5 Items to Include on Your Self-Storage List When Moving In Nashville

Moving can feel like your juggling different tasks all at the same time, especially when trying to figure out what goes to your new place and what needs temporary storage. Creating a list can help you stay organized, provide the best care for your belongings, and make your move smoother from start to finish.

If your are downsizing, dealing with a lap of time between new homes, or just need extra space during the transition, storage units can help. In this blog, we’ll show you five categories to include on your moving storage list, plus tips for making the most of your storage unit.

1. Seasonal and Holiday Items

One of the main reasons people use storage units during moves is to handle items they are not actively using. Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, summer outdoor furniture, and winter clothes can safely wait in storage while you focus on settling into your new home.

A storage unit is a great place to keep seasonal belongings organized and out of the way during your first few weeks in a new home. You can store holiday decorations, seasonal clothing, outdoor furniture, and sports equipment without cluttering your new space. And because StorPlace Self Storage offers flexible month-to-month leases, you can retrieve items as seasons change without being locked into long-term contracts.

2. Furniture and Large Items You're Unsure About

Moving to a different-sized home means some furniture might not fit or work in your new layout. Sofas, dining tables, bookcases, coffee tables, and extra bedroom sets often need temporary storage while you figure out your new floor plan and decide what stays.

Choosing a climate-controlled storage unit protects wooden furniture, leather pieces, and electronics from humidity and temperature changes. StorPlace Self Storage has clean storage units that help you take your time with decorating decisions without rushing to place furniture that might not work.

3. Documents and Other Valuables

Moving creates chaos, and paperwork can easily get lost in the exchange. Tax records, insurance documents, birth certificates, passports, and family photos need special protection during moving. You do not want to mix them up and accidentally throw them out with something you no longer need. Service-based companies and families alike need secure document storage during transitions.

At StorPlace Self Storage, you can store filing cabinets, documents, important records, and valuable collectibles. Rest easy knowing your items are safe with 24-hour video monitoring and a gated entrance while you handle the stress of moving day.

4. Items for Staged Home Sales or Temporary Housing

Are you selling your home and staying in temporary housing while searching for the perfect place? A storage unit provides a safe place to keep all of your items to prevent them from showing potential buyers, which might hurt your home's appeal or may not fit in a short-term rental.

StorPlace makes it easy to stage your home effectively or live comfortably in temporary housing without feeling cramped. Whether you're maximizing your home's sale potential, waiting for your dream house, or just need flexibility during your housing transition, storage units give you options.

5. Hobby Supplies and Collections

Moving disrupts routines, and hobby supplies, craft materials, book collections, and exercise equipment often get packed away for months. A storage unit lets you keep these personal items organized and accessible when you're ready to set up your hobby space in your new home.

Collections, art supplies, musical instruments, and workshop tools love having a dedicated storage space because it keeps everything organized, protected, and simple to retrieve. Store extra books, seasonal sports gear, and creative supplies off-site to help keep your new home clean and functional while you get settled.
