Think your apartment is overflowing–you have bike in hall, suitcases doubling as coffee tables. You do not have a monopoly on that. That is life in the city. In comes: 迷你倉. Mini storage is not simply a box with a padlock it is a save-your-skin.
There is the urban alternative of space to location. You do not need to stay in a castle, but want to live close to the MRT. What about your snowboard, photo albums and granny old-style dresser? Not where you live in your shoebox apartment, at any rate. Now you can have it all, 迷 careful flat and place to hide everything with 迸mini-warehouse.
One of my friends has shifted to a studio which was so crammed that she needed to jump over her bedside to get to the wardrobe door. This was the same week, she enrolled in mini storage when she discovered that her rice cooker was residing underneath the sink with the detergent. Instant relief.
Neither is it only about space. Others keep out-of-season clothes, corporate inventory or childhood mementos. Others? They use it as their archive- not having to rent out a second apartment.
And flexibility? Chef’s kiss. Lease a place on a monthly basis, a yearly basis or only until you get your act together prior to the arrival of your in laws. It is cheaper than expanding your homestead, and a lot less time consuming than dragging your furniture around like unwanted children.
City residents have a lot to deal with and space need not be one of their balls. Therefore when your furniture turns yoga poses to fit in or your closet becomes a high-stake game of Tetris, then 迷你倉 could be the trump card in your pocket. Put it away, forget it and ultimately breathe.
