Let’s take a look at mini storage units, without making it seem like we’re going to space or finding a whole new continent. But it’s not just brilliant storage that can be interesting.

Imagine what your home looks like right now. You might be like me – there is stuff everywhere. Where are all these things from? I mean, where did all these things come from? Not to mention that closet. These mini storage units will be the heroes you didn’t realize you needed.

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to pick a mini storage, but there are certain things you should keep in mind. The size is important – you don’t want to rent an entire room when all that is needed is a cubbyhole. But have you ever thought about climate controls? If you want to store your grandma’s old pictures or your comic book collections, make sure that they are not exposed to excessive humidity.

Security is another major issue. It’s important that you can find your things when you go back to retrieve them. Search for locations with strong locks and perhaps some cameras. This is similar to storing your valuables in Fort Knox, without the gold.

It’s important to consider the location. If you think you can save a few bucks by renting a house in the middle-of-nowhere, you may be surprised to learn that it takes an hour to get there every time you go camping or need holiday decorations. Do you want to spend a little bit more on gas or time in order to save money? Priceless.

Here’s the fun part: get creative with your unit. Who said it had to be for storage? It’s been reported that some people use theirs as mini-gyms, art studios or even space for band practice. (Though I’m sure the neighbors love this). You can make your space more efficient by thinking outside the box.

Beware not to turn it into a blackhole where everything goes to die. Take a look at what you have in your unit from time to time. Do I really want three fondue set? Probability is that you don’t. To keep your life in order, you need to use what you already have.

Let’s chat about cash. Renting this bad boy may seem like an additional bill. However, compared to having to deal with clutter all day long or renting larger apartments for extra closet space, it is a more sensible financial decision.

This is my last piece of advice: Keeping things close to you doesn’t have to mean all the time. It’s okay to give your kids their own home away from the house. This allows you to live more comfortably in your own space.

Mini storage units can be a lifesaver. They allow us to live comfortably while keeping our valuables secure and out of sight. The only thing better would be if they organized themselves… A girl could dream!

The short answer is: eco-friendly buildings? It’s not about good vibes. Eco-friendly living is smart. Kinda makes you hug a few trees, doesn’t if? In the same way, eco-friendly homes do not happen overnight. The best legacy we can leave is a home that’s sustainable. Cheers!
