When your loved one moves into a retirement home, it's important to determine the purpose for which the furniture will be stored. There are several options open to you.

If you plan to keep the furniture for a future inheritance, secure storage is an excellent solution.

If you're planning to sell the goods, it's best to opt for accessible storage, allowing easy removal of items when necessary.

In some cases, you may want to consider making donations to charities or finding other solutions to give the furniture a new lease on life.

For long-term storage, choosing a storage facility outside Paris can be an attractive option. Rental costs are often lower, which means significant savings over time. It's important to take into account the distance from your place of residence, to facilitate possible visits.

The accessibility of the storage unit will depend on your specific needs. If you're planning to sell your furniture gradually, it's best to choose a storage facility with easy, regular access. On the other hand, if you're planning long-term storage without the need for frequent access, you may prefer a storage facility that's less accessible but offers better rates.

Security is a key criterion when choosing a storage facility. Make sure the facility has adequate security measures, such as video surveillance systems, access controls, alarms and insurance against damage and theft. Ask about the security protocols in place to guarantee the protection of your belongings.

Before choosing a storage facility, it's important to estimate the volume you'll need to select the right storage space. Make a detailed inventory of the furniture to be stored, and measure the dimensions of bulky items.

The duration of the storage contract is an important aspect to consider. Consider how long you plan to keep the furniture in storage. Some facilities offer flexible contracts with monthly rental options, while others offer longer-term contracts. Choose according to your specific needs, and take into account the possibility of extending or terminating the contract if necessary. Note: a long-term commitment often offers more competitive prices.
