards, the basement, the attic, and storage areas. Sort out the items you rarely use, and consider whether they should be kept, sold, donated, or passed on.

Ask yourself whether you have used the item within the past year, whether you have space for it, and whether it has real value to you. If the answer is no, it may be time to pass it on.

Start where things typically accumulate: in cupboards, in the attic, in the basement, and in storage areas. This quickly gives you an overview of what is taking up space unnecessarily.

Items you do not use very often, but that simply take up space, can be stored in a storage unit. At Pelican Self Storage, you have easy access and can choose a size that fits your needs exactly.
