Are you excited about the big change coming into your life with a baby on the way? Of course, alongside the excitement comes stress about making sure everything is perfect, including the safety and comfort of your child. To make this happen, you’ll need to designate a special place in your home for your baby, whether that be a nursery or an area of your bedroom. Don't worry; if you're wondering where you will fit all the baby essentials, there's a clever solution!
Kangaroo Self Storage offers a variety of unit sizes to declutter and safely store your items, creating that extra space in your home. Keep on reading to discover how to transform the cluttered space in your home into a nursery.
If you're in need of additional household storage space, you might not even realise that you already have space; it’s just hidden with clutter! We all have that spare bedroom or cluttered corner of the room where we keep seasonal things or just items we rarely use. This is your sign to go through these cluttered spaces and rethink which items you really need to keep. This way, you’ll get that extra space you need for a nursery. Let's go through three simple steps to do just that.
The very first step you need to do is declutter your room. Try to get at least one free afternoon to face this challenge so that you can calmly think about the things you will no longer need. Consider donating your items to local charity shops or selling some of them on online platforms such as eBay, Gumtree, or Vinted; this way, you can put the extra cash toward new items for your baby.
For the things you can’t let go of, you’ll need a secure and trustworthy place to store them. That’s where we can help! Using a storage unit means your things are safe with 24-hour CCTV, alarms, and smoke detectors. All you need to do is decide on the right storage unit size – whether you’re storing a spare room’s worth of items or just a cupboard-full, we have a unit for you. And, if you have any questions, our experienced team will be happy to help you. It's an affordable way to keep your items until you need them again. We all need extra storage space from time to time!
Once your room is free from clutter, thanks to your hard work and self-storage solution, it's time to turn it into the perfect nursery! Just think about this exciting process of getting ready for your baby to come. First, choose where the cot should go — place it away from windows and cold drafts and in a place you can get to easily. Then, consider picking some gentle colours that will give you a feeling of calmness and a cosy atmosphere. Finally, try to keep the balance between making it look nice and cosy and being practical. This way, your baby's room will be a place where both of you love spending time.
Babies grow up fast, and in the blink of an eye, they will outgrow their clothes and all the accessories you bought right at the start. Again, this is why keeping your space clear is so important! Here, self-storage can be your best friend as you can keep baby clothes, toys, and other things neatly packed away until you need them again. It's perfect for when you're saving things for a younger sibling.
Storing outgrown baby items has its emotional perks, too. Your baby’s first time rolling over, sitting up, or taking their first steps - think about all these emotional moments! Each piece holds a story you might want to share with your children as they age.
As the years roll by, your family changes and grows. As your little ones grow into big kids, your home needs to grow with them, too. So, with this in mind, consider self-storage to help with these family-life changes.
Picture this: it's been a few years, and now your kids are in school. You've got science projects, sports kits, and all sorts of new treasures to keep. Suddenly, those baby clothes and cots are swapped for football boots and school papers. Or maybe your family starts going camping? Where would you store your gear? With our Kangaroo Self Storage, changing your storage plan is easy. You can upsize or downsize your unit without a fuss. It's like your storage can grow just like your family does. Even if you find yourself moving house, we have the storage for you.

Self-storage is advantageous no matter what time of year. It allows us to make space during renovations and redecorations, store bulky and expensive items, and shield outdoor belongings from the elements. But is this more useful during the winter when the weather is harsher and protecting items becomes a necessity?
We’re helping to answer this by looking into whether winter is the best time of year to take advantage of self-storage. We’ll be exploring all the benefits of self-storage during the colder months and how Kangaroo Self Storage can help you store through winter.
In short, it depends on the items and where they’re stored when not in self-storage. If you have belongings, such as outdoor furniture, which require protection from the elements during the brutal British wintertime, then yes, their storage is more important than during summer.
Additionally, winter is often when home renovations take place, whether in time for Christmas or as a New Year’s resolution, and this is a perfect reason for using self-storage during the colder months.
On the contrary, people need self-storage all year round, whether for storing surplus stock, protecting their vehicles, or keeping confidential documents, so you could argue that just because it’s winter, it doesn’t mean storing becomes more important.
Ensuring you’ve prepared your home for winter before the cold weather hits is crucial. Here’s a checklist of maintenance to consider and how self-storage can assist:
Christmas is undoubtedly the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also be a period of chaos and clutter if you’re not prepared. With winter being a popular time for home renovations and improvements before the festive season, self-storage can be a lifesaver. Not only can you make room for your decorations, but you can also store your belongings in a secure, clean space while you make those much-needed changes in your home.
During the winter months, it’s typical to see a surge in interior design projects and renovations that aim to refresh and upgrade living spaces. From installing new flooring or repainting walls to upgrading kitchens or bathrooms, self-storage can provide the temporary solution you need to store your furniture and valuables securely. This way, you won’t have to worry about them getting damaged, and you can focus on your project with peace of mind.
Kangaroo Self Storage offers flexible, secure, and well-maintained storage units that cater to your varying needs during the hectic winter season. Whether it’s making room for a new home office setup, decluttering before the arrival of houseguests, or embarking on that major remodelling project, our self-storage facilities can accommodate your possessions and ensure their safety.
Also, our self-storage units prove immensely beneficial not just during the decorating process but even after the festivities. As you prepare to take down the fairy lights and pack away the tinsel, consider using self-storage as a convenient place to keep your Christmas decorations until the next festive season arrives. This will not only free up valuable living space but also save you the hassle of searching for a suitable spot to stash your decorations all year round.
Winter, specifically Christmas, is a time of year when family and friends gather together. If it’s your turn to host the in-laws, you may look at your home and wonder where you’ll fit everybody. With self-storage, you can transform your home office or gym into the perfect spare bedroom without worrying about where you will put your desk and chair or running machine during their stay; just give them to us until your relatives have gone home!
Make your guests feel at home this Christmas and give them space to relax with our help.
If you enjoy spending time in the garden, you probably have all the furniture and outdoor items to make your garden your paradise. However, many of these items cannot handle the British wintertime and will rust, rot, or grow mould in cold, wet weather. Self-storage is the answer! Don’t clutter your garage with mountains of outdoor chairs, tables, and parasols; let us take them off you and protect them from the elements until the sun shines again.
Planning a winter getaway? Use self-storage to declutter and secure your belongings. From leisure equipment to important documents, safely store items in our flexible, cost-effective units while you jet off to avoid the British wintertime. With a variety of sizes, we cater for all needs. Whether you’re clearing your personal belongings out of your house to rent it while you’re away, or you just need to store a few valuable items you don’t want to leave in an empty house, we have what you need. Rest easy knowing your possessions are protected while you’re away, and enjoy your travel knowing we’ve got the practicality of your storage needs covered.
Shopaholics, come clean – do you have a winter and a summer wardrobe? If the answer is yes, you may have found that your summer clothes become a burden during the winter and vice versa. Use our wardrobe boxes available from the Box Shop and store your seasonal clothing with us, leaving your home a sanctuary of calm and relaxation, not overcrowded with clothes.
Here at Kangaroo, we have self-storage stores across the country, so you’re never too far away. Visit our:

Keeping track of important business documents can be daunting, whether you’re a small business owner or part of a larger organisation. However, with the right strategies, storing business documents can become a simple and stress-free process.
Here, we’ll explore effective strategies for storing business documents, including the benefits of utilising our fantastic self-storage solutions. Whether you’re looking to store financial records, legal documents, or inventory lists, we’ve got you covered! Stay tuned to learn how to optimise your business document storage with the help of Kangaroo Self Storage.
Organising and storing business documents may not seem like the most glamorous task, but it’s of utmost importance for several reasons; let’s take a look:
Now that we have established the importance of organising business documents, let’s explore some effective storage strategies.
Storing documents properly and systematically can significantly improve efficiency and productivity. One of the best ways to do this is by utilising our business self-storage units here at Kangaroo. Our units give you the blank canvas you need to organise your documents properly, but what is the best way to sort your documents? Here are a few strategies to consider:
Start by categorising your documents based on their type, purpose, or any other logical classification. Common categories may include financial records, contracts and agreements, employee files, marketing materials, and customer information. Once categorised, label each storage box or folder clearly to ensure easy identification.
Invest in quality storage boxes or filing cabinets to keep your documents neat and organised. Storage boxes are great for archiving older or less frequently accessed documents, but just ensure the boxes are sturdy and properly labelled for easy access and safe storage. If you’re struggling to find suitable storage boxes, fear not! At Kangaroo, our Box Shop sells a wide range of boxes and packing materials to help you get your documents in check.
Creating a document index or inventory is a valuable tool for efficient document retrieval. The index can be in the form of a spreadsheet or database, listing the document categories, dates, and locations. This will save time and reduce frustration when searching for specific documents, especially for high-demand businesses such as solicitors, which will need quick access to forms and other information.
One of the best ways to stay organised is to review your documents periodically to determine which can be archived or disposed of. Some documents may need to be retained for legal or compliance purposes, while others may have expired or become outdated. Archiving older documents allows for more space in your storage unit and reduces clutter.
While implementing effective document organisation strategies is essential, having adequate storage space is equally important, which is where we can help. Kangaroo Self Storage offers a range of business storage units that cater specifically to the needs of businesses across Scotland and North West England.
One of the primary concerns when it comes to storing business documents is security. Kangaroo’s business storage units are equipped with top-notch security measures, including 24-hour CCTV surveillance, burglar alarms, and smoke detectors. These measures ensure the utmost safety and protection for your valuable and sensitive documents.
In addition to providing secure storage, the team here at Kangaroo prioritises convenience and accessibility. Some of our business storage units offer drive-up access, making loading and unloading documents easy, regardless of how many filing cabinets you plan to store! With our centrally located facilities, free parking, and 24/7 access, Kangaroo ensures that accessing your stored documents is both convenient and efficient.
When it comes to pricing, Kangaroo Self Storage is committed to offering competitive rates. We guarantee the lowest prices in the area and are willing to match any competitor’s price. This commitment to affordability allows businesses of all sizes to access high-quality storage solutions without exceeding their budget. With transparent pricing and no hidden fees, we provide businesses with an affordable and reliable storage option for their documents.

As leading self-storage providers across Scotland and North West England and with almost 20 years of experience in the industry, we at Kangaroo Self Storage know the value self-storage units can provide. However, we understand that if you’re running a business, there’s so much to consider, and you may not be aware of just how much self-storage can help you out.
Whether you’re starting a new company, expanding your existing business, or just fancy a change of workplace scenery, you can use self-storage units as office spaces to enhance your working life. This serves as an advantage for many reasons, which is exactly what we’re looking into in today’s blog.
Utilising business self-storage offers a range of benefits; let’s take a look.
Renting a traditional office space can be expensive, especially in prime locations like city centres. However, self-storage unit rental fees are generally more affordable than leasing traditional office space, freeing up vital funds businesses can use to grow and expand operations. Not only this, but you still get that crucial prime location. For example, our business storage in Edinburgh is located just off the Edinburgh City Bypass (A720) in Sighthill, meaning you won’t need to travel far out of the city centre to reach your storage unit.
Open-plan office areas, a standard feature in traditional office spaces, don’t offer the same privacy level as self-storage units. Utilising a self-storage unit as office space provides a private and secure environment free from interruptions or disturbances, creating an environment conducive to work. This is ideal for all businesses, especially those in a transitional phase, whether starting out or expanding. Focusing on your company is crucial for a smooth transition, and working in a quiet, private space ensures you get this.
Self-storage units can be rented for shorter periods than traditional office space. This allows businesses to avoid long-term commitments and offers greater flexibility, which is useful if a business requires a temporary office space or is testing the water before committing to a long-term lease.
For example, at Kangaroo, our minimum chargeable storage period is fourteen days, but you can use our storage units for as short a time as you wish. This is just because we require fourteen days’ notice of your intention to leave. In terms of how long you can stay, we’re happy to have you for as long as you need! Whether it’s a few weeks to settle in your new business venture or you’re looking for a permanent relocation, you can stay.
Decluttering your workspace is essential to improving productivity. Utilising a self-storage unit as an office space provides an excellent solution for businesses seeking to organise their space and remove excess clutter.
As well as this, we offer decluttering storage as standard at Kangaroo, so if you’re relocating to work in one of our storage units but also need some extra space to store your belongings, you can do both!
Now we’ve discussed the advantages of utilising self-storage units as office space, let’s explore the process of creating that space and making it the perfect working environment.
The first step in creating a self-storage unit office space is to find one that meets your needs. At Kangaroo Self Storage, we offer many different unit sizes, so we’re sure to have one perfect for you. To select the best size, consider how you plan to use the unit. Will you be alone working on a laptop? Do you plan to invite customers or clients for meetings? Will the storage unit also act as a workshop or stockroom?
Don’t forget once you’ve decided on what you believe to be the best size, you’re not tied down to that unit. You can up-size or down-size whenever you need to; just let us know, and if we have the availability, we’ll be more than happy to let you switch.
Once you’ve chosen the perfect unit, the next step is to design your office space. To really make this space your own, we recommend drawing up a floor plan. Plan the placement of your furniture, electrical equipment, and any storage shelving you may need. For optimum productivity, consider the position of your chair and desk, ensuring the chair can be fully pushed under the desk, and your monitor corresponds with your eye level. If you’re working with one of our smaller storage units, every inch matters, so plan carefully to avoid the space becoming overcrowded.
When it comes to furnishing your office, simplicity is key. As you’ll be using this space for work, you’ll likely spend a lot of time here, so making it as comfortable as possible is important. Choose furniture that is both functional and practical based on the design of the room. Ensure that the furniture fits perfectly in the space and achieves the desired look, again, without becoming too overcrowded.
If you’re looking for all the benefits of our storage units but with the added advantage of being purpose-built for work, why not opt for our office spaces? It's the perfect solution if you're moving offices or need a short-term base, just like our storage units, but with the additional plus of being built for purpose. So, with this in mind, you get:
And don't forget that storage space and mailbox rental options are also available for those who still need extra space and a safe space for mail to be delivered. Interested? We have limited availability, so make sure to get in touch as soon as possible to speak with our team and secure your unit.

Hybrid working has become incredibly popular in recent years and is changing how businesses think about office space and what they need to maintain their work remotely. With more people working remotely, there's less need for traditional office spaces, as many employers look for more flexible alternatives to match their team’s needs. As a result, how we choose and use our workspaces is evolving.
So, in this blog, we'll explore how self-storage effectively solves this need, particularly for those needing office and home business storage.
Businesses of all sizes are adapting to the hybrid working model to save costs associated with office space rental and increase employee morale. However, hybrid workers with home offices will quickly find it cluttered, as working from home requires finding space for files, books, and equipment while still being able to concentrate.
By reducing office space, companies save tens of thousands of pounds a year, which is especially significant for small or home businesses struggling to afford these costs.
Here are some key things to consider when it comes to workspaces in the hybrid working era:
Many business owners are unaware of the significant potential of using a self-storage unit as an office. It's not limited to inventory or equipment storage; our storage facilities are also an alternative workspace or a base for freelancers.
At Kangaroo Self Storage, as well as our self-storage units, we offer adaptable office spaces that provide businesses with high flexibility and convenience. One of the key advantages of renting offices from Kangaroo Self Storage is the flexibility we offer through our short-term lease commitments. Take advantage of our flexible leases with a 4-week commitment, minimising risk for start-ups and providing a perfect short-term base for those moving offices. Quickly adapt to changing needs or market conditions without being tied to long-term contracts.
In addition, our "pay as you go" basis enhances the flexibility of our storage offices. Scale up or down your office space requirements as needed and easily expand your office space within our storage facility as your business grows.
We understand how important it is for businesses to stay connected to the internet. That's why we provide free Wi-Fi as standard at all our sites, including our serviced offices at our Altrincham, Edinburgh, and Liverpool locations. Whether working on a project, collaborating with colleagues, or communicating with clients, our complimentary Wi-Fi ensures fast and reliable connectivity.
We also understand the importance of having access to power outlets. That's why our serviced offices are fully equipped with power plugs, so you can easily charge your devices and stay connected throughout the day. This allows businesses to operate smoothly and efficiently without worrying about running out of battery or losing connection.
We offer a range of amenities and facilities to further enhance your experience at our Kangaroo facilities. All our serviced offices are in defined areas within our storage centres, so they're separate and easy to access. For example, our locations provide free parking, so you don't have to worry about finding a spot for your car. We also offer a meeting room facility at our Altrincham location, providing businesses with a dedicated space to host client meetings, brainstorming sessions, or collaborative work.
It’s difficult to cultivate a positive atmosphere or collaboration when running a hybrid or a home business; the isolation can make everyone feel disconnected from their colleagues. Additionally, any face-to-face client meetings will become increasingly difficult to organise when everyone is working from their residences.
Therefore, rentable office space is crucial in promoting these connections between clients and businesses and fostering collaboration among employees, as they all have access to a shared workspace. Our serviced offices at our Altrincham, Edinburgh, and Liverpool locations are simple, affordable, and easily accessible.
At Kangaroo, we embrace hybrid working and pride ourselves on offering excellent business storage solutions for our customers. Our storage experts are always on hand to answer your questions and help wherever we’re needed. You can visit our storage stores and rentable office spaces at these locations:
