Top 10 Self-Storage Facilities in Dubai

Clutter-free living is real.

The demand for self-storage solutions has steadily increased globally over the past few years. More specifically, in Dubai, the need for self-storage has been fueled by the increasing population of expat residents, the housing crisis, urbanisation, the increasing trend of downsizing homes, and a booming economy.

The rise of e-commerce and online businesses in Dubai has contributed equally to the surging demand in the self-storage industry. More and more emerging entrepreneurs are looking for affordable and secure storage for their inventory. Recently, tourists are also opting for short-term self-storage solutions to protect their luggage and other travel items during their vacation here.

Studies predict the self-storage market in the UAE will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.8% between 2021 and 2026. While this sounds promising to anyone wanting a self-storage unit in Dubai, the options available in the emirate have made it challenging to identify a reliable solution that is worth the cost. To simplify that, we have compiled a hand-picked list of the top 10 self-storage facilities in Dubai.

Extraspace

Complying with an impressive set of international quality standards and procedures, Extraspace claims popularity as one of Dubai’s top 10 self-storage facilities. While they specialize in both personal and commercial self-storage services, they also stand out noticeably for their shipping and moving solutions.

Extraspace self-storage facilities feature fully-insulated walls and ceilings, a zoned sprinkler system approved by Dubai civil defense, 24-hour security with trained security guards approved by Dubai police, on-site 24/7 CCTV monitoring rooms, and monitored individual door alarms by PIN code access.

The hygiene and safety practices in the facility are on par with approved global standards. They follow a rotational cleaning and pest control program by a full-time cleaning team. They also provide supplementary services such as packaging supplies.

The process of renting self-storage at Extraspace is designed with convenience, and affordability in mind, making them a go-to option for self-storage options in Dubai. In addition, the company’s initiative to establish an environmentally-friendly business distinguishes itself from other self-storage companies in the UAE.

Boxit

This self-storage company was founded based on a simple solution of using a box to store belongings you don’t regularly use but wouldn’t want to throw away. Although they started operations initially in a local neighborhood community to troubleshoot the founder’s personal conundrum of ‘a lot of stuff and very little space’, the amazing client response and engagement made them expand into other regions in the UAE, including Dubai.

They particularly have a high demand for warehouse storage facilities for furniture and perform on a pay-as-you-go basis. Boxit services feature an option where their trained staff can pack and pick up your items from your doorstep, store them in self-storage units, and bring them back to you when you need them again.

As one of the leading self-storage facilities in Dubai, Boxit is always looking to create unique and customizable solutions for making organized and clutter-free living an easy possibility.

A Joyful “Spring” Clean in Dubai

Revitalize, Refresh, Renew.

It’s that time of year when we start packing away our ‘Winter’ clothes and brace ourselves for the onslaught of the 40-plus degree heat. What better time than now to give your wardrobe the overdue detox it needs? We detox our bodies so why not our space? This does not have to be as daunting as you may be contemplating at this moment.

“But where do I start?”, I hear you asking.

Well, with a joyful spring clean, of course! Now be honest, on a scale from one to ten, how much joy do you currently feel when you open your wardrobe? Ten being absolutely overjoyed and over the moon every time you peek into your closet. If you scored yourself at anything less than a seven, then you have your weekend activity planned for you. It’s time for a “spring” clean!

Get Organised

A gorgeous, well-organised wardrobe brings joy! It’s so much easier to see the potential of your clothes, shoes and accessories when everything is sparkling clean and in its place. From a visual perspective, ensure you have good quality hangers, all facing the same direction. This will give you the thrill of shopping in an expensive boutique every time you choose an outfit from your closet! Dry cleaner hangers are never welcome in any wardrobe!

Here is a step-by-step guide to getting organised:

Remove everything from your wardrobe.
Give your wardrobe a good clean, use the hoover or a damp cloth to banish dust and grime from the floors, rails, and doors.
Return only the clothes that you absolutely love (the ones that score seven out of ten or higher). Ask yourself these questions as you sort through your wardrobe: Does it fit? Have I worn it in the last year? Is it still on trend or has it outlived itself? And finally, is it still in good condition? If the answer is no, it needs to go.
After shortlisting what items stay in your wardrobe, it’s time to hang your tops together, skirts in a line, trousers, and other items can be stacked neatly. By grouping your items in this way, you won’t always reach for the same outfits but will discover lots of new ones you hadn’t thought of before.
Only items you actually wear should be in your wardrobe. The clothes that no longer inspire you can be passed on to their next owner. Consider hosting a clothing swap with friends or explore local resale sites. With Ramadan just around the corner what better way to give?
Holiday clothes should be packed away until you need them. This creates more space in your wardrobe.

Did you know that we wear 15% of our wardrobe 85% of the time? If you’re struggling to find your style in what’s unused, then it’s time to consider your individual daily needs, where you work and what image you want to portray. It is important to know your best colours and style personality.

Avoid wasting money and time on buying things that don’t look or feel great. A personal stylist might seem like a luxury but if you really want to get the most out of your wardrobe, a colour and style orientation is a great investment. Confidence is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life.
