How to Maximize Space and Stay Organized with PODS Portable Storage Units During Renovations
Home renovations can be the most thrilling journey to transform your space, but it may get overwhelming really quickly if belongings are strewn across it. Managing clutter, protecting furniture, and keeping the whole workspace organized are important things during these processes to ensure that it does not become too stressful. Luckily,PODS portable storage units are a very flexible, yet convenient solution for managing your home amid such projects.
Why Use PODS Portable Storage Units During Renovations?
Home remodeling inevitably means clearing out the stuff that’s in the way — furniture, knickknacks, clothes, appliances, file cabinets, pretty much everything. But where do you put it all? That’s where PODS portable storage units come in. They give you a convenient way to store personal items outside the house, so they’re out of the way of renovation efforts but safe, nearby, and accessible.
PODS containers excel over other options because they are delivered to your driveway and you are given the time you need to load your items — and can get to them if you need them. You won’t find that flexibility with traditional storage companies.
Clearing Out Rooms for Efficiency
When you plan a remodel, one of the first steps is to clear out the space where the work will be done. Whether you’re updating the kitchen, adding a new bathroom, or building an addition, the fewer contractors have to navigate, the more efficiently they’ll be working.
Maximizing Space with Strategic Packing
Another advantage of using PODS containers is the amount of space available to store your things. The large, roomy container can hold a lot, but how you pack the container will make all the difference in how much room you actually use. Here are ways to make the most of a PODS container’s space capacity:
Disassemble: Take apart your furniture such as tables and bed frames when you can. This will not only save space in your container but allow you to organize smaller items around them.
Use the height: Stack boxes or lightweight furniture upwards to make full use of the space in the container. Remember that heavier objects should be stored at the bottom to avoid damaging fragile items.
Label: Label the outside of each PODS container according to what you packed into it. This way you can easily locate a specific item if you need to remove it from the container before your remodeling project is completed.
Staying Organized Throughout the Renovation Process
Staying organized during a renovation is easy if you do an inventory and label the boxes, even indicating what’s in the box and what room it goes into. Load near the front of your PODS unit those everyday items you’ll want access to quickly. Make maximum use of the height in your PODS by putting shelving in it. Grouping things the same will create more accessible things, thus making for a smoother, more organized renovation.
Protecting Valuables and Fragile Items During Renovations
Fragile items must be covered with bubble paper or foam and placed in strong boxes cushioned with some kind of padding. These ones should be placed on top of the PODS unit on heavier items out of the high-traffic flow in the house to avoid damaging them. The safety of your precious items during renovations should thus begin with careful packing and placement.
The Smart Solution for Home Renovations
Home renovations do not have to mean you deal with clutter and chaos in your home or crowded rooms when renovating. Portable storage units by PODS are a convenient, practical, and flexible solution that keeps your personal belongings safe and out of the way during renovations. It creates some space in your home for the contractors and safeguards your valuables.
