Maximizing Space: Effective Storage Preparations

Moving or planning to store your belongings can be a daunting task, but with strategic planning, it doesn't have to be. Our team at One Big Man & One Big Truck Moving is equipped with the expertise and tools to make your move or storage experience as smooth as possible. In this article, we're sharing tips on how you can maximize space during storage preparations.

Declutter First

Before anything else, declutter your space. Identify what you truly need and what can be discarded or donated. This not only reduces the amount of stuff you need to pack but also gives you a fresh start in your new location.

Use the Right Boxes

Choosing the right size boxes is essential in maximizing space. Smaller boxes are ideal for heavier items like books or kitchenware, while larger ones are best for lightweight items like bedding and clothes. Remember, well-packed boxes are easier to stack, saving you space.

Effective Packing

Packing smartly can save you an incredible amount of space. For instance, using clothing or towels as padding for fragile items reduces the need for bubble wrap or packing peanuts. Remember to fill boxes to the brim to prevent them from collapsing when stacked.

Disassemble Furniture

One significant space saver is disassembling furniture. It's easier to fit a flat tabletop into a truck or storage unit than an entire dining table. At One Big Man & One Big Truck Moving, we provide furniture disassembly and reassembly service to ensure your furniture is handled with care and professionalism.

Utilize All Spaces

Ensure you utilize all available spaces when packing. Fill your dressers, wardrobes, and suitcases with clothes or other small items. Using these spaces effectively helps you reduce the number of boxes you'll need.

Stack Strategically

It's not just about filling the space, but how you fill it. Place heavier boxes at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Ensure boxes are securely stacked to avoid toppling over and causing damage.

Consider a Storage Unit

If you have items that won't fit in your new place or things you don't need immediately, consider renting a storage unit. One Big Man & One Big Truck Moving offers Storage Moves service, where we help prepare and place your items into storage.
