Use Storage Space in E14 for your Arts and Crafts

Are you an avid artist or craft connoisseur? Do you find that you simply don’t have enough space to store all your masterpieces or supplies? You’re not alone. Our affordable storage space in E14 can help with an abundance of arts and crafts equipment. 

Storing Paintings 

Knowing how to properly store paintings in storage space in E14 is crucial to preserve their condition for years to come. In preparation for putting your beloved works of art into storage, they should be cleaned very carefully using a soft, pristine brush or microfiber cloth. If you have any concerns, you should consult an art conservator. 

If your painting is framed, you can use cardboard corners on the edges to protect the structural integrity. If your work is not framed, avoid rolling it up as this can result in creases and paint cracks. Wrap your painting in a sheet of durable, water-resistant material, such as glassine.  

Next, wrap your artwork in blankets or bubble wrap, and use tape to keep the protection attached. Alternatively, you can use a custom size Styrofoam box to prevent damage during transport. Place your art in a plastic bag, one bag per painting, and tie it shut for added protection from the elements. 

It’s best to store your paintings vertically upright as canvases can absorb dampness from the ground otherwise. You should also place them away from direct sunlight as this can cause the colouring to fade.
