Sometimes, the worst part about moving into a new house or apartment in Toronto is being surrounded by clutter and mess for months to come. Usually, not everything fits into your new space. And often, toys and books can't be put away until furniture is delivered or assembled. Don't let post-moving chaos take over your home. Here are three easy ways to organize your new space.
Get Rid of Empty Boxes
Boxes take up precious space, and they're a constant visual reminder of the mess you have to deal with. Start by flattening and recycling empty boxes as soon as you unpack them. But when it comes to special boxes for your TV, your computer, or any fragile items, make sure to save these in your basement or storage unit. You'll be glad you saved them the next time you have to pack or move those items.
Get Creative with Your Storage
If your new home has less storage space, then you really need to get creative. Use a vertical bike rack to get your bikes off the floor. If you don't have room for all your books, place small stacks of paperbacks behind larger books on each shelf. Use hanging racks or hooks inside cabinet doors to store things like oven mitts and cleaning brushes. And put stuffed animals and other soft toys into a large, mesh laundry bag to keep them in one place.
Don't Unpack What You Can't Put Away
If you're moving into a smaller space, the last thing you want to do is try to cram too much stuff into your new home. One option is to sell or donate things like extra furniture, guest bedroom sets, and old books or toys, or give them away to your friends and relatives. But perhaps the easiest and least stressful solution is to place these items in a storage unit. That way you can really decorate and spread out in your new space. Over time, you can decide what to do with the extra items that didn't fit.

Frequently Asked Self Storage Questions
What size storage unit is right for me?
Finding the right storage unit depends on the number of possessions you plan on storing at our facility. The more items you have, the more space you’ll need. At every Bluebird facility, we offer units ranging from below 5’ x 5’ to 10’ x 30’ or even larger, so you can find the right amount of storage space. To find the right unit size, explore our Storage Unit Size Guide or read this resource to see which unit fits your needs best.
Can I buy boxes and packing supplies at Bluebird?
Yes! If you’re about to move into a storage unit, our facility offers moving and storage supplies that help protect your belongings. Our supplies range from boxes, packing tape, mattress and furniture covers, and so much more!
How long can I rent a unit?
We don’t have any long-term agreements at Bluebird, so you can rent your unit for as little as a month or two or upwards of a year if you’d like! If circumstances change, we can always extend or shorten your storage stay with us.
How do I access my storage unit?
You, selected family, and any business associates can access your local facility by using our secure keypad entry using a personal security code. Individual units are protected by a lock that is only accessible by the customer. Only contacts you authorize will be able to access your unit.
Typical daily access hours are from 6AM - 11PM, so you can always access your stuff when you need it. Check with the location nearest you for more information about access hours.
