Usher in the New Year with a Refreshed and Reorganized Living Space! 

Welcome 2024 with an organized home, a fresh beginning, and practical decluttering strategies. Discover the transformative power of home organization and learn how self-storage and portable storage solutions can simplify your life in this new year. It’s time to embrace change, invite tranquillity, and create an environment that inspires you every day. So, let’s get started! 

Whether you’ve been planning and getting ready all month or are just starting to think about it now – with the holidays just around the corner, now’s the time to start getting your home ready for your friends and family who are planning to stay overnight.

Are you ready to break free from the traditional 9-to-5 grind? The digital nomad lifestyle is calling your name! 

One of the key advantages of a location-independent lifestyle is the ability to travel and explore different parts of the world while maintaining a sustainable income. Digital nomads, for example, can work remotely using their laptops and an internet connection, allowing them to choose their desired locations freely. Picture this: working from a beachside cafe in Bali, typing away on your laptop as the waves crash against the shore. Or maybe you prefer a cozy mountain cabin, surrounded by breathtaking views while you tackle your tasks for the day. With location-independent living, the world becomes your office. This flexibility not only satisfies wanderlust but also enables you to experience diverse cultures, cuisines, and landscapes.

‘Tis the season for holiday decorating. If you’re overwhelmed by tangled lights, damaged ornaments, and gnarled garlands, your New Year’s resolution might be to revamp your holiday decor storage.

Properly storing holiday decorations is often overlooked, but it plays an important role in preserving the quality and longevity of these festive items. From delicate ornaments to bulky inflatables, organizing and storing holiday decor can save you time, money, and frustration when it comes time to decorate for the next season.

Whether you are moving, downsizing, or simply looking to declutter your space, finding the right storage solution is important. Two popular choices that often come up in this discussion are portable storage and self-storage. Make Space Storage conveniently offers both of these storage options at most of our facilities across Canada. 

Portable storage refers to a convenient and flexible solution that allows you to store your belongings in a portable container that can be delivered directly to your doorstep. On the other hand, self-storage involves renting a unit at a dedicated facility where you have access to your belongings whenever you need them.

As seniors approach retirement or face changes in their living situations, downsizing becomes a common consideration. Moving to a smaller home can bring plenty of benefits, such as reduced maintenance, lower expenses, and the opportunity for a fresh start.

However, downsizing can also pose unique challenges. Seniors may have strong emotional connections to their current home, filled with memories and sentimental value. Downsizing requires sorting through belongings accumulated over a lifetime. It can be overwhelming to work through a lifetime of memories and figure out what is important to hold on to.
