Make The Most of Your Wardrobe

Everyone could use a little help organizing and getting the most use of their wardrobe. We are here to tell you how to use self storage to your advantage when it comes to all things clothes. Let’s get that wardrobe ready for summer 2022.

Making Your Wardrobe Work

Here we will give you some important tips be being able to efficiently use your clothes. We all probably have too many pieces of clothing to count, and we often forget about certain items, well no more!

Be Organized

Simple right? Wrong. The organization is a process that we often struggle with. The big positive of being organized is knowing exactly where every piece of clothing is. The best way to organize is by season and then break it down even further. The organization should help you keep your items to just a portion of the storage unit and leave more storage space for other things.

Use every inch

Hangers are key here. Use matching hangers, they are designed to sit flush with one another. The amount of space you will save with this tip alone is astonishing. If you find that there is a lot of empty storage space in the hanging area of the closet, you can install extra rods so that you can make use of the wasted space to put up more shirts, pants and dresses.

If you don’t need it, put it away

Are you really going to use that winter coat in July? How about those suit pants from your wedding? Chances are no, so store it away, but remember to keep it labelled so when the time comes you can grab it in a flash.

Repeat

Repeat this every few months or so, we are always accumulating more and more items and before you even know it, your closet it fills again. Decluttering every few months allows for more workable space in your home and closets.

We here at North Shore Mini can help you maximize your wardrobe today!

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
