If you’re getting ready to welcome a new arrival, you probably have a long list of tasks you want to achieve before your baby’s due date.
Getting your home ready for a newborn can seem a momentous task for many expectant parents. But investing in self storage is a simple and effective way of creating space for the newest member of your family.
Self Store at Andrew Porter Ltd offers an affordable and secure storage solution for items of all shapes and sizes. There are a range of units at our purpose-built self storage warehouse in Adlington, Lancashire and we offer help loading and unloading your belongings along with free van hire, 24-hour CCTV, convenient online booking and a café on site with complimentary tea and coffee.
And don’t worry if you’re not sure how long you need to put your items in storage for as you only need to give us one week’s notice if you decide you no longer require your unit.
Here are three key ways Self Store can help you get ready for your new baby:
1. Clear out your spare room for a nursery
If your spare room is being used for something else, the idea of turning it into a nursery can be a daunting one. Whether you currently use your spare room as an office, a home gym, a guest bedroom or just somewhere to hide away your clutter, putting all your items into storage will give you a blank canvas so you can get started on creating the perfect nursery for your little one. And once you’ve had chance to get the decorating done, you then have time to work out what you want to do with the items in storage and work out how you can incorporate them into the rest of your home.
2. Babyproof your home
If you’re expecting your first child, then there are probably quite a few items in your home that aren’t exactly baby or toddler-friendly. If you have delicate valuables or belongings which you’d rather keep away from little hands, you could put them into storage. Whether you plan to incorporate them back into your home when your little one is older or you decide to sell or give them to someone else, self storage will give you the chance to work out want you want to do with your stuff so you don’t rush into a decision you might regret.
3. Declutter your property
Babies are small but the equipment, toys and clothes you will buy for them will quickly take over your home. It’s a good idea to have a good clear out before your newborn arrives but if you don’t have the time to go through all your belongings before the big day, self storage could be the answer. Empty some of your cupboards into boxes and put them into storage to give you space to accommodate the things you need for your new baby. Then set yourself the task of going through each box one at a time to work out what you can’t live without and what is just clutter taking up valuable space in your home.
