5 Unique Uses for Self-Storage You Haven’t Thought Of

Do you believe self-storage is only for furniture, boxes, and other household items? Believe again! These unique spaces can accommodate a multitude of situations—beyond the typical. Here are five unexpected uses for self-storage units.

  1. Art Studios Creating art requires space, and renting a studio can be cost-prohibitive for many artists. For the painter, the sculptor, or the photographer who needs a quiet, out-of-the-way locale to work on their projects, a storage unit can serve as an inexpensive alternative to the traditional art studio.
  2. Fitness Rooms Storage opportunities may not afford ample space for gym equipment, but a storage unit can serve as the perfect makeshift personal gym. Just be certain that the storage facility allows this kind of use (not all do) and gives you access to the gym during the times you want to work out.
  3. Business Inventory Inventory and supplies can be stored in storage units by e-commerce sellers and small businesses. Even delicate items such as cosmetics or electronics can be kept in good condition because climate-controlled units are available.
  4. Hobby Storage Whether it’s camping equipment or guitars, hobbies often demand space that’s hard to come by in most homes. A storage unit can keep all your easily accessible hobby-related items neatly organized and in one place instead of interspersed throughout your living space.
  5. Event Staging Storage units serve as an excellent way for wedding planners and event organizers to keep their things neat and tidy. For those in the business of making special occasions momentous and memorable, there isn't much time for untidiness. Using a storage unit, organizers can keep not only large items, but also an organized inventory of the smaller supplies that make up any great event. Self-storage can become a versatile extension of your home or business with a little bit of creativity. You might think it's just a place to stash your things. But with some planning, it can work for you in a lot of different ways.
