How to survive renovation without stress: a practical guide
Are you planning to renovate your apartment? Great, but be prepared - without good organization, you'll easily drown in chaos and clutter. One of the most common stumbling blocks is storing things. Here are practical tips on how to manage the renovation without unnecessary stress.
1. Planning is the key
Three steps before the start of the reconstruction:
- Sort your possessions: divide items into daily used, seasonal, valuable and bulky. This will help you estimate how much space you will need
- Map out the scope and schedule: which rooms will be renovated and when? Will you be living in the apartment or moving out?
- Don't forget your storage budget: allow for the cost of packaging material, transport and possible warehouse rental
2. Storage strategy during reconstruction
- Storage within the apartment - Suitable for room by room renovations. Designate one room as "storage" and label boxes consistently
- Keeping only the essentials - If you are staying in the apartment, keep only the bare minimum: bed, kitchen essentials, clothes and electronics
- Complete eviction - The best solution when renovating the entire apartment. More logistically challenging, but allows for a faster and cleaner workflow
3. Efficient organisation of space

4. External storage: the ideal solution
Self-service warehouses are a great solution when:
- You are renovating the whole apartment
- You don't have room at home
- You want to protect your valuables
Advantages:
- Flexible unit sizes and no obligation rentals
- 24/7 access
- You park right at the door of the unit
How to use the warehouse efficiently:
- Disassemble the furniture before storing it
- Make use of cavities (e.g. drawers, cupboards)
- Stack high, but safely
- Use the same size boxes for better stacking
Want to avoid the stress of mess, damaged items and lost time? Storage and organisation are the key to success in renovation.
