Spring cleaning is in the air and as wonderful as it feels to freshen up your apartment, all that stuff has to go somewhere. Of course, many things that you’re ready to get rid of to open up space in your apartment in NYC can be listed for sale online or donated to charities. But what about the things you love and adore, but maybe just don’t have room for anymore?

MakeSpace is taking New York City -- and the rest of the country -- by storm. A fully digital experience, you can request space for your items, schedule a pick-up and have your precious items be carefully packed away. You read that right -- instead of having to dig out some bubble wrap yourself and create a leaning tower in a cardboard box, MakeSpace will show up to your place, armed with packing materials, all you have to do is pop everything inside a free bin that is provided by MakeSpace.

MakeSpace makes stashing items away incredibly easy...and affordable.

Then, once everything is packed, MakeSpace will load the boxes, furniture and even sporting equipment like skis and snowboards to trek it away to a secure storage facility. Each bin that MakeSpace provides for your storage is covered by a $250 insurance policy and $2,000 per storage space -- so if something happens to the goods inside, you’ll be compensated.

That isn’t even the best part about MakeSpace; they’ll also create an online photo catalog of what you have stored with them, so you’re able to quickly identify what you may need from your storage space. If it turns out you just can’t live without that item, MakeSpace will bring it back to you.

 ​Maybe it's time to do some spring cleaning in your apartment to make it that much more inviting. 

So instead of having to find a storage space yourself, rent a van, load the van, unload the van and wonder where you packed that sweater that Aunt Mildred gave you, you can spend your time doing more important things, like marveling over the efficiency of MakeSpace.

With different size options available for rent, from 16 square feet (considered a hallway closet) for $59 a month, a 300 square feet for $199 a month (a one bedroom apartment) or 800 square feet for $499 a month (a three bedroom apartment), MakeSpace has the right size for anyone who needs storage. The company has been incredibly thoughtful in how they approach the market in NYC and as a result, one of the features that they offer is no increase in storage fees. So what you start paying today, you’ll continue to pay.

 ​With different sizes and budgets for everyone, MakeSpace makes storing your stuff a breeze.

So as you start to think about spring cleaning this year, maybe start to also consider really clearing out your space. As you go through the process and find there are things you’d like to donate, MakeSpace will drop those items off to charity, for no additional charge.

You might be surprised at how much you don’t miss the items once they’ve been taken away and how much more freeing it is to have additional space at your place. We’re betting that you’ll love how your freshened up and streamlined apartment feels!
