With Valentines right around the corner and love in the air, what better time to offer up some storage tips and tricks to help moving in with your partner go as smoothly as possible! Maybe one of you is moving in with the other, or maybe you’re moving into a whole new space together, whatever the case, these tips will help your relationship milestone get off to the very best start.

1.    Declutter

An obvious one but two people equals twice the stuff! Use this exciting time as a good excuse to declutter and get rid of things you just don’t reach for anymore. This could be anything from books to unwanted clothes to furniture. You can either sell these items online for a little extra money or donate them to a good cause.

2.    Rearrange your items

Sometimes you don’t need to get rid of items, you just need to store or rearrange them more effectively! Have a good look at your furniture and see if there is a way you could more effectively position them to create more space or squeeze extra pieces in. See point three for some clever storage ideas!

3.     Get smart with your storage

There are some fantastic storage options that you can take advantage of nowadays, including storage beds, stackable boxes, over the door shelving, and TV stands with cupboards. With so many options in so many finishes, you’re sure to find something that you and your partner love and works with your preferred décor.

4.    Reduce duplicate items

If you’re moving in with your partner and taking all your stuff with you, it’s very like that there will be duplicate items. Create an inventory together and decide what is essential and can stay and what you could potentially get rid of. For example, if you have two TVs, you may decide to get rid of one.

5.    Make use of storage units

Storage units are fantastic options if you don’t want to get rid of everything or you need extra time to sort out your stuff after you’ve moved in together. At M Store we offer secure and flexible storage options that are tailored to your exact needs. So, whether you just need some short term storage whilst you work out what your essentials are, or you need something longer term to keep your prized possessions safe until you can move into a larger space, we can help!
