Utilise Self Storage Working From Home

Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic changed the way we live, work and socialise, working from home has quickly become a worldwide phenomenon that many businesses may not have considered or approved of beforehand.

Flexibility is now at our fingertips, which is an amazing opportunity for many, but also a challenge when it comes to finding the balance between work and home life. Most importantly, space is something most renters and homeowners struggle with, without then having to create an ‘office’ space in their home.

The self storage solution

Self storage units offer the perfect solution to the disorganisation and clutter that often occurs when working from home – providing additional storage space for work and home life without having to compensate.

There are many ways you can utilise self storage when working from home, as a business or employee. In this article, we discover the most beneficial.

Declutter your home office

The most difficult challenge of working from home is creating a space to work comfortably in. Some people are lucky to have a spare room, but many will be finding a corner in their bedroom or living room to create their new office environment.

Creating a space that is not only comfortable but also professional and organised can be tough. No one wants a sneak peek into your private life and, equally, you probably don’t want your home on show to colleagues. With self storage, you can gather belongings that you don’t necessarily need, but want to keep and store them to make space for a desk or working area.

Keep work and personal items separate

Working from home can cause confusion between your personal and professional life, making it tough to separate the two when it’s time to log off. Self storage units allow you to maintain a healthy work-life balance, reduce stress and improve productivity, allowing you to keep work and home items separate.

Store confidential documents and office furniture

For businesses, having a secure place to store confidential documents and files is crucial for security purposes, especially with regulations such as GDPR in place. This is also handy for those working from home who may feel uncomfortable storing important documents in their house.

Store excess inventory and supplies

After the lockdown, many businesses downsized or cleared their office spaces entirely, leaving no room for old desks or office equipment. A self storage unit can keep everything safe without having to throw anything away should you need it in the future. Small businesses that work from home and sell products online may have an excess inventory or supplies taking up space at home. Self storage can support businesses with additional, organised product space without being too costly.
