Office Space

Running a business or working from your home isn't an easy feat. With family interruptions and household chores looming over you it can be hard to get all of your daily work accomplished. Renting a storage unit to use as an office space helps you keep your work life and you home life separate. The storage unit provides you with a distraction-free work environment, and it's cheaper than leasing an actual office.

Renting a large storage unit gives you enough space to store all of your art supplies, as well as the current projects that you're working on. And the best part is, because your storage unit is your own private space, you don't have to clean everything up each time you work. No one will mind if your uncompleted projects are scattered throughout the space.

Transforming a storage unit into a private library is simple. All you need to do is line the walls with bookcases and create a cozy reading area.
