Wondering how to get all your stuff into your storage unit in Huntsville?  You are not alone.  At The Storage Neighbor, our customers are always asking for tips on how to maximize space inside their Huntsville storage unit.   We have lots of tips for making the most of your Huntsville storage unit.  But sometimes getting the most out of your Huntsville storage unit is about using the right sized box to store your stuff.

Didn’t really consider the box part of the equation did you?  Most people don’t.  Most people get all of their stuff packed, and then stand looking at their empty Huntsville storage unit wondering the best way to organize it.  At The Storage Neighbor, we recommend that before you even begin filling up your Huntsville storage unit, you start thinking about the boxes you are going to use.

Choosing the right size boxes will make a world of difference when it comes time to organize your Huntsville storage unit.  First, start by purchasing boxes of the same size.  This doesn’t mean that you can only use one size box.  Instead, choose boxes of several sizes, and then use multiples of those sizes. When you can stack many boxes of the same size together, it makes it much easier to organize your storage unit in Huntsville.  Using boxes of the same size will also maximize the space inside your Huntsville storage unit.

Small boxes are great for storing CDs, DVDs, books, home décor and other small items that tend to be heavy when packed.  Medium sized boxes are perfect for kitchen utensils, small appliances, software and shoes.  Larger boxes are best for pillows, blankets, toys and anything that is large and bulky.
