CHRISTMAS DECORATIO N AND SEASONAL STORAGE

As Christmas comes and goes, one of the biggest hassles can be storing Christmas Decorations and Seasonal goods! Using external storage solutions may be a way to help you optimise your space from year to year, only having your decorations around through the festive period. We have put this blog together to help you understand the benefits of using Christmas decoration and seasonal storage out with your property.

Christmas Decoration and Seasonal Storage for Businesses

If you are a business with a physical location, it is likely you will have a large tree. Along with this, there will be baubles and other ornaments to hang on the tree. Additionally, you might have other decorations around your office, store, restaurant, or other commercial property. These can take up a lot of space when it comes to storing them year-on-year!

As property prices in London and the South-East continue to rise, space becomes increasingly valuable. Using off-site self-storage solutions has become a popular way of optimising business space and storing Christmas decorations efficiently.

One of the most important factors to consider when looking into off-site self-storage solutions for Christmas decorations is flexible and cost-effective contracts. This helps keep margins as low as possible with the option to adapt as your business needs change. At Flexible Storage we give short-term rolling contracts which help keep costs to a minimum. You can also rent storage units when required, which is cost-effective for seasonal decoration storage. Our storage facilities also offer high levels of security, which gives you the peace of mind that all items are safe.

Christmas Decoration and Seasonal Storage for Personal Use

Christmas decoration and seasonal storage for personal use can become very difficult. This is especially true if you don’t have an attic or other large area for storage in your home because Christmas lights, artificial trees, garlands, and baubles can take up significant room. Many of us have experienced trying to cram everything into a cupboard at the start of January, hoping the pile won’t collapse and fall out on top of us!

One way that you can store Christmas decorations for your home is through flexible self-storage options. This means that you don’t need to think about decorations for the majority of the year, only having them in your property when they are required! You can then use your space efficiently, keeping hold of the items you need on a regular basis. Additionally, all items are held securely with effective measures in place to prevent damage or theft.

Another option you have for Christmas decoration and seasonal storage is grouping together with some friends or neighbours. You can then share the cost of a storage unit throughout the year. This is a great way of keeping your costs even lower!

Indoor Storage vs Container Storage: What’s the Difference?

By James Coxon • August 3, 2025

When it comes to finding extra space for your belongings, storage units are a reliable and flexible solution, whether you're moving house, renovating, running a business, or simply need to clear a bit of room at home. There are a few different types of storage to choose from, depending on your needs. But one of the first choices you'll come across is whether to go for indoor storage or container storage. You might have seen both options online and wondered what the difference actually is. Do you really need climate control? Is one more secure than the other? And which one offers better value? Let’s take a closer look at how the two compare and why container storage often comes out on top. What is Indoor Storage? Indoor storage units are based inside a large warehouse or purpose-built facility. You usually access them through a main reception or loading bay, then navigate your way through internal corridors (sometimes using lifts or trolleys) to get to your unit. These kinds of facilities are sometimes climate-controlled and can be a good option for anyone storing delicate or temperature-sensitive items, like vintage furniture, valuable artwork, or sensitive electronics that need extra care. They tend to offer a wide range of unit sizes, and security is usually high, with PIN codes, alarms and staff on-site. The trade-off? You’ll often pay more for the added features, and access isn’t always as quick or easy as you might like — especially if you’re trying to move larger items in a hurry or during busy hours. What is Container Storage? Container storage takes a simpler, more practical approach. The units are steel containers set in a secure, outdoor storage location, the same kind you might see on construction sites or at docks, but ours have only ever been used for personal or business storage. The biggest benefit? You can drive straight up to the door of your unit. No trolleys. No tight corridors. No lifts. Whether you’re loading a sofa or unloading stock for your business, the ease of access is a game-changer. Container storage units are also fully weatherproof and incredibly secure. At Flexible Storage, we use CCTV-monitored sites with PIN-coded gates, and all units are lockable with heavy-duty padlocks. Many of our customers also appreciate the extended opening hours or 24/7 access we provide, especially for tradespeople, business owners, or anyone with a busy schedule. How Do You Choose? It all depends on what you’re storing and how you plan to use your space. If you're storing particularly delicate or valuable items, like antiques or anything sensitive to temperature or humidity , some people may consider indoor units. That said, don’t discount container storage; many customers safely store a wide range of items with no issues. It really comes down to what feels right for you. But for most everyday storage needs like furniture, tools, excess stock, seasonal equipment, or items in between moves, container storage is more than up to the task. It’s easier to access, more cost-effective, and gives you plenty of space without the added frills (or fees) of an indoor facility. Why We Offer Container Storage Only We’ve focused entirely on container storage because we believe it gives our customers the best balance of value, convenience, and security. We’ve helped homeowners during renovations, supported students moving between terms, and provided local businesses with extra stock space — all through reliable, easy-to-access container units. You don’t need a fancy building or high-tech climate control to keep your items safe. You just need something that’s clean, dry, secure, and easy to get to. That’s exactly what we offer. If you’re not sure how much space you’ll need, check out our Unit Size Guide or speak to a member of the team; we’re always happy to help. You can also pop by one of our sites in Aveley , Grays , or Chelmsford to take a look at the units in person. When comparing indoor storage and container storage, it’s easy to get caught up in the bells and whistles. But sometimes the most straightforward option is also the most effective, but of course, not all container sites are the same. Flexible storage goes the extra mile. We operate clean, tarmacked or concrete yards. They all have monitored CCTV & lights. They all have PIN-coded gate access. If you want secure, no-fuss storage with the freedom to come and go when it suits you, container storage could be exactly what you need. Get in touch with us today to book a unit or ask us any questions; we’ll help you find the right solution, at the right size, for the right price.
