The ongoing impact of the cost-of-living crisis has resulted in more homeowners opting to “Improve not move” – essentially making the best of what their home currently offers rather than selling, moving and/or relocating to a new one.

According to propertyreporter.co.uk, 79% of homeowners say that the cost-of-living crisis has caused a shift in priorities when it comes to selling their home and buying another. Even those who do decide to move home during this time have changing priorities - including spending less on a new property (18%) and instead selecting a property which is more of a project than they’d normally choose. 

Those opting to stay put are looking to improve and renovate the homes they currently have for a fraction of the cost of moving… an exciting yet challenging task for any DIY’ers, whether experienced or not.

If you’re looking to give your living space a fresh new look or even expand its size for extra functionality, the process often involves temporary disruptions to your daily life – mainly from the clutter and mess associated with renovations no matter how big or small.

Creating Space for Progress

Home renovations typically require moving furniture, clearing rooms, and creating an environment prepared for safe construction work. This upheaval can leave you with limited space to live comfortably, so what are your options to make this process run as smoothly as possible? The most popular, cost-effective, and seamless way to go about this without having to part ways with your belongings that are getting in the way of your renovation work permanently - is self-storage.

Renting a self-storage unit allows you to safely store furniture, personal belongings, and other items that might be causing clutter during renovations. By temporarily relocating these items to a safe and reputable storage facility, you can create a more organised and spacious environment within your home, enabling contractors to work safely and ensuring your sanity remains intact throughout the process!

Protecting Your Belongings

Home improvement projects can be messy. Dust, debris, and potential accidents are all part and parcel of the process. With this in mind, protecting your valuable possessions from damage is paramount, and self-storage units provide a secure and climate-controlled environment to keep your furniture, electronics, and other belongings safe from the chaos of construction.

Opting for a reputable self-storage facility ensures that your items are stored in a clean and secure space, and M-Store does just that.

Flexibility and Accessibility

One of the key benefits of M-Store Self-Storage during home renovations is the flexibility on offer. You can choose a unit size that suits your needs, whether storing a few items or an entire household whilst being able to adjust the duration required based on the timeline of your renovation project – because we all know that sometimes things run over and don’t go as planned!
