PREPARING FOR THE 4TH JULY

Drink anyone?


So this is it! After the government’s announcement allowing pubs, restaurants, hotels and hairdressers to reopen on the 4th July, is your business prepared?


Even though the Prime Minister has said that ideally, people should remain 2 metres apart, a 1 metre plus policy has been introduced. 


Dinner is served


Have you, as a restaurant or pub considered the impact on your current layout? In pubs and restaurants, it’s not just about leaving at least a 1m gap between tables, but you will also need to consider allowing space for people to pass between those tables. Perhaps heading to the bathroom or the bar. Will a one way system need to be introduced? 


With the new guidance suggesting that pubs and restaurants will all become table service, the spacing of your tables and chairs will become critical. Will you still adhere to the 2m policy, or try to get as many customers in as possible with the 1m plus rule?


More so than ever, your business is going to have a surplus of furniture.


Haircut Sir?


As a hairdresser, will you have to think about installing screens between clients, whilst also allowing you space to manoeuvre around them? Space in most salons is at a premium as it is, with workspace, reception space and rooms for your stock. What is going to happen with the additional chairs that will need to be moved out of the way for people to work safely?


Don’t feel the need to rush and sell your surplus furniture though.


At Flexible Storage Solutions, we have the space for you!

We can offer short-term rolling contracts, giving you the flexibility you need in these uncertain times. When social distancing rules are lifted further, you may require some of your stock back.

Rules and guidance for so many countries is constantly fluctuating, so we can help you by providing the space you need. We all have to hope one day that Covid-19 will be a thing of the past, allowing daily life to continue as it was before. But who knows if social distancing will be the new normality for so many of us. By renting storage space from us, you know your goods are in safe hands.

Explore  strategies and  advice for keeping your motor home tidy with the help of self-storage.
By Élise Beudet 08 May, 2024
Motorhomes can be a lot of fun! They allow you to travel at your own pace, wherever you want and with whomever you want. Just like the name suggests, they are a smaller version of your home you can travel with and go on adventures with. The only slight downside of them is the limited space they offer. They can definitely make managing space efficiently a bit tricky. So, whether you're hitting the road for a quick weekend getaway or planning an epic cross-country journey, making the most of your motor home's limited square footage is key to a comfortable and fun trip. Luckily, with a sprinkle of creativity and some savvy decluttering strategies, you can optimise your space and travel lighter than ever before. Here are some tips to help you declutter your motor home and keep your sanity intact: Sort Through Your Stuff Let's start by taking a friendly stroll through your belongings. Take a good look at what you've got and ask yourself, "Do I really need this?" Separate your must-haves from the nice-to-haves to streamline your packing process and create more room for adventure. Think Vertical In the cosy confines of a motor home, every inch counts. Get friendly with your walls by installing shelves, hooks, and organisers to maximise vertical space. This clever trick not only frees up precious floor real estate but also keeps your essentials within arm's reach. Choose Furniture Wisely When it comes to furniture, it's all about being friendly to your space. Opt for pieces that pull double duty, like a table with hidden storage or a sofa that moonlights as a bed. By choosing multifunctional furniture, you'll make your motor home feel friendlier and more functional. Downsize Your Wardrobe We all know that feeling of having too many clothes and nothing to wear. Keep your wardrobe fuss-free by packing only the essentials and embracing mix-and-match versatility. Bonus points for lightweight fabrics that play nice with limited storage space. Keep Decor Simple When it comes to decor, less is definitely more in the world of motor home living. Choose friendly decor items that serve a purpose or bring a smile to your face, and steer clear of cluttering up your surfaces with unnecessary knick-knacks. Think sleek storage solutions and space-saving goodies to keep things cosy yet clutter-free. Stay on Top of Maintenance A little friendly maintenance goes a long way in keeping your motor home shipshape. Take a few minutes each day to tidy up and put things back where they belong. By staying on top of maintenance tasks, you'll keep clutter at bay and maintain a welcoming atmosphere on your travels. Pack with Purpose Packing for a motor home adventure is all about thinking about your future self. Choose lightweight, multipurpose items that pull their weight on the road, and invest in space-saving travel gear like collapsible kitchenware and vacuum-sealed storage bags. With a friendly packing strategy, you'll be ready for whatever the road throws your way. Consider Self-Storage As you embark on your journey to declutter your motor home, consider the convenience and flexibility of self-storage. For items that you don't need on every trip but can't bear to part with, a self-storage unit offers the perfect solution. Whether it's seasonal clothing, bulky furniture, or sentimental keepsakes, self-storage provides a secure home away from home. With Flexible Storage, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your belongings are safe and accessible whenever you need them. So, as you streamline your motor home for lighter travels, let self-storage be your trusted travel companion. With these decluttering tips, you'll be well on your way to lighter, brighter motor home travels. Here's to making room for more memories and embracing the joy of the open road!
