How storage in London can support your family

Growing your family is one of life’s most precious and exciting moments. However, it can often feel overwhelming and stressful at times, especially if you’re lacking in space. This is where our storage in London facility can help! This week, we discuss the reasons why you may want to use self-storage to support your growing family. 

Welcoming a new baby 

If you’re expecting, it may be worth looking into utilising storage in London to make room for your new baby sooner rather than later. Maybe you already have a mini-you about to start toddling around the house? Any furniture or belongings that may be unsafe for young children, or that could easily be damaged should be stored away out of reach and harm's way. 

In addition, you may be planning on adapting one of your rooms into a nursery for your new little person. After all, babies require a lot more space than you’d expect! Cots, changers, prams, highchairs and toys, all take up a lot of capacity. This is why you may want to declutter and put any unnecessary items into self-storage units to free up that much-needed space. 

Hand-me-downs 

As children get older, we often pass down their clothes and toys to their younger siblings or cousins. Re-using these items is an effective way to both save money, as well as benefit the environment. However, there does reach a point when storing hand-me-downs can become too much. If you’re starting to struggle with holding a lot of items, why not store some of them away in our containers in East London? 

Keeping memories  

Do you really want to throw away their swimming certificates or first drawings of the family that they made in nursery? Probably not – they're treasured memories that would be lovely to look back on in the future. Our storage in London facility is the perfect place to keep those memories safe and secure, thanks to our in-house security team and 24-hour CCTV system. 

Hobbies and activities 

Children love spending time on various creative and fun activities, such as arts and crafts or football. Unfortunately, some of their favourite interests can take up a lot of space! As we head into spring, why not put away the indoor equipment you’re no longer using and get ready for those outdoor pastimes in the sun? Storage units are perfect to transition those hobbies between seasons and store what’s not being used.  

It’s also no secret that kids are always jumping from one activity to another; having the option to pop the equipment into storage allows you ease of access for whenever they lose or take up interest again! 

Cost effective storage in London 

One of the main reasons for using self-storage with a growing family is how cost effective it is. At Store That, our affordable prices mean that you can continue to enjoy the benefits of our services, despite your extra spending on nappies!  

Furthermore, it costs a lot of money to upsize your house to make room for an extra family member. With the price of houses increasing by a reported 18% per square metre, upsizing doesn’t make sense when you can rent an affordable self-storage unit to gain that much-needed extra space.
