Commercial Storage Makes Your Office Bigger!

How To Make Space In Your Wardrobe



Does your wardrobe cabinet look like a disaster where the clothes just drop out when you open the doors? Well there is only one person to blame here and that is you! Most of us keep piling up on old garments when we purchase new ones. Piling up clothes is only a part of this issue. Some of us even store clothing like leather jackets and coats which take up a lot of space in the wardrobe. Another problem that results in a messed up wardrobe is the amount of clothing and gear that ends up in there, winter jackets from last years ski trip to Switzerland for example.

A simple solution would be to first take an extremely strict approach and discard all the old clothing, clothing that is years old (which you think you would wear someday… Yes someday!) and get rid of them. After you have removed the clutter from the chaos, the next task is to find out which clothes or gear you would use often. Divide the pile into two lots ones that you use daily or weekly and the ones that you don’t wear often even occasionally for that matter. With the majority of the work almost done now all you need to do is arrange your wardrobe with the clothes that you wear on a daily basis. What do I do with the other clothes you ask? That’s where storage facilities like The Box come in. Box up the entire lot of leathers, sports gear and those odd boots and head to a self storage facility in Dubai like The Box.

The Box is a safe and secure way to store all your unused household items, seasonal clothing, sports gear and even luggage. The Box is a storage solution in Dubai which strives to achieve complete customer satisfaction, be it in terms of removals, storage, moving and even logistics.

Choose What You Store


Most of us like to collect and preserve old photographs, household items and even old documents. All of this fine up to a point at which the house doesn’t end up looking like a mess, especially in the case of smaller apartments. Choosing what to store and what to dump and let go is important.

When it comes to old electronic appliances, be it even a mobile phone, get them discarded at the store the same time you buy a new one. Most mobile phone stores these days will have a system in place to safely recycle old phones. Keeping small electronic items things like old calculators, tapes, unused stationary (which you think you probably would use someday) in a drawer will usually lead to a pile up. So its best to discard such items the minute you buy something to replace it. This habit will automatically reduce clutter at home and in turn also help in saving the environment when it reaches the recycler in time. In terms of old furniture, either reuse the wood for other applications or ask the furniture company to get rid of it for you. The good thing about electronic appliances are that most stores usually have an exchange offers set in place for dealing with your old appliance. When it come to old photographs and antiques store the ones that really have value and not anything and everything. Else you’ll end up with a cartload of boxes lying around the apartment containing all the photographs turning your memories into a mess.

Now after you have chosen what to retain and what to discard, you will still end up having a couple of boxes lying around using up all those corners and spaces in and around the house and even in the wardrobe. This is when you should search for a storage facility in Dubai like The Box. The Box is a smart storage company in the UAE offering a variety of services to securely store all your precious goods and antiques with their climate controlled and CCTV monitored storage facilities.
