Making Way For 2021: How Our Storage Units in Canary Wharf Can Get You January Ready

It’s the first week of January and at Store That, we’re enjoying the fresh start that 2021 has dealt us all. A new year gives everyone a chance to start from scratch and of course, set themselves some new year’s resolutions.

Whatever your personal goals are this year, a clear space results in a clear mind and will help you to better achieve your goals. Here we discuss how we can help you break in the new year and stick to those resolutions!

Packing Up The Festivities

The last of the Christmas lights can officially come down this week, so it’s time to start thinking about packing them away until next year. When it comes to putting the decorations up, it’s funny how those lights have somehow tangled themselves up into little knots and half of the baubles have gone missing… hands up if this happens to you every Christmas? 

When taking your decs down, don’t bundle them into a couple of bags and hope for the best for next December! Pack them up neatly into sections and box them securely. We always recommend using a thorough labelling system, so that you know exactly where everything is; you’ll be grateful for it next year.

This January, pack away over a couple of days. It'll stop you feeling overwhelmed and you have peace of mind that your decorations will be safe and organised next year.

Store As You Go

As soon as it’s boxed, transfer your festive ornaments to storage right away. If you’re short on space, taking on a personal self storage unit for your Christmas decorations can be a practical and cost effective way to keep your home clutter free throughout the year. Store That offers lots of different sized units at our secure self-storage facility in E14. All of our units are weatherproof, with insulated roofs to protect against condensation. Our drive-up units in Canary Wharf have a raised concrete base to protect from flooding; so you can rest assured your tree will be just as merry next year. Keep in mind that moving the boxes into storage as you go will speed up the decluttering process with minimal effort on your part.

Free Up Space For Change

If 2020 taught us something, it’s to do things now. We’ve all learnt the important lesson of not to hang about! If you’ve been putting off the painting and decorating for the last couple of months, now is the time to do it! The weather is cold out there and you’ll be so glad you took the plunge in January, when it’s glorious sunshine come the spring! 

We have the facilities to accommodate whatever you need to store, making the process easier for you. In fact, our largest sea container storage boasts 155sqft of space for you to use! Our secure storage in E14 will also allow for you to make the most of some home bargains in the January sales. Win win!


They say start as you mean to go on. Storage doesn’t just have to be for January, it can be a cost-effective and worthy investment for the year. If you’re interested in how our storage units in Canary Wharf can get you ready for 2021, Contact us or call on 0207 5151 300 for more information.
