The Best Ways to Maximise Your Storage Space

By November 27, 2025No Comments

When it comes to maximising storage space, hiring a storage unit is a great way to keep your belongings safe and secure. However, they can soon become cluttered and disorganised if you don’t plan ahead.

At Gilmorton Storage, this month’s blog looks at the best ways for maximising your storage space. For information about our storage units, call us in Leicester on 07815 013 883.

Declutter

Gilmorton Storage Ltd

The first step in maximising your storage space is to declutter. This process involves taking a critical look at all the items you plan to store and determining if they are worth keeping.

Get rid of items that you no longer need or use. This will not only free up space but also make it easier to organise your storage unit.

Use Shelving

Gilmorton Storage Ltd

Shelving is a great way to make the most of your storage space. Consider installing freestanding or wall-mounted shelves to create additional vertical storage space.

This can help you keep your belongings organised and make it easier to find what you need.

Invest in Sturdy Boxes & Containers

Investing in sturdy boxes and containers can help you make the most of your storage space. Look for containers that are stackable and have tight-fitting lids to help protect your belongings from dust and moisture. Clear plastic containers can also make it easier to find what you need.

Use A Labelling System

Labelling your storage containers and shelves can make it easier to find what you need quickly. Use a label maker or simply use sticky notes to label everything. This can save you time and help you stay organised.

Create an Inventory List

It is essential to create an inventory list of all the items you have stored in the unit. This will help you keep track of your belongings and make it easier to find what you need. You can even create a map of your storage unit and mark where each item is located.
