The sale or rental of storage rooms is a trend that is here to stay. It is a solution with which you can gain many square meters in your home.
The storage room, or how to gain square meters without changing apartments, is a storage alternative, both for individuals who do not have enough space to store their belongings, and for businesses that need places to store their products.
In large cities like Madrid and Barcelona, the demand for this type of spaces is increasing. Specifically, Spain is the third country in the European Union with the highest number of storage rooms available for rent and sale. The main reason for this increase is due to the increase in the rental price, as well as the purchase price of real estate.
Previously, most of these spaces were located on the outskirts of cities, but over time this has changed. More and more consumers are demanding storage rooms in the city center to avoid long trips and be able to go there more frequently.
Suitcases, clothes from other seasons, sports equipment or even furniture are some of the objects that you can store in the storage room. It all depends on the square meters of your property. To give you an idea, a small storage room usually has a minimum size of 1m2. A medium storage room usually has a minimum size of 4.5m2 and a large storage room measures approximately 10m2.
How to optimize your storage room space?
To start, you can make a small investment by purchasing shelves and boxes of the same size that you can place on each of the shelves. Under no circumstances should you use plastic or cloth bags, as they break over time and absorb moisture.
We also suggest that you label the boxes with permanent markers. Otherwise, it is likely that when you want to go look for something you will not remember where it is, and you will waste time opening and closing boxes.
Although it may be obvious, we recommend that you save only what you are going to use. Do you still keep your children's clothes and toys from when they were little? And that television you bought when you first moved in, is it still there?
Try to keep only those things that you are really going to use. The rest you can give away, throw away or donate, it's up to you. Remember that the more space you have available to store things, the more space you will have in your home and the more comfortable you will feel.
Avoid having things lying on the floor and near entrances to move freely. Finally, remember to keep your storage room clean and tidy to avoid the presence of pests, mites and humidity.
