If you live in a small space in Los Angeles, San Bernardino or Orange County, there are a number of ways you can make your living or office space larger. In addition to reducing your clutter by putting things into a self-storage unit , you can use certain design techniques to broaden the perceived size of your living or office space. Here is an overview of the many ways you can get more out of your small space.

Get Rid of Clutter

This is the first and most important step, because even large spaces can become cramped and disorderly when there’s too much stuff around. Look around your living or office space and identify things you haven’t used in a while. Books you haven’t read, kitchen equipment you never use, and clothes you don’t wear should be given away, sold, recycled, or placed in a self-storage unit.

Create Visual Illusions

If you cannot physically expand your small living space , then expand the way you perceive it. Light is one of the best ways to do this. Add a skylight, replace a door with an archway, or tweak your lighting fixtures to let more light into your space. If you have a lease that says you cannot tinker with these features, use paint instead. Cool, light colors make a small space seem larger. Standing, hanging, and large-paneled mirrors give an illusion of more space, but make sure that the reflection is of something attractive, such as a painting or a light fixture. If you have low ceilings, buy pieces of art with vertical lines and hang them above eye level.

Downsize Your Furniture

If you have a recliner or a huge sofa, sell it, recycle it, or put it into a self-storage unit. A small sofa or loveseat is a better fit for a smaller space. Replace large appliances and a large TV with space-efficient appliances and flat-panel TV instead.

Tustin Self Storage lost one of our long time customers, as she has finally come to the end of her tenancy.   She came from back East to be closer to her daughter.  She bought a house and for the last few months she has been working on getting it ready for move in………The day finally came for her to move in to her new house and out of her storage .  She was as happy as one could be to get in to her new home and was beaming from ear to ear.  It was like watching a little kid on Christmas morning, she said she liked the unit because it was large enough to fit all of her things.  Well we hate to see Her go, but on the other hand we want to say good luck in your new place. The last thing I said to her was if you need us again you know where to come and  we’ll leave the lights on, waiting for you.

And the momentum continues… more than half of the tenants who signed contracts with us here, at Pouch San Juan this week were previous tenants, tenants acquiring a second unit or new tenants who were referred to Pouch by existing tenants.  As one former tenant put it, “ We have all been happy and impressed with the excellent customer service, friendliness, easy access and the total overall experience at Pouch San Juan Self Storage!”

What a nice way to end the week!

Todays Happenings is about a new rental who was visiting our neighboring business researching the cost of a fire place. His next visit was to buy some boxes from our other neighbor (we won’t mention any names). While looking for the entrance to our competitor, he notice us, he came in and liked us so much he reserved a storage space and commented on our one-stop shop. I totally agree.
