Moving to a smaller home?

Why choose a smaller home?

Many older people eventually decide to swap their parental home for a smaller, more practical property. There can be various reasons for this:

• Less maintenance: A large house requires a lot of upkeep, both in terms of cleaning and repairs. A smaller home is easier to manage.
• Lower costs: A smaller property often means lower monthly expenses, such as energy bills and local taxes.
• Increased safety: Senior homes are often adapted to the needs of older people, with, for example, ground‐level living spaces and wider doors for walkers or wheelchairs.
• Closer to family or care facilities: By living nearer to children or medical services, seniors can remain independent for longer.

However, such a move also presents a challenge: the available space is more limited, and not everything from the family home will fit in the new property.

What to do with surplus but valuable belongings?

It is not easy to let go of items with emotional value. Many older people do not want to simply discard their cherished furniture, photo albums or heirlooms. That is why renting a storage unit is a smart solution.

At Eurobox Self Storage we offer secure, flexible storage tailored to your needs. You can easily rent a storage unit of the desired size, without hidden costs or obligations.

Secure and flexible storage rental

A frequently asked question when moving to a smaller home is: “How much does it cost to rent storage?” This depends on the size and duration of the rental period. At Eurobox Self Storage we work with transparent pricing, without unexpected increases.

Advantages of renting storage at Eurobox Self Storage

How to choose the right storage unit?

Choosing the right storage unit depends on what you want to store. For instance, if you only have a few boxes of photo albums and books, a small unit will suffice. If you want to store larger furniture, such as a wardrobe or sofa, a more spacious unit is needed.

At Eurobox Self Storage we are happy to help you determine the correct size. Thanks to our flexible contracts, you can also easily switch unit sizes if needed.

Tips for organising your storage unit efficiently

• Use sturdy verhuisdozen: This prevents damage to fragile items.
• Label all boxes: This way you can quickly find what you need.
• Place heavy items at the bottom: Ensure a stable arrangement.
• Use shelves and racks: This helps to make optimal use of the space.

Temporary storage when selling your parents’ home

Many seniors sell their parents’ home and move temporarily to another property before they have found a permanent new place to live. This can mean that some belongings need a safe place for a while.

Our tijdelijke opslagoplossingen are perfect for these kinds of situations. You simply rent a storage unit for a few weeks or months, without being tied to long-term contracts.
