Renovating your home is exciting – knocking down walls, ripping up old carpet and creating that perfect new kitchen! OK, so we’re probably making it sound a little easier than it is. And when you’re renovating, there’s a big question you have to answer – where on earth do you put all your stuff?
Your furniture, clothes, bedding, kitchen appliances, that collection of questionable souvenirs you’re oddly attached to… We could go on. But all that stuff needs to be stored in a safe place while you transform your space. And let’s be real, most homes don’t have a magical empty room waiting to be filled (if only).
What you need is temporary storage right near your home, delivered to your door. Hmm, sounds like TAXIBOX. So, grab your sledgehammer, whack on a toolbelt and let’s get stuck in.
The challenges of finding temporary storage during renovations
No two ways about it – renovations are messy. Dust, debris and the occasional snake skin in the walls are just part of the package. To keep your belongings safe, you need to empty out those rooms you’re renovating – otherwise, your favourite armchair might end up looking like a relic from a construction site. So, what do you do with all that stuff?
Most homes aren’t exactly bursting with spare space. Sure, you could try squeezing everything into the garage (if you have one), but then what do you do with your car? Hallways and spare rooms get overloaded, and soon you’re navigating an obstacle course just to make a cup of tea. And let’s not even start on relocating big-ticket items like furniture, fridges or your beloved (and very delicate) collection of kitschy pottery horses (no judgment here). Moving these pieces isn’t just inconvenient – it’s a logistical nightmare.
Common solutions (and their limitations)
So, how do you deal with storage while renovating? Do you haul your stuff to the local storage facility, find yourself a storage container or borrow the neighbour’s garage or storage room?
Traditional storage is one solution. But then you’ve got to pack up all your belongings, load them onto a truck, drive across town and unpack everything again into the storage container or unit. Need to grab something mid-renovation? Well, that means another round trip. It’s not just inconvenient, it can also be time-consuming and expensive.
Another popular solution is cramming everything into a spare bedroom. While that might seem like a quick fix, it comes with its own problems. First, it turns your home into an obstacle course of boxes and fragile items that threaten to topple over at the slightest nudge. And not everyone has the space.
What about the garage? Well, garages aren’t always the cleanest, safest or most secure environments, so that’s a no from us.
Ultimately, these traditional storage solutions tend to pile more frustration onto an already stressful renovation process. If only there were an easier, more convenient way to store your stuff without the added headaches.

Tips for efficiently using a TAXIBOX during renovations
Now that you’ve got a TAXIBOX ready to go, let’s make sure you’re using it efficiently. First things first, organisation is key. When packing your TAXIBOX, place items that you won’t need until after renovations at the back, such as seasonal decor, books or occasional furniture.
Keep more frequently needed items, like tools, cleaning supplies or anything you might want to grab mid-project, at the front. It makes a huge difference when you don’t have to play Tetris with your stuff whenever you need something.
Use clear storage bins for smaller items and label them clearly for quick identification. You’ll thank yesterday you when you’re hunting for that elusive tool or photo album.
It’s also a great idea to create an inventory list of what you’ve packed into the TAXIBOX. You can make a simple list on your phone or even draw a basic map of where things are inside. Or take a photo. This makes finding items a breeze and prevents any ‘where did I put that?’ moments.Finally, think ahead and plan the order in which you might need to access items. If you know you’ll want something sooner rather than later, make sure it’s one of the last things you load. With a little bit of strategy, your TAXIBOX will be a perfectly organised, stress-busting addition to your renovation.
