How much table space can one family share with a Thanksgiving turkey? Will everyone fit under the same roof? Take charge of the holidays this year by making sure you have room to spare. Even the smallest home in Hollis, NY can handle Turkey Day festivities with a little help from nearby self storage.

Start Planning Early 

It's a family celebration, so let family help with the planning. Ask for firm RSVPs, and use that headcount to figure out how much space and food you'll need. Follow up with a request to check storage units for extras like chairs, plates, and serving dishes. If they can bring it, you can scratch it off your must-find list. 

Give Everyone Room

Get ready for a full house by reorganizing the home front. Guests need to hang up coats, so clear clutter out of closets. Give everyone room to mingle by moving small furniture pieces to self storage. Expand your space with a climate-controlled unit that holds everything while you hold down the fort.

Make Space in the Kitchen

Inventory kitchen essentials like pots, pans, and serving dishes. If you don't plan on using it, move it to a lower cabinet. Use spaces below countertops as temporary storage units so that you can easily reach the things you really need. This frees up room in upper cabinets for extra plates and glassware too.

Share Smiles at the Table

Let family enjoy being together without talking over the Thanksgiving turkey. Set up a self-service buffet for your main course and sides. Turn this same space-saving idea into a separate beverage station, and be sure to keep dining table decorations low-profile. You want everyone to see and share holiday smiles and conversations.

Get Ahead of Next Year 

Swap out the small furniture you temporarily moved to storage with Thanksgiving pots, pans, and dishes. Box up Turkey Day decorations, tablecloths, and placemats, and give them a climate-controlled home away from home. Congratulate yourself for getting ahead of next year. It's time to indulge in a holiday break with a well-deserved nap. 

Share a Storage a Tradition 

Once you make storage units a part of Thanksgiving, it's hard to imagine celebrating without them. You can share all that spare square footage, too. From Hollis, NY to our other locations around the New York City metro, Safeguard has space for everything from everyone on your guest list. Make shared self storage your family's newest and roomiest holiday tradition.

You know you're not alone. Almost everyone deals with a breakup sooner or later. You may still feel alone, but that's okay. Now, you can start transitioning back to the glorious independence of a single life. It's actually a very good place to be in Hialeah, FL. Here’s how self storage can help you get there.

Conquer Your Space 

If you're staying in the old place, make it all yours. If you're moving out, make the unfamiliar comfortable with old stuff. Wherever you settle, conquer your space with strategies for a fresh start. 

• Look for nearby storage units, and lease extra room just for you.
• Rearrange everything from furniture to kitchen cabinets.
• As you reorganize, dedicated a few minutes each day to decluttering.
• Use your unit for stashing items destined for donation or a garage sale.
• Deep clean where you've never cleaned before even if the place is new.

Celebrate Your Clean Slate

Congratulate yourself on turning a blank canvas into a new life. Step back, and enjoy it. Don't let sentimental attachments get in the way. If you're still hanging onto things you bought with the ex, move them to self storage. 

Every inch of space belongs to you now. Take up both sides of the closet and the bed. Fill up shelves with new things bought just for the new place. Ask friends to raid their storage units for leftover breakup belongings. Pool everything together, donate it all to local organizations, and throw a party celebrating everyone's clean slates.

Embrace Your Independence 

Almost everyone feels down after a breakup, but that feeling will pass. You're ready to bounce back and make a new life that's entirely yours. With several self storage facilities across Miami including our Hialeah, FL location, Safeguard salutes your new independence. Embrace it because – with the help of storage – you know you're going to love it.

When the busy season winds down, you need to park equipment and supplies. Your construction business doesn't fit in the garage anymore, and you're still working on several offseason jobs. Solve these space and access problems with affordable self storage in Lyons, IL and throughout the Chicago metropolitan area.

Slow Down and Take Stock 

Now is the time to put downtime to good use. As the schedule eases up, scout different types of storage units in your area. Small units work for tool and supply storage, while drive-up units are great for unloading heavy equipment.

You can lease secure facility parking for company trucks, vans, and forklifts. Everything stays centrally located, and you don't have to worry about theft or vandalism back at the job site. When you're between projects, tools and equipment are always in one place for inventory, inspection, and repair.

Organize and Stock Up 

A climate-controlled storage unit keeps tools and equipment insulated from freezing Chicago weather. It also keeps you comfortable as you organize everything for quick access. Labeled plastic bins make it easier to retrieve multiple toolsets, while wood pallets and shelves keep supplies within easy reach. 

Take advantage of offseason pricing on some of those supplies. Save money now with bulk buying strategies that put you ahead of the next quarter's budget. You have plenty of room in an affordable storage unit that leases for a fraction of the cost of warehouse space. 

Relax and Enjoy Self Storage Benefits 

Saving money always counts, but self storage also adds value to your construction business and gives you a competitive edge. 

• Tools and equipment stay in top condition and ready to go.
• High-tech, on-site security systems give you peace of mind.
• You don't have to schedule around equipment pick-up from multiple locations, as it’s all in one place.
• You can order supplies and have them delivered to your storage facility.
• Online tools like account management and our unit size calculator save valuable time.
• Flexible leasing options let you expand and downsize according to the season.

Build Your Success Year-Round

Every offseason is an opportunity to catch your breath and make plans for the future. As your construction company continues to build on its success, let Safeguard help expand your capabilities. With accessible storage units in Lyons, IL and locations all across Chicagoland, we're uniquely positioned to help your business grow year round.

When you consider leasing storage units here in Metairie, LA, you have more choices than you might realize. Our outdoor facilities are fenced in and home to some very smart storage options. We can think of at least seven benefits to enjoy with outdoor access to your unit. 

1. Easy Ins and Outs 

Pull in, park in front of your unit, and load or unload. It's that simple with outdoor self storage. Your space is always easy to access, which saves time whether you're in the middle of a move or storing away seasonal stuff. 

2. Facility-Wide Security 

You and your belongings deserve high-tech, site-wide security. Facility access is gated, computer-controlled and recorded. Digital video cameras add extra layers of protection. This surveillance blanket provides 24/7 on-site security you can depend on year-round. 

3. A Variety of Sizes 

When you need lots of space, storage units with outdoor access are some of your best choices, and they come with a variety of square-footage options. Figure out exactly how much room you need with our online space estimator tool. 

4. Room to Move 

Imagine not having to navigate facility hallways while you're moving furniture. Picture off-loading heavy appliances straight into the unit. Treat your back to the luxury of easy loading and unloading with outdoor access to storage. 

5. Extra Parking Space 

Many drive-up units are designed for storing cars, RVs, and motorcycles. When you want long-term parking for extra wheels, simply drive or ride into your unit. When the bass boat needs a spot between Lake Pontchartrain fishing trips, dock it in your storage unit. 

6. Heavy Equipment Storage 

If you run a business that relies on heavy equipment, drive-up self storage keeps the tools of your trade locked up and ready to go. Landscapers, roofers, and handyman services are just a few examples of small businesses that save big money by avoiding the expense of leasing commercial warehouse space. 

7. Flexible Affordability 

Often, units with outside access are less expensive than interior units. The savings add up, but you don't have to sign a long-term contract. Month-to-month leasing keeps storage options flexible and your budget under control. 

Multiple Sites at Your Service 

Online account management and on-site storage specialists are two more great reasons to appreciate outdoor access to storage units. Stop by one of our three Metairie, LA sites, and explore all the easy ways to enjoy self storage. Our Safeguard teams look forward to showing you our great outdoors.

Crisp, cool breezes fill you with inspiration. Autumn leaves in Waterfall Glen fire up your imagination. You're ready to celebrate fall by decorating the house inside and out. It's time to explore all the creative opportunities tucked away in your Darien, IL self storage facility. 

Decorate With Nature's Palette 

The beautiful colors of fall are just outside your door. Scoop up those brilliant hues by gathering maple, elm, and hawthorn leaves. Pair your autumn foliage with pretty green apples for crafting centerpieces. 

Imagine the colorful possibilities in planters and urns stashed in your storage unit. These springtime containers are perfect for potting fall flowers. Fill yours with Chicago-friendly flora like cranberry bushes and ornamental kale. 

Celebrate Autumn Inside 

Make the house inviting with clever DIY fall decorating ideas. You don't have to break your budget at the hobby store to handcraft these homemade fall flourishes. 

• Line a carved-out pumpkin with foil, and turn it into an autumn planter filled with mums.
• Decorate fragrant oranges by adorning them in patterns made with whole cloves.
• Warm up the bedroom with fuzzy throws and plaid coverlets retrieved from self storage.

Embrace the Season Outside 

As you step out to greet each day, the cool change in seasons is truly inspiring. Embrace fall on your front porch with these simple decorating projects. 

• Drape railings with sisal rope garlands of dried broom corn and Indian corn.
• Brighten up the porch with piles of blue Lakota, white ghost, and orange pumpkins.
• Spell out your personal welcome to autumn on a rustic, thrift-store blackboard.

Double Up on Thrifty Decorating 

Stretch your craft budget around the calendar by making affordable storage units a part of fall decorating strategies. Self storage gives you plenty of room to stash extras from one season to the next. 

When it's time to take down fall decorations, stow them away in your storage unit. When it's time to get ready for the next holiday, bring the basics home, and update them to suit the season. Whether you call it recycling or repurposing, it's a thrifty way to celebrate all year long. 

Enjoy a Storage Unit for Every Season 

Here in Chicagoland, we all welcome the transition from summer to fall. Enjoy this time of year knowing you have access to the best storage units in Darien, IL. Enjoy it even more knowing Safeguard keeps your favorite decorating supplies ready for every season, and we're here for you year-round.

Your online business rocks – until you realize it's taking over the house. E-commerce success depends on room to grow, but your sanity depends on a home that isn't overrun with inventory. You need space to expand. It's time to offload your inventory overload into nearby storage units here in East Rockaway, NY. 

The House Doesn't Work 

In the beginning, you stashed everything in spare closets. Now, you're running out of room in the garage. You have to ensure the quality of everything you sell and keep your inventory secure. 

Self storage gives you a blank canvas for building an organizational system. No matter how large your inventory grows, you can streamline purchasing, receiving, and shipping through your unit. 

Storage Facilities Do Work 

The best storage units offer a variety of services for e-commerce tenants. Arrange to have stock delivered directly to your unit. Buy packing and shipping supplies on-site, and turn the space into your company's fulfillment center. 

Storage facilities work because they give you 24/7 access to processing inventory. Dollies and push carts are always available for moving big loads, and you can even lease drive-up units. 

Self Storage Stays Flexible 

Space in a storage facility isn't limited to one unit. You can upsize as your business grows with additional units, and you can downsize if things slow down. If you need to adjust inventory for seasonal sales, month-to-month leasing makes it easy to change unit sizes. 

Flexible room to grow expands stocking and selling capabilities. Imagine running multiple online businesses backed with inventory organized in several units. Affordable storage facilities turn that daydream into an e-commerce reality. 

Go with Amenities 

Warehouse storage space is expensive and hard to find. Safeguard Self Storage facilities are located all across the area and offer amenities that make handling business inventory much easier:

• Wide hallways and extra-large elevators
• Climate-controlled units
• Facility-wide security systems
• Computer-controlled access
• Individual unit door alarms
• Online account management

From quiet North Beach to the busy boardwalk along Miami Beach, you can have fun in the sun every day. It doesn't get much better than year-round access to surf and sand, but it can be a lot easier. Imagine making your trips to the beach a breeze with self storage here at our Allapattah facility in Miami, FL. 

Get Your Gear Organized 

Storage units and inexpensive metal shelving are great partners for organizing beach gear. You can even move in old bookcases or an extra dresser from home. Use these storage solutions for swimsuits, water shoes, and beach towels. 

Stash small items together in favorite beach bags stored in lidded containers. Wood pallets are great for elevating big beach must-haves like chairs and umbrellas off the floor. 

Use a folding table in the unit to temporarily stack things as you get organized between trips to the beach. Make sure it stays clutter-free so that it's always available as you come and go. 

Keep Everything Dry Year-Round 

Our tropical climate can be hard on beach gear stored in the garage. Protect your collection of surfside necessities in climate-controlled self storage with these humidity-busting tips. 

• Always make sure things are completely dry before storing.
• Don't keep clothes in plastic bags or cover large items with plastic sheets.
• Don't position shelving directly against unit walls.
• Leave plenty of room between stacks for air circulation.
• Place moisture absorbers in corners and silica gel packets in with clothes.

Hit the Beach With Benefits 

If you need a little motivation for getting things organized, just think about these cool benefits that come with keeping your beach gear in self storage. 

• You don't have to rummage around the house rounding things up.
• You aren't using closets, drawers, and the garage as storage for beach gear.
• It's impossible to forget something because everything is in one place.

You work hard for your clients. They appreciate your expertise, but you have to keep up with so much. Between staging a home, holding on to records and dealing with signage, you need your own professional space. As a real estate agent, you need business storage here in Coconut Creek, FL. 

Self Storage Works for the Client 

It's not easy to sell a home filled with years of clutter. It's also not easy to find room in the client's house for putting it all away. Personal items mean a lot to homeowners, so offer them peace of mind. 

When they know their belongings are headed for a convenient storage unit, sellers can relax. With your help, they can declutter closets and cabinets, clear crowded hallways, and even straighten up the garage. You can start staging the house and turning it into a property that's sure to attract solid offers. 

Business Storage Works for You

Consider all of the financial documents and transaction records you have to keep for at least five years. The paperwork quickly stacks up, so box it up for storage in a climate-controlled unit. Depending on your unit's size, you can even set up file cabinets for quickly locating and retrieving important records. 

The bulkiest tools of your trade are all of the different real estate signs. With business self storage, you have room to spare for everything. On-site carts and dollies make it a snap to move heavy signage in and out. 

• Stack bulky For Sale signs in the unit.
• Keep riders and directional signage handy.
• Easily store banners, brochure boxes, and lockboxes.

Storage Units Let You Expand 

When you have plenty of room to work, you have room to expand sales. Do you keep a small collection of staging decor for properties that look a little bare? Stash it in your unit for easy access. Are you interested in leasing a larger space as business grows? Share the cost of a bigger unit with other agents. You're even covered in terms of location with multiple convenient self storage sites across South Florida. 

We Make It All Easier 

We partner with area real estate agents just like you every day. It's our job to make your job easier with smart business storage solutions and a wide range of storage units. Just stop by our Coconut Creek, FL Safeguard facility or any of our other locations in greater Miami.

You're so good at organizing that your walk-in closet has room to spare. Why fill up that space with seasonal clothes and boxed belongings? Park those extras in self storage here in Elmsford, NY, and convert your walk-in into something special. Try one of these six closet-expanding ideas. 

Unique Ways to Use a Closet

1. Set Up a Sports Locker 

Lock in on extra walk-in space by making it your at-home sports locker. Divide overhead shelves into cubicles for organizing your gear. Keep jogging essentials ready to run by converting extra bookshelves into closet storage. 

2. Create a Craft Room 

Round up crafting supplies, and corral them in the walk-in. Set up your work area with a small table and chair just inside the door. Keep craft necessities within easy reach with hanging bag shoe organizers. 

3. Give the Kids a Playroom 

Put a bright, non-slip rug on the floor and drawer bins in the corner. Add a kid-sized table and chair set and a blackboard on the back of the closet door. Have fun knowing how much the kids enjoy their new playroom. 

4. Make Space for Wine Tasting 

Most walk-ins stay cool enough for storing wine, so become a stay-at-home sommelier. Set up a bar with built-in wine racks to hold your favorites and overhead tracks for hanging stemmed glasses. Upgrade your wine room's atmosphere by installing floor-to-ceiling mirrors behind the bar. 

5. Relax With a Reading Nook 

Turn that spare walk-in space into your very own reading nook. All you need are a few wall-mounted bookshelves and comfy bench seating with plenty of pillows. Brighten up your private library with battery-powered LED lighting. 

6. Add an Extra Laundry Room 

If your home's plumbing runs behind a closet wall, tap the system, and hook up a washing machine. Don't try to install a washer and dryer by yourself. Hire a licensed plumber and electrician to make the connections. That's all it takes to convert extra closet space into an extra laundry room. 

The Storage Units You Need 

We know you never waste space, so get creative with our ideas for locking in on your walk-in's potential. Our Safeguard teams are always happy to help make life at home a little easier and a lot roomier. We're at your service with the best storage units in Elmsford, NY and other self storage facilities across the New York metropolitan area.

If you think you're the only one in Lombard, IL who could fill an entire storage unit with bathroom clutter, you're not alone. It's a common problem, but it's easy to solve by taking advantage of space at home and in self storage. Just take it one step at a time.

Get Ready to Save Space

Well-organized bathroom storage sets you free to enjoy that extra cup of coffee in the morning. Start by pulling everything out of drawers and cabinets. If you haven't used it in a year or it's expired, throw it away.

Use a microfiber cloth to dust cabinet and drawer interiors. Step back, and take a good look. Your bathroom is now ready for a space-saving makeover.

Create Extra Counter Space

Use a cake stand to elevate vanity necessities and create extra counter space just underneath. Fill pretty glass jars with everyday unbreakables like cotton balls and makeup brushes, and put them on a turning tray. The jars become small storage spots that you can spin through as needed.

Divide and Conquer Drawers

Rule bathroom drawers by dividing spaces with interlocking tray organizers. These smart storage solutions snap into all kinds of configurations. Silverware trays and repurposed party dip trays also work well as inexpensive drawer dividers.

Lighten Up Under the Sink

Illuminate space under the sink with adhesive under-cabinet lights placed where they're easy to reach. Take advantage of the newly bright area with tiered wire basket units. Look for models that slide in and out like drawers.

Double Medicine Cabinet Space

Double stacking space inside the medicine cabinet with small, acrylic risers. Put the inside of the cabinet door to use with stick-on pods in different heights and widths. Mount a magnetic knife strip inside the door with a picture hanging strip, and use it to hold things like nail care tools and bobby pins.

Take Advantage of Organizing Tools

You probably have more bathroom decluttering power than you realize. Use these potential organizing treasures to open up space:

• Stackable wicker baskets
• Spare wall shelving
• Extra kitchen spice racks
• Standing magazine organizers

We Always Have Extra Room

Enjoy organizing your bathroom, and don't worry about running out of space. We have plenty to spare with our Lombard, IL storage units and 14 other Safeguard Self Storage locations across Chicago and the suburbs.
