Furniture Storage
Furniture often makes up for the most bulky items within a property, meaning external furniture store options are often required. Storing large furniture pieces within storage solutions away from your property can free up a wealth of space within your home, helping you find the perfect layout for your home.
There are many eventualities which could lead to your needing to store furniture with us at Bingham Self Storage and we have many storage options to match your needs. From the living room, you may need to store sofas, chairs, tables or even bulky soft furnishings, while some homeowners need bathroom storage for baths, sinks and toilets while undergoing home improvements. You could also need to store beds and bedding during a house move, ready and waiting for you to have a good night’s sleep once you’re in your new home.
We’re confident our facility will be the perfect storage solution for your furniture, with 24/7 CCTV running round the clocks to keep your items safe and sound. There’s also easy access units which are ideal as a temporary furniture storage option.

Tips for Packing Furniture
We’re here to help you in any way we can. Since we run a storage facility, we have certainly learnt a thing or two about how to properly store your items and how to pack and protect furniture to sustain it from damage and for optimal storage.
Before you start packing, the best piece of advice we can give you is to be prepared and organised. Prioritise items that will need to be disassembled and take pictures, so you know what they look like. If you’re going to be putting items away for a couple months or longer, and they are disassembled, include the manuals.
Disassemble everything with caution, making sure not to damage anything. It is vital you keep safe any screws, fastenings and small furniture parts, like handles and legs, that have been removed. Put these together in a labelled bag for quick assembly.
Use our tips below to ensure furniture is protected during the moving and storage process.
- Use blankets or any old fabric to wrap around the furniture. Cover all areas of the furniture. This will help avoid any scratches or dents that may otherwise occur during moving.
- Pad with cardboard. Use cardboard to protect the edges of furniture that is liable to be bumped and knocked in the moving process.
- Cardboard is particularly effective at protecting glass surfaces, for example a table with a glass top, or a wardrobe or dresser with glass panels.
- Plastic bags, wrap and bubble wrap are often used whilst moving but we would not recommend storing items, especially soft furnishings or clothes in plastic.
This should keep your furniture insulated and protected from the inevitable strain and risks that moving brings. This is how we recommend you keep your bulkier furniture, and the same process can be replicated for pretty much anything you are putting into storage. Just adjust them as you see fit for your smaller items. E.g. putting bubble wrap on bar stool legs, padding boxes with newspaper, creating custom cardboard protectors for mirrors.
Other storage tips you may want to consider; store furniture above the ground and don’t overpack a storage unit. Piling heavy items on top of each other to cram more things into the facility will likely result in damage, put heavy items at the bottom and lighter items at the top. These tips will help you keep your furniture in its best condition.
