When do you need furniture storage?

In many situations, furniture storage can make your life easier.

  • If you’re moving house and there is a gap between selling and moving into your new home.
  • If you are downsizing and some of your furniture no longer fits into your new, smaller home.
  • If you are renovating or redecorating your home, keeping furniture safe and out of the way in storage means the work can be done faster.
  • If you simply want to declutter or free up space around the house.
  • If you want to rent your house out while you’re abroad and you wish to keep your furniture clean and safe for when you return.

Step 4. Prep your furniture for storage

Whether you are planning to store your furniture for just a few months or for a longer period, packing up your furniture correctly is essential for preserving its condition.

  • Clean your furniture
    This is important to keep your furniture in pristine condition while it’s packed away. Make sure your furniture is free of damp, mold and debris before packing up.
  • Make your furniture less bulky
    Many furniture items can be made smaller, such as bed frames, bookcases, wardrobes or tables. This will make them easier to transport and helps maximise the space in your storage unit. Make sure to put screws and small parts into a bag and tape it to the item so you can find them back when needed.
  • Protect your furniture
    Cover and pad furniture with protective materials to keep them in good condition during the moving process and while in storage. Remove cushions from the sofa and wrap or place them in plastic bags.

Step 5. Move into your storage unit

If you haven’t signed your contract online, you can complete your rental contract in the store. Our store manager will fill in the contract with you, show you the unit and answer any questions you may have.

This will take about 15-30 minutes, so make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes before closing time.

How much does furniture storage cost?

The price you will pay for storing your furniture depends on a number of factors:

  • The storage unit size you need
    Prices for larger units are usually higher, so it’s important to find a storage unit that matches your needs. We have storage unit sizes up to 30 m². Typically the larger the storage unit, the cheaper the square foot.
  • The location of your storage facility
    The closer you are to city centre, the higher furniture storage prices will be. If you don’t need regular access to your unit, it’s worth considering a location further away from the city centre for cheaper storage prices.
  • The replacement value of your stored items
    Most storage providers will require you to take out a goods coverage policy for your furniture whilst in storage. The cost of goods coverage will depend on the replacement value of your stored furniture.
