Every New Year, Everyone Hopes to Declutter and Expand Their Space

Using mini storage is not just about storing items—it’s also about maintaining a comfortable living environment and enhancing your quality of life.

In Hong Kong, where space is limited, do we have to resort to wasteful practices like throwing things away? Actually, mini storage of various sizes can effectively help store furniture and household items, flexibly meeting the needs of modern families and improving living conditions.

Steps for Organizing and Storing

Analyze Your Belongings

Only keep the items you truly need. Take photos, document the current state, and estimate the required space. Then, sort through your belongings, keeping only what sparks joy or is essential. Items that are rarely used can be stored in a mini storage unit.

You can estimate the space needed using a Mini Storage Space Calculator: Space Calculator.

Decide on a Storage Plan

Based on your lifestyle, plan an efficient storage method to create free space. Choose a convenient and versatile storage method that allows you to organize items into mini storage units by size, frequency of use, and season, eliminating clutter.

Organize Items Systematically

Sort items systematically by category, purpose, or location. Prepare labels and notes, grouping similar items together and labeling them for easy identification and retrieval from the mini storage. You can also install shelves or hang items inside the storage unit to save space and enhance accessibility.
