We all have the habit of accumulating way too many things. However, there is no need to feel guilty about that since there is an easy solution. With a self-storage unit you wouldn't have to throw away your collections or old equipment, you can simply store it in a unit, where it will be on nobody's way. Moreover, some of the things people cherish don't have to be on display at home or in the garage. Here are the reasons why self-storage units are so valuable:

1. You can utilize a self storage unit by keeping your extra furniture, that you simply don't want to throw away. Who knows? It can be pricey to buy new. Whether you have downsized your home or you are going to share a place with someone, furniture is better stored than thrown away.

2. If you're going overseas for a long period and you don't want to sell your things, use a self-storage unit to keep them while you are gone. Once you are back you can start again by setting up a new place and it will be quicker than purchasing again.
3. Maybe your children have moved out but they have left lots of their belongings in the family home. If you don't want to get rid of their things and they might need them in the future you can store them in a self-storage unit until they decide what to do with them. This way you get the best of the situation - you have the house to yourself and your children get to keep their gear.
4. If you love sports your house or garage is probably full of sports equipment. Once you notice that the equipment is too much and too big to fit in the garage you might want to consider storing it away - it will be safe and it won't bother anyone in the house.

5. If you have a hobby which requires its own space this can easily be done in a self-storage unit. Whether it's fixing a car, pottery or photography, these activities are often accommodated in self-storage these days.

6. If you own a business it probably generates lots of paperwork, which is piling in the office. Free yourself from the burden of it and store it in a small self-storage unit, where you can arrange it and keep it safe.

7. If you want to rent out a room in your house it will have to be free of unnecessary items, so find a place for them in self-storage.

8. Have you sold your house before finding a replacement? Staying in a hotel with your entire household would be literally impossible, so your only solution is using self-storage. This will only be a temporary solution, but it will save you the stress and confusion of what to do. You can choose between a few sizes of self-storage units, so you don't have to pay for more space than you actually need.

9. When you're in the process of trying to sell your home, it is best to declutter the place as much as you can. Viewings are very important and the potential buyers want to imagine their things in the rooms, which will be easier if yours are not scattered everywhere around. Using a self-storage unit for this purpose is simply the best choice. 

10. If you own valuables, collectable or antiques that you'd rather not keep at home, store them in a unit where they will be secure.
