Temporary Storage for Your Furniture — When Moving Out and Moving In Don’t Line Up

Your lease ends before your new home is ready, or you’re traveling for months, or you’re renovating. In these cases you don’t need a rushed decision — you need a safe temporary place that keeps your furniture until it’s time.

When do you need storage?

📅 A gap between two leases

Your lease ends weeks before the new home is handed over — the most common and most pressing case.

🔨 Renovation or maintenance

You need to clear the home so the workers can do their job freely, then bring the furniture back when they’re done.

✈️ Travel or study abroad

You’re away for a while and don’t want to pay rent on an empty home the whole time.

📦 Surplus that won’t fit

Your new home is smaller and you want to keep items you don’t want to sell.

🌍 Before international shipping

Your shipment is ready and waiting for the container date or for documents to be completed.

🏢 Offices & companies

Archives, office furniture or seasonal stock that doesn’t need permanent space.

How do we store your furniture?

Storage isn’t just parking furniture in a warehouse. The wrong way causes more damage than the move itself — because the damage here builds up silently over months.

❄️

Climate-controlled warehouses

Heat and humidity are the enemies of wooden and leather furniture. A non-air-conditioned warehouse can crack wood, dry out leather and cause mold in upholstery within months.

🛡️

Full packing before storage

We never store an item uncovered. Every item is packed as if it were being shipped — because dust that settles over months is harder to deal with than a single day’s dust.

📐

Raised off the floor, stacked vertically

Furniture isn’t placed directly on the floor but on pallets. Mirrors and screens stand on their edges, exactly as in transport.

📋

Written inventory in two copies

A list of everything you’ve stored — one copy with us and one with you. So handover is accurate and doesn’t depend on memory months later.

🔐

Secure, monitored space

Secure, monitored warehouses that only authorized staff can enter. Your belongings are kept separate and labeled with your name.

💡 What saves you money in storage

Storage costs are based on space and duration. Getting rid of what you don’t need before storing saves more than haggling over the price — there’s no point paying months of rent to keep what you’ll never use.

What we don’t store

For safety reasons and to protect the other contents:

  • Flammable materials and gases — exactly as in transport
  • Food and perishable items — they attract insects and spoil what’s around them
  • Live plants — they can’t survive in a closed warehouse
  • Jewelry, cash and original documents — keep them in a bank safe deposit box

📖 The full list is on the What Can’t Be Moved page.

Frequently asked questions

How is the storage cost calculated?
By the space your furniture occupies and the duration. We estimate the space during the survey and give you a written price — and we explain what’s included and excluded in terms of transport and packing before agreement.
Can I access my belongings during storage?
Yes, by appointment during working hours. Let us know a day ahead so we can prepare access to your belongings — and the written inventory helps you pinpoint exactly what you need.
Does the price include transport to and from the warehouse?
Transport and storage are two separate services that can be combined in one quote. Combining them with us is cheaper and easier than coordinating with two companies — and we list the items separately in the quote.
Can the storage period be extended or shortened?
Yes. Let us know before the agreed period ends so we can arrange an extension or set a delivery date. We prefer advance notice so we can prepare the crew and vehicle.
What if something is damaged during storage?
We document the furniture’s condition in the inventory at deposit and compare it at handover. Coverage and liability details are explained on the Insurance & Liability page and in the service contract.
