If you are running out of space at home, with blocked hallways and overflowing cupboards, container storage offers a simple, secure solution.

Homes without garages need storage that keeps belongings protected and accessible. Whether you’re storing furniture, bikes, tools or seasonal decorations, Big Box Container Storage can help you.

Home Storage Solutions and Their Limits

Household storage can only go so far, with smart solutions only working for certain items, but every approach has its limits. Some smart solutions for smaller items are: 

  • ​Under-bed storage boxes and ottoman beds are great for clothes, bedding and shoes. Larger items like bicycles, garden furniture or tools still need a better solution.
  • ​Over-door organisers and wall-mounted racks help clear floor space in kitchens and bathrooms. In rented homes, you might need landlord permission to install them.
  • ​Loft storage is only an option if it's accessible and has proper flooring and lighting. Many homes do not have this, and moving heavy boxes up a ladder is rarely convenient.
  • ​Decluttering can help, but some things need to stay. Seasonal decorations, inherited furniture, sports equipment and tools all need a place to be stored when not in use.

When External Storage Makes Sense

Storage units become the obvious next step when home organisation reaches its limit or items are too big to store at home. 

  • Seasonal items: Christmas decorations, garden furniture and winter tyres* that only need storing for part of the year.
  • Bicycles and sports equipment: Bulky items that take up valuable space in hallways, landings or other areas of the home.
  • Garden equipment: Lawn mowers, tools and other equipment when there is no suitable shed or outdoor storage space.
  • Furniture: Sofas, tables, wardrobes and other larger items while moving house, renovating or downsizing.
  • Student belongings: Furniture, boxes and personal items stored during summer breaks or between tenancies.
  • Work equipment and stock: Business equipment, supplies and business storage when there is limited space at home.
