If cupboards are overflowing, the basement is full, and there is hardly any space left in the apartment, it does not have to mean moving right away. An additional storage room gives you the opportunity to store furniture, boxes, and other items safely and flexibly – without having to part with things you will need again later.
With an external storage room at IhrLagerplatz in Augsburg, you create space at home again while keeping everything within easy reach. Whether for a few weeks, several months, or longer: you rent exactly the storage space you need.
1. Your apartment is getting too small
Over time, many things accumulate: furniture, clothing, books, sports equipment, keepsakes, or household items. What initially still fits easily into cupboards and shelves eventually becomes a challenge.
Especially in smaller apartments, there is often a lack of an additional basement or sufficient storage space. An external storage room helps you move rarely needed items out and make your living spaces feel more open again.
Typical items you can store:
- Seasonal clothing and shoes
- Suitcases and travel bags
- Sports and leisure equipment
- Books and personal keepsakes
- Furniture and household items
This way, you can use your apartment again for what it is actually meant for: living and feeling comfortable.
2. A move is coming up or you need a temporary solution
A move often brings more space problems than you initially expect. Perhaps the new apartment is not yet ready to move into, you have to leave your old apartment earlier, or you need to bridge the gap between two living situations.
A storage room can also be useful when moving abroad or during a temporary professional change.
Instead of storing your furniture and boxes with friends or relatives, you can keep them in a suitable storage room. This keeps your items in one place and allows you to take care of your move in peace.
3. You are renovating or remodeling
During a renovation, furniture, electrical appliances, and personal belongings often need to be temporarily moved out of the way. This is especially true when several rooms are being renovated at the same time or extensive work is planned.
A storage room gives you the option to temporarily store your furnishings while also creating more freedom of movement on the construction site.
This is practical if you:
- are renovating or modernizing your apartment,
- are having new floors installed,
- are painting or redesigning walls,
- are replacing a kitchen,
- are remodeling or renovating your house.
Your furniture is not in the way and you can carry out the renovation work more calmly.
4. You want to store seasonal items
Not everything you own is needed all year round. Winter tires, garden furniture, bicycles, Christmas decorations, or camping gear take up a lot of space, even though they are only needed during certain seasons.
Instead of permanently filling the basement, garage, or attic with them, you can store seasonal items externally.
This creates order and ensures that you have more space at home for the things you are currently using.
5. Your family is growing
A child’s room is needed, another family member moves in, or the apartment needs to be reorganized. When life circumstances change, the need for space often increases as well.
At the same time, you may not want to part with furniture, toys, or personal items right away that you may need again later.
An additional storage room creates room to breathe without having to sell or dispose of cherished belongings.
6. Your hobby takes up too much space
Bicycles, skis, snowboards, tools, camping equipment, or musical instruments – many hobbies come with a lot of gear.
If these items are permanently in the apartment, space quickly becomes tight. A storage room can be a practical addition here.
You keep your equipment in one central place and create more space in your apartment again for everyday life.
7. You need additional space for your business
It is not only private individuals who need extra storage space. Self-employed people, tradespeople, and small businesses also often face the problem that goods, materials, tools, or files take up too much space in the office or business premises.
A commercial storage room can, for example, be used for:
- Goods and spare parts
- Tools and work materials
- Office furniture and business equipment
- Files and documents
- Promotional materials and trade fair stands
- Seasonal products and stock
At IhrLagerplatz, you can use different storage sizes depending on your needs – from a small unit to larger storage areas.
What storage room size do I need?
The right size depends on what you want to store and how much space your items require. The following examples provide an initial guide:
| Storage room size | Suitable for
| 1–3 m² | Boxes, files, suitcases, and smaller items
| 3–5 m² | Furniture and household items from a small room
| 5–8 m² | Furnishings from a small apartment or several pieces of furniture
| 8–15 m² | Household contents of a larger apartment
| 15–25 m² | Extensive apartment furnishings or commercial stock
The figures are approximate values. The size of your furniture, stackability, and the type of items are also decisive. If you are unsure, we will be happy to advise you on the selection.
