STORAGE WHILE RENOVATING

Renovating? Get the furniture out of the way.

Dust, paint and contractors do not mix with a sofa. A short storage stretch keeps the rooms clear and the furniture clean, and the plan tells you the order to bring everything back.

What usually goes in

  • Living room and dining furniture from the rooms being worked on.
  • Bookcases and their contents, boxed shelf by shelf so they go back the same way.
  • The TV and electronics, upright, in their boxes if you still have them.
  • Not: paint, fuel, propane or anything else the storage rules below do not allow.

Lay it out for the way you will use it

  • Put the room that finishes first nearest the door; it comes back first.
  • Wrap upholstery and stand mattresses on edge to save floor space.
  • Keep one shelf unit for the small things you will want during the work.
  • Check the big pieces fit through the door: the planner flags what only fits tilted.
GET IT BACK IN ORDER

Get things back in the order you need them.

The room that finishes first should come back first, so its things go in last. The room that finishes last goes in first and waits at the back.

  1. Out first

    Within reach during the work

    Goes in last, nearest the door.

    • Moving box × 2

    The small things you will want mid-project, boxed and labeled by the door.

  2. Out next

    The room that finishes first

    Goes in the middle.

    • Sofa
    • Flat-screen TV

    Load it last so it is the first room to come back.

  3. Out last

    The room that finishes last

    Goes in first, at the back.

    • Dining table
    • Dining chair × 2
    • Bookcase
    • Large box

    Load it first. It waits at the back until that room is ready.

The planner’s starting list, 9 items: Sofa, Dining table, Dining chair × 2, Bookcase, Flat-screen TV, Moving box × 2, Large box. Swap in your own items and the planner gives you a loading order.

An example order to change. It is the same list the planner opens with, not a measured plan for your things.

Plan it

The planner starts with a living room's worth of furniture, a bookcase, a TV and boxes you can swap for your own, shows how it fits in each size and gives you a loading order. No account is needed to start.

How long, and what it costs

Renovation stays tend to run from a few weeks to a few months and often need a flexible end date, because the work rarely finishes on the planned day. Whether month-to-month terms are offered, and the price, is up to the location, and the team confirms it with you.

Unit sizes, availability, prices, hours and access come from the location, not from this page. Location details are on Locations, and Find a space sends a real request.
