Who needs a shipping container conversion?

While it can seem a bit extra to ship in a Christmas container in the run-up to the 25^th, a shipping container actually has many practical applications year-round.

By increasing your usable living space, you don’t need a costly and impactful home extension. Simply pop a container into an unused corner of your garden and you could gain a much-needed:

• Guest bedroom – so those staying with you can have a bit more privacy
• Home office – concentrate better away from the noise and distractions of home
• Workout space – think home gym, weights room, or a dance or yoga studio
• Cottage business location – ideal for dog groomers, crafters who sell their creations, or even hairdressers and barbers
• Holiday let – if you live in a touristy area, letting out a room could bring an extra income
• Leisure space – perfect for home cinemas, games rooms, playrooms, etc.

Why you need a Christmas storage container this year

But how can an Xmas storage container help in December?

While you might not think it, an extra space can help conquer many of the big Christmas worries, namely:

A lack of space

If you are having guests over during the festive season, your spare room will need to be clean and clear.

So where do you put all of those odds and ends that normally live in there?

If you don’t have a garage or boarded loft space, you could be a bit stuck. However, with a Christmas container, you now have more options.

Whether you use it to hide presents, laundry, or even sale items that you’ve picked up to give as future birthday presents, you can hide it all in an Xmas storage container!

Places to put furniture or bulky items

What do you have to move to make space for your Christmas tree?

Most people will have an array of year-round furniture that has to shift and change slightly to accommodate your towering edifice of seasonal joy.

Be it a spare nest of tables, a coffee table, or even an extra armchair – finding space for these extra items can be tricky and could lead to you leaving them in a rickety shed or even out in the garden.

Avoid the stress and potential damage by storing your larger or bulky items in your new container conversion!

This also works for guest suitcases and bags, too – so your guest room remains calm and peaceful all Christmas long.

A discreet place to wrap the gifts you’ve bought

If you’ve managed to keep your gifts hidden, the next challenge is wrapping them without peeking eyes catching a glimpse.

Gift wrapping takes a surprising amount of room if you want to do it properly and it’s always best done with plenty of time to spare – with or without a mulled wine!

And what better place for this than your secret wrapping refuge?
