Rent a container to replace a cellar

Not every household has additional storage space available. What is sometimes quite normal abroad is less common in Germany, but it is still possible that you don't have a cellar compartment in your flat here either.

And if you do have one, these cellar compartments are often damp and unusable.

This lack of space can quickly become a problem - what do you do with your bike, for example, when the neighbours are already complaining that it is always parked in the hallway?

And what do you do with larger purchases for the flat if you can't put everything directly into the flat? Lager.de wants to give you some tips on how you can still gain space without a cellar or without a usable cellar - and how you can rent a container.

TIPS FOR MAKING SPACE

First of all, you need to take a good look around your house or flat. Where is space not being utilised in unnecessary corners? How can you organise the room layout more intelligently? 

It is then important to get rid of some things in order to create space. Decluttering is the hardest step for many people because it often means getting rid of emotional things rather than practical items.

Old kitchen items or furniture can sometimes even be turned into money by selling them on classified ad portals. The same applies to clothes. If you haven't worn an item of clothing for over two years, for example, you will never miss it.

If you have a staircase in your house or flat, you should definitely utilise this space. The perfect way to do this would be to have customised shelves or wardrobes installed, as this saves the most space. What's more, customised shelving keeps things more organised than simply throwing things under the stairs.

This kind of easily overlooked space is not only found under the stairs. Under the bed is also an area where space is easily overlooked, even though there is plenty of room there, depending on the type of bed.

The bed can be fitted with a suitable bed base so that bed linen or towels, for example, can be stored in an organised manner. Under-bed boxes are also an option.

Plastic boxes are another option for the whole flat or house. If you integrate them well into the style of your home, they can even look reasonably smart. And they are certainly practical. Not only can you store a lot in plastic boxes, but they can also separate different themed areas so that you can quickly find the things you are looking for.

Wall space is also often underestimated. In some cases, you can attach super stylish shelves there that don't necessarily have to be connected to the floor if there are other things underneath, such as a kitchen unit or a toilet. This allows you to save a lot of space and still create a new storage area.

What always helps is good organisation in general. For example, you should always sort items by size and category so that you can find things more quickly and everything looks more organised from the outside than if everything is lying around all over the place.

You should avoid having too many things on the floor, as this looks disorganised to guests as well as to your own psyche and brain.

Plastic boxes are not the only option for storing things. Stylish baskets also give you the opportunity to pack things away. Depending on your needs, you can decide where to put a larger basket and where to put a smaller one.

Once you have created the space, you just have to make sure that you use it. So: The shelves and cupboards should be filled accordingly and hardly anything should be left lying around.

Rent a container from Lager.de

These tips will help most people a lot. But some things, such as the aforementioned bicycle or, above all, large, bulky items that take up a lot of space or things that you don't need that much in everyday life, often block the space and prevent you from really living out your life within your own four walls. In this case, you can rent a container from Lager.de.

The whole thing works as follows: Lager.de has different sized boxes available in an outdoor storage park. You can then choose the right size for you and store all the things there that you no longer need at home or don't need so often - classic things that would otherwise be stored in a cellar.

As this is not available, Lager.de is the perfect alternative in such cases. And best of all, because the storage park where you can rent containers is outside, the storage units are cheaper than conventional self-storage providers.

However, the advantages are the same and there are no disadvantages. You can drive your car right up to the box and have a safe, clean and above all - unlike some cellars - dry storage space at your disposal. You can now store all kinds of cellar utensils there: sports equipment, decorative items, your bike, boxes of miscellaneous stuff and anything else you can fit in the cellar.
