Moving in Salt Lake City: Storage Tips for Growing Families
Growing Family, Growing Storage Needs
As your family expands, so do your belongings. New parents quickly accumulate baby furniture, strollers, toys, and clothes that babies outgrow in a flash. Instead of tripping over items you won’t need for a while, consider storing baby gear until the next child comes along. Label and organize bins for maternity clothes, infant toys, and seasonal kids’ clothes. This way, everything is easy to find when you need it again. Salt Lake City is a family-friendly community, and many neighborhoods have limited storage space in homes—so a storage unit becomes an invaluable “extra closet” for growing families.
Home Office & Hybrid Work Overflow
With more parents working from home, creating a home office often means sacrificing a spare room or basement space. Use self-storage to keep the overflow of furniture, files, or equipment that no longer fit in your home. For example, if you turned a guest room into a nursery or office, store the extra bed and décor instead of cramming it into the garage. A 5x10 or 10x10 unit can hold desks, chairs, and boxes of documents you don’t need daily. By moving seldom-used items into storage, your family can enjoy a comfortable home workspace without the clutter.
Storage Tips for Salt Lake City Moves
Sort and Label: Pack items you won’t need immediately (seasonal decor, backup baby gear, winter clothes) and label every box. Clear labels save you from opening 10 boxes to find one toy.
Use a Size Guide: Not sure what unit size you need? Check out our Storage Unit Size Guide for videos and tips on choosing the right space. For instance, a 5x5 unit might hold a nursery’s worth of boxes, while a 10x15 can fit multiple rooms of furniture.
Protect Your Items: Use sturdy plastic bins for kids’ clothes and toys to keep out dust. Disassemble large furniture (cribs, shelving) to save space, and cover mattresses or sofas with furniture covers. If storing any electronics or wooden furniture during Utah’s hot summers and cold winters, consider a climate-controlled unit (more on that in our next blog) to prevent damage from temperature swings.
Keep Essentials Handy: Place everyday items (like strollers or sports gear) toward the front of your unit. That way, you can grab the soccer equipment for Saturday’s game without unpacking the whole unit.
Family-Friendly Storage Features in SLC
Not all storage facilities are the same. Storage Corner Salt Lake City offers features that make life easier for busy families. One big perk is drive-up access – you can back your car or moving truck right up to your unit door for quick loading and unloading. No long hallways or heavy lifting up stairs; just “drive, drop, and go” convenience. This is a lifesaver when you have fussy toddlers in the car or a limited window between nap times to move items.
We also provide extended access hours (7:00 am to 10:00 pm daily), so you can visit your unit when it fits your schedule. Need to make an evening trip after the kids are in bed? No problem. Our facility is well-lit with 24-hour security cameras for peace of mind. Plus, Storage Corner Salt Lake City is conveniently located just off I-15 and I-80 in downtown, making it easy to swing by your unit on the way home . We’re near local neighborhoods and even offer contactless rentals and online bill pay, so managing your storage is hassle-free.
