Organise your storage area

We all have an area that we use to place all of those items that do not have a home. This could be in a drawer, a cupboard, in a spare room or on a shelf. If your storage area becomes cluttered it can be hard to locate what you are looking for, so you need to keep things organised.

If you have your storage area in a cupboard then you could place portable racking in it, so that the cupboard can hold a larger quantity of items. If you do not have any floor space you could attach shelves to the walls of the cupboard, so that your items can be placed onto the shelves.

You could have a large quantity of clutter, and this could be kept safe in your shed or garage. However, you may have large items already in there, so you need have a storage system in place to enable you to easily gain access to all items without having to move things to get to them. This is where there are storage racks that can be attached to the wall of the garage and it houses large items such as bikes and garden equipment as they can be attached to hooks on the storage rack and hung up.

You could have a lot of small items that need to be stored and to make sure that you do not lose any you could put them into plastic storage boxes. The boxes come with lids and come in a selection of different colours.

Storage racks for your clothing

We all have a wide range of clothing for all weather conditions, be it spring, summer, autumn or winter. As the seasons change so do our wardrobe requirements. You could also have clothes that you may not wear very often, but you do not want to throw them away as you may still have a use for them.

Unfortunately, not all wardrobes are big enough to hold all of our clothes so you need to find another storage solution. There are a few options available; if you have limited space in the home then there are plastic storage boxes to store the clothes you do not need or wear very often. The storage boxes can then be either stored under your bed or put into the loft, and you can rotate your clothes to suit the season. If you are storing the plastic storage boxes in the loft, there are lids available so that the clothes are protected and do not get dirty or damaged.

If you are fortunate enough to have a spare room, then you can buy storage racks to install there. The storage racks have shelves, which makes it easy to store any storage boxes and access them whenever you need to. Alternatively, you may opt for storage racks with garment rails. Hanging up your clothes means that your clothes are easily accessible, and you usually do not need to iron them more than once as they have not been folded up. There are some storage racks that have garment rails and shelves on, enabling you to tidy away shoes. Clothing storage ideas can be simple or elaborate.

Storage for the Accounts Department

The accounts department is one of the busiest departments in the workplace. They have a large quantity of paperwork that has to be processed and entered onto their accounts system. Once the documents have been entered onto the system they are usually allocated a reference number, this is how the document is identified and it can then be filed away.

To make sure that the documents are easy to locate if they are needed, you have to store them in a document storage system. There are many different storage systems available, it really depends on the quantity of documents that you have to store.

Storage racks can be used for the documents, and there are supports that can be purchased and placed onto the shelves of the storage racks to hold the files in place.

You may have confidential documents in the accounts department such as banking details, payroll or personnel files. These need to be stored securely; this is where storage cabinets can be used as they feature a lock to restrict access. These cabinets have shelves inside and they can be adjusted to suit the documents you have to store.

All document storage systems need to be clearly labelled so that all employees in the accounts department can locate the document they need promptly. If you run out of space in the office you could also create an archive area in another part of the building, for those documents you need to store by law.
