The holidays are full of joyful celebrations and treasured traditions like decorating the Christmas tree with your family. But when the new year comes and it’s time to pack everything up again, it can be tough to know what to do with all the decorations, lights and ornaments around your home. If you’re struggling to find space in your home or are looking for a stress-free solution, don’t worry. There’s better solutions than stuffing everything into a spare closet. Where Are You Currently Storing Your Holiday Decorations? If you’re like many people, you store all your boxes of holiday decorations wherever you have room: your garage, attic, basement or closets throughout your home. But while keeping boxes in your attic and garage gets decorations out of the way, these spaces are often less insulated than the rest of your home. This can expose them to extreme temperatures and humidity – both of which can be very damaging to sensitive items over time. Storing your decorations in closets is another option, but it can make your house feel disorganized and cramped. It can also get in the way throughout the rest of the year. So what’s a better, more practical option? A self storage unit, where you can keep all of your decorations organized and in one convenient location. Let’s take a look at all the reasons why holiday storage is a smart decision here in Tennessee.

Mount Juliet is one of the best places in Tennessee to live, work and play. Just a half hour’s drive east of Nashville, our safe, friendly suburb is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state. Whether you’re storing a seldom-used spare car, need a place to park a business vehicle or can’t bear to part with an old car, there’s no better or more convenient place than Mount Juliet to keep it safe. Let’s learn more about all the benefits of car storage, and how you can ensure your car is kept secure and in top-condition – no matter how long you store it. Create More Space at Home If you’re a homeowner with limited space, you’ll know what a pain it can be to navigate around a seldom-used car. Parking multiple vehicles at home can lead to a cluttered garage or driveway – and daily frustration. Parking your car on the street may seem like a better option to get it out of your way, but this leads to other problems. For one, your car is more at risk of damage parked on the street. Some HOAs may even forbid you from storing your car on the street long-term. That’s why storing that seldom-used vehicle in a storage facility is often the most practical solution. Car storage helps free up space at home, helping you keep your garage more organized. Plus, it’ll be easier to park your other cars every day. Top-Notch Security Features Even if you live in a very safe neighborhood, damage can occur. Passing traffic can cause unexpected accidents with cars parked on the street. Leaves, sap, dust and other natural debris from your yard can cause damage to the paint of your car. And unfortunately, there’s always the unlikely chance that an unsecured car may be vandalized or even stolen. No matter where you’re storing your car, chances are, security is one of your top priorities. Luckily, a quality car storage facility offers plenty of features to keep your car safe and protected from ...
