When you’re moving house, downsizing, or renovating, finding a secure and convenient place to store your furniture can be challenging. Large, bulky items like beds, wardrobes, sofas, and dining tables are not easily accommodated by friends or family, even for a short while.
At Coventry City Storage, we provide the ideal solution with our clean, dry, and secure 20ft storage containers tailored for businesses and individuals. Whether you need short-term storage or a long-term solution, we’re here to make storing your furniture hassle-free.
Why Use Self Storage for Furniture?
Furniture storage comes with unique challenges. Furniture is often large, heavy, and sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. While storing it at home or in a garage might seem convenient, these options are rarely suitable for long-term preservation. Here’s why self-storage is a better choice:
Temporary Storage During Moves: If you’re between homes, self-storage provides a secure place to keep your belongings until you’re ready to move in.
Renovating or Redecorating: Protect your furniture from dust, paint, and accidental damage during home improvement projects.
Downsizing: Keep your cherished furniture safe for future use, whether for yourself or loved ones.
Combining Households: Moving in with a partner often means duplicate furniture. Store surplus items until you decide what to keep.
At Coventry City Storage, we ensure your furniture is stored in optimal conditions, protected from the elements, pests, and potential damage.

Our 20ft storage containers offer generous space for storing furniture, whether it’s a few items or an entire household’s worth.

Garages may seem like a convenient option, but they’re not ideal for furniture storage. Most garages are unheated and subject to fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels, which can cause severe damage to wooden and upholstered furniture. Here’s what you risk:
Wood Damage: Temperature changes can cause wood to expand and contract, leading to cracks or warping.
Upholstery Issues: Sofas, mattresses, and chairs are prone to dampness and mould in poorly ventilated spaces.
Pest Infestation: Garages are more accessible to pests that can chew through or damage your belongings.
For a safer alternative, our self-storage units provide a clean, temperature-controlled environment designed to keep your furniture in pristine condition.

Preparing Your Furniture for Storage
Proper preparation is key to ensuring your furniture stays in excellent condition while in storage. Follow these steps to prepare your furniture before moving it into one of our units:
1. Clean and Dry
Ensure all furniture is thoroughly cleaned and dried before storage. For wooden furniture, consider applying a protective oil to prevent cracking or drying out. For upholstered items, vacuum and clean them to remove dust and allergens.
2. Disassemble Large Items
Disassemble beds, tables, and other large pieces to save space and make transportation easier. Store screws and fittings in labelled bags to keep everything organised.
3. Protect with Wrapping
Use moving blankets, towels, or sheets to wrap furniture and protect it from scratches. Avoid using plastic wrap directly on furniture, as it can trap moisture and cause damage.
4. Use Pallets or Blankets
Place furniture on pallets or blankets to keep it off the floor, ensuring airflow and preventing scratches or dampness.
5. Organise Strategically
Place items you may need access to at the front of the unit. Store sofas upright to save space and keep fragile items on top to avoid crushing.
Long-Term Furniture Storage
If you’re planning to store furniture for an extended period, such as during a move abroad or while waiting for a new property, it’s important to take extra precautions:
Check for Existing Damage: Inspect your furniture for any existing damage and repair it if necessary to prevent it from worsening in storage.
Use Protective Covers: Invest in high-quality covers specifically designed for furniture storage.
Monitor Conditions: Visit your storage unit periodically to check on your furniture, particularly if it’s stored long-term.
At Coventry City Storage, we offer flexible storage contracts to suit both short-term and long-term needs. Discounts are available for extended stays, making it affordable to keep your furniture secure for as long as you need.
