It can be tempting to put that new blender or high-end pair of shoes in the back of the closet and forget about them for a while. But it’s not worth the risk – if you need something that valuable, either use it regularlyor store it in a safe place.

#2: Important Documents

It’s easy to forget about important documents like birth certificates and passports. But if you need them, you’ll be glad you have them. It’s a good idea to keep your important documents in a fireproof safe or a bank safety deposit box. If you need to store documents that are too big for a safe, use a climate-controlled storage unit. Your passport is a document that you will need if you are traveling out of the country. If you are going to be in an area where there is no cell phone service, keep a copy of your passport and driver’s

#3: Plants

Your plants should be kept out of the dark and cold storage room. Plants are an example of what not to put in storage units during a move. Plants need natural light, water and fresh air in order to grow, and you would deprive them of all three if you did that. The end of your plants would be the result of such a thoughtless act. It’s also important to make sure all your boxes are tightly sealed. And, if possible, get a friend or family member who is good at doing heavy lifting to help move. Also, be sure to remove all packing peanuts before your movers arrive. Must Keep in Your Storage Room (while Moving)  

Furniture

It’s no secret that furniture is one of the most common items in storage units. What is it about this that causes it? Most furniture pieces are very heavy and take a lot of space. It’s possible that you won’t have enough room in the new home for all the furniture items you want to take with you. If your current pieces don’t match the interior of the new place, that’s a problem. Since the new house or apartment is fully furnished, some of the furniture you are moving may have already been made redundant. If you want to keep the sentimental value of your furniture pieces, you may want to sell them at a garage sale. It is a good idea to put furniture in storage because you think you will need it again.

Seasonal items

During the first part of the year, many people tend to accumulate articles they know they won’t need until the next season (such as clothing and accessories), and they put these items into storage. However, since they won’t need these items for at least six months to a year, they often end up selling these items at a huge discount before the next season even arrives! When you’re moving house, you can do the same and put some of your seasonal items in storage: Clothes and shoes to wear. When you decide what to do with your out of season clothes and shoes, you can store them away. During a summer move, your winter clothes and heavy boots can be stored away. There are various equipment during the season. You can put your ski gear in temporary storage during the summer if you don’t need it during the winter. Depending on the season, summer or snow tires are an example of things that you can store away.
