Planning for a home revamp project to spruce up the look and refurbish some parts of the home where it is showing signs of wear and tear? During this home revamp period, there are several things you should note and prepare accordingly so that the cleaning process after the project can be less tiring. Here are five tips to help you prepare for a home revamp project.

  1. Start decluttering

Before locking down the final dates of the revamp process, you should take some time to declutter your home. Clear out the areas that you plan to refurbish. These areas usually get very dusty, and the workers will move in and out frequently, so clear out as many things as you can to provide more walking space.

Start your decluttering journey by cleaning, throwing and donating your items according to their condition. If you have items in good condition, consider donating them through various organisations.

  1. Pack everything in boxes and label them accordingly

After disposing of items, pack the remaining ones in boxes. It’s important to label the boxes appropriately so that you know what’s in each box, making unpacking easier.

During this period, you can also explore renting a self-storage unit to store boxes, furniture pieces, and seasonal items that you rarely use but are still in good condition. There are many self-storage facilities in Malaysia, and you can rent a unit near your home or one that has the best storage deal.

Before signing any storage contract, it is always good to visit the storage location to see its various on-ground features, such as security, accessibility, storage size availability, and storage plans. By renting a self-storage unit, you’ll be able to protect fragile items and keep more items away from dust during the home renovation period.

If you’d like to find out more storage information, you can always visit Extra Space Asia Self Storage during operating hours or give us a call at 1300 22 0288.

  1. Put up dustproof covers around your home

During the home revamp period, your entire home will inevitably become dusty and messy due to the construction work and hacking actiFvities to remove the older items in your home. To minimise dust contact with your furniture items or boxes, try to put up as many dustproof covers as possible around your home and on items that you wish to protect from dust.

Ensure that the tapes are used to cover all areas and tall cabinets so that dust will not penetrate the covered area. For fragile items like glassware and television sets, put some bubble wrap around them before covering them up.

  1. Look for alternative accommodations

During the home revamp period, your home may become too dusty and dirty to stay in, with daily hacking and drilling activities. To top it off, you might not have direct access to your home toilet too.

Therefore, it’s best to look for alternative accommodations during this period. You can search for hotels that might offer good deals or stay with family members or friends. Do note that you may need to visit your home once in a while during the renovation period to check on the progress or speak to workers.

  1. Engage professional cleaning company

Once the home revamp project is successfully completed, the workers can assist you in removing the dustproof covers first. The dustproof covers and protection sheets may not completely protect all parts and furniture from getting dusty and dirty. Therefore, some dust may still be present, and you’ll need to clean the newly renovated areas of your home, including the newly constructed toilets, floor tiles and walkways.

If time is tight, consider getting help from a professional cleaning agency to give your home a deep clean-up after this home project. This will help to get rid of the first layer of hard-to-clean dusty areas and spots.

If you’re new to the idea of self-storage, it provides individuals and families with extra space to rent and keep their personal items. Depending on your storage needs, self-storage providers like Extra Space Asia offer a wide range of storage units, ranging from as small as 11 sqft to as big as 260 sqft. Customers can also choose to store long-term or short-term, which can be a cost-effective approach. Here are some common items you can store in a self-storage unit to enjoy more space at home.

  1. Furniture

If you’re planning to do a home renovation or in the midst of a home transition and looking for a safe and secure storage space to store all of your furniture pieces, family, and personal items, the idea of self-storage could be a great solution for you. By choosing self-storage providers like Extra Space Asia, you can enjoy a safe and secure storage space with the flexibility of storing your furniture and various items for as short as 14 days to as long as you need. This will be an economical option for accommodating the extra items while you stay with a friend or family member during this period.

After your home renovation or home improvement project, you can also explore the option of downsizing your storage unit to store items that you rarely use in your new home or your business items if you are working from home or own a business. This will allow you to enjoy more space at home and in the office.

  1. Personal Collection

For those running out of space at home to store your growing personal collections of figurines, toys, books, etc., renting a self-storage unit might be a good option to explore.

By storing your growing personal collection with Extra Space Asia, you will not only enjoy more space to grow your personal collection but also a safe and secure storage space where you can visit to admire your collection any time, any day! At Extra Space Asia, we offer air-conditioned storage units. Thus, if you are planning to pack your items or admire your personal collection, this is a good storage option to consider! By storing your items in a mini storage facility such as Extra Space Asia Self-Storage, you will be provided with a unique PIN to access the air-conditioned storage area. For added protection, only the storer has access to the storage unit. Even our Customer Service Executives do not hold any keys to the lock on the storage unit.

  1. Seasonal Items and Decorations

Most seasonal items and decoration pieces are only used occasionally in a year and can take up quite a lot of storage space at home. Thus, these are common items that one will plan to store in the storage unit as you will still be able to access them when you need them, and they will not take up so much space at home too. Simply box up all of your Christmas decorations, cling-wrap your Christmas tree, and place your thick seasonal clothes in clean, labelled plastic boxes so that you will know where to find them when you need them.

If you need any packing items, such as boxes, you can easily purchase them at any Extra Space Asia storage facilities’ Box Shop during the operational hours.

If you have any storage queries, feel free to contact Extra Space Asia Self-Storage at 1300 22 0288 or you can also drop by our facilities to have a personalised storage facility tour.

Packing your personal and home items for the upcoming relocation project? When you have multiple items to pack, using sturdy boxes and labelling them clearly is essential. Here are three box-packing tips to make the process easier:

  1. Fill boxes to capacity but avoid over-packing

Partially filled or over-packed boxes can tip over or collapse when stacked during the move or storage. It’s important to find the right balance. It might also be dangerous to lift the boxes up during the move as the items might fall out due to the heavy weight.

If a box becomes too heavy but still has empty space, you can fill the gaps with packing paper or bubble wrap to prevent items from shifting. This will ensure that the items do not move around during the moving process.

  1. Use sturdy and high-quality storage boxes 

When relocating, there are bound to be plenty of items that you will have to pack for the move. Opt for sturdy, good-quality storage boxes to ensure your items remain in good condition throughout the moving process. Consider using double-ply boxes for added durability.

If you are using a moving service company, you can always check in with them to see if they offer complimentary boxes and packing materials to pack your items. This will be more convenient as you do not need to purchase from another place and incur additional delivery charges to deliver the packing items to you.

When packing items with multiple parts, dismantle them and store the smaller parts in boxes. Double-tape the box’s base to ensure that it is strong enough to hold the items in the box.

  1. Protect all fragile items with bubble wrap and packing materials 

Safeguard delicate glassware and furniture pieces by wrapping them in bubble wrap or packing materials. These extra layers of protection will help prevent damage during the move and storage.

For items like photos, place them in plastic containers to keep them safe. As these items are made of paper, they can be easily destroyed by water damage. Thus, by storing them in a tight plastic container, not only will you be able to see the content easily, it will also protect them from water damage. Another perk about clear containers is that you will be able to see the content clearly. In this case, you can also try to organise the photos by indicating the year and photo details on the boxes for reference. If you plan to store these temperature-sensitive items, besides storing them in an air-conditioned storage unit, it would be good to also let your self-storage provider know so that they can advise you further if needed.

For items that are odd shapes that do not fit into any boxes, you can use bubble wrap with stretch film to protect them during the relocation process.

How to store your boxes in a storage unit?

Planning to move these boxes to a storage unit? Remember to label them so that you do not need to open up all of the boxes just to find one item. When stacking the boxes, start with heavy or bulky boxes to create a solid base. To maximise space, try to stack similar-sized boxes together. This organisation will make accessing items in the future much more convenient.

If you need more sturdy boxes or packing materials like tape and bubble wrap, you can always visit any Extra Space Asia Self Storage facilities to purchase them in their box shop. The box shop is open during the storage facility’s operation hours from Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm and Saturday, 9am to 1pm. Feel free to visit, and the staff on duty will be glad to assist you. If you would like to learn more about the various self-storage solutions that Extra Space Asia offers, you can always send them a Whatsapp at +601135574662 .

The idea of eliminating clutters and chaos can be daunting as it takes up quite a lot of time and effort, especially for those living with other family members and kids. Thus, one will need a lot of motivation to start the decluttering process. For a start, consider trying these three steps!

1. Ask your friends and family members for help

We all need second opinions for some matters. In this case, it does not hurt to ask your friends or family members to lend a helping hand and eye to check and see if there is any value or use for the items in your home so that you can plan what to do with them. Schedule a date with your friends and start the process of decluttering. Having an extra pair of hands will also be great if you are on a tight deadline to clear your items for upcoming relocation or renovation plans.

2.Tackle it step by step

If you plan to declutter your home, you can choose your battles of either starting with the space or room with the most clutter to declutter or the room with the least items so you can improve the storage. By choosing your rooms, you can also be mentally prepared to do it and not be too overwhelmed by the mess or things you have to clear.

To eliminate the clutter and chaos, you can also split the various rooms with your family members staying in the same home. In this case, the owner of the room will be the one clearing up their room as they are in a better position to figure out what is needed to throw, donate or keep.

3.Decide what to keep, store, donate and discard

Before packing your home, prepare some trash bags and boxes for items you wish to donate or throw away. Remember to label the bags so that they will be handled correctly. If you need boxes, you can purchase them from Extra Space’s Box Shop.

As for big-ticket items or your growing collections, which you plan to keep, you can explore the idea of renting a self-storage unit. Before storing your items in the storage unit, you can pack all of your items in boxes or transparent plastic cases with labels so that you will know what you will be storing in the storage unit and also be able to estimate the storage size required. The perk of having a storage unit is that you will be able to enjoy more space to grow your collection and more space to enjoy your home with your family.

If you are new to the idea of storage, you can always contact Extra Space Self-Storage at 1300 22 0288, and we will be glad to assist.

Travelling is exciting, but storing luggage between trips is often less convenient than people expect. Suitcases, cabin bags, backpacks, and travel accessories can quickly take up valuable room at home, especially if you travel often or live in a smaller space. For many people, the problem is not just packing for the next trip. It is finding a reliable place to keep luggage when it is not being used.

That is where a luggage locker Malaysia solution can help. Instead of leaving bags in bedrooms, hallways, storerooms, or spare corners, you can keep them in a secure and organized space until you need them again. For people looking for locker storage Malaysia options, the goal is usually simple: free up space, keep belongings protected, and make sure luggage stays accessible when the next trip comes around. Extra Space Malaysia’s current luggage storage page already positions the service around flexible rental duration, multiple storage sizes, and a secure storage environment, which makes it relevant for luggage-related storage needs.

Why Luggage Storage is Becoming More Relevant in Malaysia

Luggage storage is no longer just something travellers think about at airports or transport hubs. As homes become more space-conscious and travel becomes more common, more people need a practical way to store suitcases and travel gear for longer periods. A short-term luggage locker may work for a few hours, but it is often not the best fit if you need storage for weeks or months.

That is why interest in locker storage Malaysia has grown beyond transit use. Some people need a temporary place to keep luggage between house moves. Others need a longer-term setup while studying, relocating, or travelling frequently for work. In these situations, luggage storage is less about short-term convenience and more about creating extra room at home without getting rid of useful belongings. Competitor pages in Malaysia also frame luggage storage around personal travel needs and practical space-saving use cases, not just airport-style drop-off services.

Who Should Consider Luggage Locker Malaysia Options?

A luggage locker Malaysia solution can be useful for a wide range of people. Frequent travellers are an obvious example. If you fly regularly for work or leisure, luggage can become permanent clutter when it is not being used. Keeping it stored elsewhere helps free up room while still making it easy to retrieve before your next trip.

Students are another strong fit, especially during semester breaks or accommodation changes. Instead of carrying multiple bags back and forth unnecessarily, they can use locker storage Malaysia options to keep luggage safely stored until it is needed again. Expats and returning residents may also benefit when moving between countries or homes. Families, too, often accumulate multiple suitcase sets, children’s travel bags, and holiday gear that only get used occasionally but occupy space all year round.

Luggage Locker vs Longer-term Storage: What is the Difference?

Not every luggage storage option serves the same purpose. A typical luggage locker is often associated with short-term use, such as a few hours before hotel check-in or between appointments. That setup works when convenience is the priority and the storage period is brief.

However, if you need to store more than one or two bags, want extra room for travel accessories, or need a more flexible time frame, a broader locker storage Malaysia solution can be more practical. Instead of being limited to a fixed small locker for a short duration, you can choose a setup that better fits the amount of luggage you actually need to store. Extra Space Malaysia currently highlights flexible storage periods starting from 14 days, along with multiple unit sizes, which supports longer and more practical luggage storage needs.

What to Look for in a Locker Storage Malaysia Solution

When choosing locker storage Malaysia options, flexibility should be one of the first things to consider. Travel plans can change, and many people do not know exactly how long they will need storage. A useful luggage storage option should allow enough flexibility for short-term needs while still making longer arrangements practical when plans extend.

Storage size matters too. Some people only need enough space for a couple of suitcases. Others may need room for luggage, travel accessories, boxes, or seasonal items kept together. A better luggage locker Malaysia solution should not force every user into the same size or setup if their storage needs differ.

Security is also essential. If you are storing luggage and personal items, you want a place that feels safe and well managed. Extra Space Malaysia states that its facilities include 24/7 CCTV monitoring, PIN-code access and control systems, on-site security personnel, and customer service support during operating hours. Those features make a strong difference for anyone comparing luggage storage options in Malaysia.

Access is another practical factor. A good storage solution should make it reasonably easy to store and retrieve items when your schedule changes. If a luggage storage option is too rigid or inconvenient, it may not solve the actual problem you are trying to fix.

Why Extra Space Malaysia is a Practical Choice

For people looking for luggage locker Malaysia options beyond a very short-term bag drop, Extra Space Malaysia offers a more flexible approach. Its current luggage storage page focuses on three main advantages: flexible storage duration, a wide range of storage sizes, and a safe and secure storage environment. Those are exactly the areas many users care about when comparing locker storage Malaysia solutions.

This makes it a practical choice for frequent travellers, students, expats, and families who want to keep luggage out of the way without losing access to it. Rather than treating luggage storage as only a few hours of temporary convenience, it becomes a smarter way to manage space at home over a longer period.

When Locker Storage Malaysia Makes More Sense

If your luggage is only used a few times a year, it should not have to take over your home the rest of the time. A locker storage Malaysia solution can help you stay organized, free up living space, and keep your bags ready for the next trip.

For people who need more flexibility than a standard short-term luggage locker, a luggage locker Malaysia option tied to secure and flexible storage can be a more practical fit. It gives you room for more than a single suitcase, works better for medium-term use, and helps keep travel belongings in one place instead of scattered around the house.

If you are looking for a more practical way to store luggage, bags, and travel gear between trips, Extra Space Malaysia offers a flexible storage option designed to support those needs.

 Are you starting or expanding your e-commerce business? As you navigate the initial phase and plan for growth, it’s essential to have an effective inventory storage plan.

While storing inventory at home may work for smaller quantities, a self-storage facility can provide the space you need for larger stock volumes. When selecting a self-storage facility for your business, consider these three important factors:

  1. Self-storage brand and location

With numerous storage providers available in Malaysia, it is important to narrow down your options. Research self-storage providers near your business location to find one that offers convenient access for storing, retrieving, and restocking your items.

If you are not sure where to start, you can google online to find out more. For example, if you are staying in Kuala Lumpur, you can search online and check out all of the self-storage providers in the area where your business is operating. This will save you time on traveling from storage company A to storage company B.

It is important to store with a company that is reputable and trustworthy as you are storing all of your business inventory with them. You would not want to worry all the time about losing your goods or losing your money once you have chosen a storage facility to store your items.

  1. Storage amenities and features 

When researching storage options, it is important to note that some providers require booking appointments before visiting their facilities. These facilities may be predominantly unmanned, so contacting them in advance is necessary. However, for customers, this can be inconvenient if immediate assistance is required.

To ensure a smooth experience, it’s recommended to personally visit the storage facility before committing to a unit. This visit will give you an idea of the facility’s offerings. For example, at Extra Space Asia Self-Storage facilities, you’ll find that the 24/7 CCTV monitored premises with staff available during operation hours from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm and Saturday, 9 am to 1pm. This provides peace of mind, knowing that your items are secure. Moreover, Extra Space Asia Self-Storage offers customers a unique PIN code for access, eliminating concerns about losing physical cards and potential penalties. Additionally, they provide free use of trolleys to easily transport your business inventory.

  1. Storage sizes and promotions 

Once you have narrowed down your choices to three storage facilities, it’s time to learn more about their storage sizes and rental costs.

Before visiting, make a list of the items you plan to store, including any odd-shaped or long items that may affect the required storage unit size. Share this list with the self-storage personnel during your visit or inquiry. They can recommend a storage size that suits your current needs.

After confirming the availability of suitable storage sizes, it’s worth inquiring with the storage provider about any discounts or promotions for long-term storage. Some facilities may offer extra perks for customers planning to store for over six months, so it’s beneficial to explore these possibilities.

For those seeking flexible storage options that allow for upsizing or downsizing based on their evolving needs, consider renting a storage unit at Extra Space Asia Self-Storage. They offer a wide range of storage sizes, from 11 sqft to 260 sqft, along with flexible storage terms. To learn more about their storage offerings, feel free to contact them at 1300 22 0288.

Nine months might seem like a long time, especially when you are expecting a new life. During this period, we understand that it can be stressful as you deal with this major transition, and part of the change is finding ways to prepare your home for the baby.

For new parents, you might be overwhelmed by what to get, and different parents will have different priorities. Thus, it is important to take your time to deal with one task at a time. Here are some things you can try to prep your home for the arrival of your little one.

  1. Prepare a baby room with the essentials

It would be good if you have a room for the baby so that you will have ample space to move around and also for your baby to sleep and play over time. You can start by checking the big ticket items such as baby cots/cribs, car seats, strollers, baby carriers, sanitisers, baby monitor, diapers, baby bath items, baby bottles and baby clothes. To extend the shelf life of the items, you can opt to purchase items that are more functional so that you can use them even as your baby grows.

For the baby’s essentials, you can also place them around your home instead of just one location so that you do not have to rush to the baby’s room whenever you need something. This will save you time and also the strength to move around.

  1. Babyproof your home

Take a careful look around your home for things that need baby-proofing. This can include moving your cleaning products and placing them on higher grounds. You would also need to find ways to secure your cabinets and doors that your baby can reach.

Next, avoid long curtains and hide your cables and cover the electrical supplies. Babies are naturally curious, and their hands might start to grab things within their reach. Thus, it is important to keep these items and cords out of the way so that they will not harm your baby as they crawl and move around your home. The act of baby-proofing can differ for every family, and it is up to the parents to prepare accordingly as every home layout is different too.

  1. Try to declutter and clean up your home

With the baby’s arrival, it might take a while for you to get used to it as you will have to cater to your baby’s needs first. This is why it is recommended to declutter and clean up your home first when you can. You can start by decluttering some parts of your home that will be a shared space for your baby and you. This will include your living room, bedroom etc.

If you have furniture sets, personal collections or even seasonal décor items and clothing that you do not wish to throw but lack the storage space at home, consider renting a self-storage unit near your home. This way, you can enjoy more space for your growing family by renting a storage space. With a new family member, it does not mean that you will have to give up your personal collection. You can always continue growing your personal collection with the help of an extra storage unit.

If you are new to self-storage, you can try storage providers such as Extra Space Asia Self Storage. The storage brand has been awarded Singapore’s favourite self-storage brand since 2018 and is a trusted brand in Singapore, with over 70 storage facilities in Asia. It is always good to visit the storage premise during operation hours from Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, Saturday, 9am to 1pm, to understand more and see the various storage offerings in person. Alternatively, you can always contact the storage facilities located in Kuala Lumpur at 1300 22 0288 to find out more storage information or simply visit the website to request for a complimentary web quotation to understand the pricing for the different storage sizes too.
