We all dream of living in that Pinterest-worthy, Airbnb-worthy house, filled with pretty furniture and not a shred of clutter to ruin the aesthetic. And we try to achieve that, with storage hacks and space-saving furniture. But given that most of us face the task of storing an entire lifetime’s worth of belongings within 1,300 sqft or less, it’s not easy to prettify the space without decluttering.
If you can’t bear to toss out your beloved belongings Marie Kondo-style, here are some storage spaces in Singapore to consider. These out-of-home storage options come in various sizes, high security and even valet services to help you “hide” the old but valuable whilst hitting all your #homegoals.

Storage space rental has become increasingly popular especially in Singapore since most of us have limited space in our homes. You can use these spaces to store almost anything you want – from excess household items to even large pieces of furniture.
Storage spaces can also be used by businesses to keep extra inventory. However, there are some things which aren’t allowed such as chemicals, radioactive materials, hazardous substances – you get the picture.
The pricing of each storage unit is heavily dependent on various factors – the storage facility, the size that you’re renting, and the duration of your rental. Generally, for most of these facilities, the longer you store your items, the lower the rates. The size of these rental spaces range from a box’s worth of storage space to the equivalent of a bedroom.
Although you are paying money for the space, you aren’t allowed to do anything you want with it. This means that you aren’t allowed to live there or set up your office. The space should solely be used for storage purposes only.
For storage solutions sans humidity and nuisance, try Lock+Store. With 14 locations across the island, the company offers plenty of personal and commercial safekeeping options.
At Lock+Store Chai Chee’s brand new air-con storage units, the modern and well-lit space is designed with wide aisles for easy navigation, as well as spacious loading and unloading bays and ample parking space. Plus, you’ll be able to use their trolleys, ladders, and pallet jacks for free.
As for the newly launched Lock+Store Kaki Bukit, besides all air-con self-storage units, the outlet also has display lockers so you can showcase your collectibles and products.
On top of that, Lock+Store Chai Chee, Lock+Store Ayer Rajah, and Lock+Store Tanjong Pagar also double up as free goods dropoff and pickup points. That way, business owners won’t have to rush down to receive their goods and can focus on growing their business.
