How to Prepare Your Space for a Party

It’s party season, with the weather warming up, it’s bringing all the people out of their homes to socialize. So, with spring/summer party season here, do you really know how to transform that space as a party space? Let North Shore Mini Storage show you how.

Transform Your Space into a Party Space

There doesn’t need to be a good reason for a party, just make sure your space is up to the task.

Walk a Mile in Your Guests Shoes

That’s right, take the perspective of a guest to your party. Have a walk around the space you plan to use, living room, patio or kitchen and try and get a new first impression. Is there a lot of clutter? Can you find the amenities easily? Is there a space dedicated to food? Asking these questions will help you in planning.

Declutter

People like to walk around during parties and mingle. So creating some extra space in your party area is key. You can move items from one area to another or rent a local self storage unit dedicated to party decluttering.

It’s The Small Things

You may not notice the finer details, but your guests sure do. Things from fancy placeholders, napkins, fresh soap in the bathroom etc. Make sure to really go into detail and make your guests want to come back.

Clean and Clean Again

Polish up everything, from spoons to window sills. Brighten up as much as you’re to really get a great first impression. Even the light bulbs could probably use a good dusting. So get cleaning and polishing like mad.

We hope this party season is a success for you and your friends. If you have any tips for us, leave a comment below. PS. Don’t forget the party favors and collect everyone’s keys should there be drinking.

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.
