Keep Your Belongings Safe and Organized with Chenal 10 Storage

Your belongings are important, and Chenal 10 is here to help keep them safe and secure—whether you’re between spaces or have simply run out of room. To make retrieving your items easier when the time comes, we’ve compiled a list of helpful tips.

1. Use Specific Labels

Clearly label everything (except furniture). While most people label boxes during a move, the labels are often too vague. For instance, a box marked “Kitchen Items” could include anything from utensils to plates. Instead, be more specific. Consider:

• Where will these items go in your new home?
• Are some items meant for display while others are for everyday use?

For example, separate “countertop utensils” from “drawer utensils” or “display plates” from “cupboard plates.” This approach will make unpacking faster and more organized.

Bonus Tip: Use color-coded labels or duct tape to indicate which room each box belongs to.

2. Keep Everyday Items Accessible

Think about the items you use daily. If you must store these items, pack them separately and ensure they’re easy to access. For example, you won’t want to dig through multiple boxes just to find your favorite coffee maker or a frequently used tool.

3. Declutter Before Packing

Take a moment to evaluate which items you actually use. If you haven’t used something in a long time—or at all—consider letting it go.

• Sell: Host a garage sale, sell items on platforms like eBay, Etsy, OfferUp, or Depop.
• Donate: Give to local thrift stores or charities.
• Give Away: Share items with friends or family who might find them useful.

Decluttering saves time, space, and money by reducing what you need to pack, transport, and store.

4. Plan Storage and Moving Truck Space

Once your items are packed, it’ll be easier to estimate the space needed for both the moving truck and storage unit. Contact the storage facility and moving company for advice or recommendations on space requirements to avoid unnecessary stress.
