Reading Student Storage Hacks with Magenta

Let’s discuss some of our top Reading student storage hacks to help you have an organised and successful term.

As the summer term commences, you will probably be thinking about your next move. Whether you are staying with family over the summer, travelling, or moving into a new student house in the autumn, you will need to figure out where you’re going to put all of your belongings. 

Less than a 10-minute drive from campus, Magenta Self Storage offers a wide range of storage spaces for students to suit all of your requirements. From lockers to large containers, enjoy a safe, secure, and clean environment for your belongings until you return to university. Forget the hassle of lugging your belongings back and forth over the summer and let Magenta Self Storage look after your belongings until you need them again.

Declutter Before You Store

Yes, it can be tempting to just put all of your belongings into boxes and deal with them later. However, decluttering before you store your belongings away will save you so much time when it comes to moving back into university, allowing for more time to spend with your friends.

Plus, don’t pay extra to store more belongings which you are potentially only going to dispose of once you return to university.

Return those library books that you won’t be looking at over the summer. Pack away all of those winter coats and clothes you won’t need for a while. Consider donating any belongings which are in good condition that you may not require anymore.

Maximise Space Efficiency

Save money and maximise your space. We know as a student, budgets can be tight, so make the most of our storage units by utilising space-saving hacks. Consider vacuum-packed bags for large bedding or winter coats. Organise your belongings vertically and start with the largest first to maximise your unit space.

Label Your Belongings

Ah, summer break. A time for relaxation, adventure, and… frantically unpacking boxes because you know you forgot something essential. We’ve all been there. Maybe it’s the phone charger you swear you packed, that comfy pair of slippers, or even worse, your absolute favourite book.

Ditch the mystery box approach. Clearly label each box with its contents. Include details like autumn textbooks, spring clothes, bedding, etc. This will save you a lot of time rummaging through boxes later on.

Protect Your Belongings

Ensure all of your belongings are carefully wrapped up to prevent any damage whilst they are kept safe and secure in our storage units. We recommend covering furniture in dust sheets to keep them at their best for when you come to use them again in the autumn.

We even have a box shop onsite for your every need. From boxes, bubble wrap, dust sheets and tape – we’ve got it all to make your life as easy as possible so you can enjoy your summer knowing your belongings are safe and secure.
