Our Storage Rooms In Swindon Will Help Your Renovations

Renovations cause a great deal of upheaval in your life. Not to mention the mess. Our storage rooms in Swindon are here to help. Read on to find out how.

Renovating your home is a big task, no matter whether you are doing one room or the entire house. It is, of course, super exciting to be taking your house and making it into your perfect home but, it also has a major impact on your mental health and your relationships, sometimes even sparking divorce.

We do not want to freak anyone out of doing their renovations. We want to let you know that you are not alone if you are feeling stressed and down during your renovations. And we also want to let you know that our storage rooms in Swindon are here to help.

Within this article, we will look at why renovations have such a large psychological impact on us all and how our storage rooms in Swindon will help.

The Psychological Impact Of Renovating

Renovating has a major impact on our lives, relationships and health. This might not be surprising as renovating is such a monumental task that causes a great deal of upheaval, mess and there are many (many!) decisions to be made. When you are doing the renovations with your partner, those decisions can become even harder to make.

Within this section, we will take a look at how and why renovating has such a large psychological impact on us all.

Impact On Our Relationships

Renovating has a large impact on our relationships because, when you are making all the decisions as a duo/family, you are not always going to agree.

A 2025 survey conducted by Houzz found that not being able to agree on certain aspects of the renovation causes a great deal of tension.

Out of the 540 people they surveyed, 33% reported that agreeing to and then staying on budget is one of the biggest sources of tension. Another big source of tension and disagreement is deciding on what you want the house to look like once it’s all done. 36% of people argued about paint colours, 33% about furniture, which rose to 41% when the couple had been together for less than ten years.

Impact On Our Mental Health

Our mental health takes a hit when we are doing renovations because, firstly, because of all the change. Humans like a level of certainty in the things we do. We like routine and control. Renovations don’t have a high level of certainty. Things can go wrong, timelines can change and what we want might not work within our home. And there is no real chance for routine or control. Routine goes out the window, particularly if you remain living in your home during the renovations. You just have to take each day as it comes and that is not easy for us.

And, as we have already mentioned, there are so many decisions to make that we head into decision fatigue. You need to make decisions about the budget, about the aesthetic of your house, the contractors you are going to use etc. It all takes a lot of effort and time and it is exhausting.

How Our Storage Rooms In Swindon Will Ease Some Of The Impact

There are many things you can do to ease some of the impact of your renovations. Within this section, we will look at how our storage rooms in Swindon will help and some other things that will help.

Safe Space To Store Your Belongings

Our storage rooms in Swindon will offer you a safe space in which to store your belongings. A big issue when renovating is trying to figure out where to store everything where it is all safe from the dirt and debris of the renovations.

Our storage rooms in Swindon will be that place. All of our storage rooms are kept to a high standard of cleanliness and they are all fitted with an alarm and smoke and fire detectors. There is 24/7 CCTV surveillance around the entire Swindon facility.

If you would like an extra layer of protection, you can also be added to our insurance policy. Most home insurance does not cover a storage room but you can be added to ours for a small monthly fee.

Flexible Rental Contracts With Our Storage Rooms In Swindon

You may not have entire control over your renovations but you will be completely in control of your storage rooms in Swindon as all of our storage comes with flexible rental contracts.

This means that if, at any point, you need to change your storage room – upsize or downsize – you are free to do so. You just need to speak with the Swindon team and they will help to make it happen as quickly as possible.

When it comes to renovations, they are pretty notorious for taking longer than first anticipated. With our storage rooms in Swindon, this is not a problem. You can extend your stay within your storage room at any point. Again, you will just need to have a chat with the Swindon team.

If miracles do happen and your renovations take less time than expected, you are also free to leave your storage room before your rental period has expired. We just need you to give us a short period of notice.

The Ideal Storage Room For Your Needs

Our storage rooms in Swindon range from 15 square feet to 500+ square feet. This means that whether you are renovating your whole house or one room, we will have a storage room that meets your needs.

Other Ways To Ease Some Of The Impact Of Your Renovations

Work With Professionals

One of the easiest ways to ease some of the impact is to work with professionals who come highly recommended or well reviewed like A.P Berrystone Building Contractors.

Working with professionals will make your life so much easier because they will be able to tell you what can actually be done within the space you are renovating and you can trust them to work hard and to do a good job.

Move Out, If You Can

If you can, it is a really good idea to move out of the home you are renovating, particularly if you are renovating your entire house.

Moving out will allow you a space that is calm and you will be able to develop some kind of routine which will make the whole renovating process a lot easier.

Take Breaks

If you are very hands on in your renovation, it is really important that you allow yourself breaks. This could be going out to the cinema or over to a friend’s house for dinner.

Or it could be going away for a weekend or a week. If you have hired professionals, you should be able to trust them to continue whilst you are away. If you are doing it all yourself, a break is of even greater importance because, without one, you could burn yourself out.
