Why Your Apartment Seems Smaller - Where Do the Square Meters Go? 0 20

Every extra box, suitcase, or container of "necessary things" takes up space that you pay for every month. In Riga, where every square meter is getting more expensive, keeping unnecessary items at home means overpaying for air.

Every second resident of the capital feels that they live in an overcrowded home. Closets are bursting, balconies have turned into storage rooms, and bicycles occupy half of the hallway. The items seem necessary, but there are too many of them. However, there is a way to increase living space without moving: free up the apartment and remove the items that are not needed every day.

For such situations, a self-storage service is becoming popular in Riga, or storage boxes. This is a new storage format that has already become common in Europe. It is a personal "second storage room" outside the apartment. Here, Riga residents store seasonal clothing, furniture, tires, documents, or even goods for business.

Such a solution is offered by NOLIKTAVA1 - a network of secure storage facilities where people comfortably leave their belongings.

How It Works

You choose a box for rent of the required size - from 1.5 to 72 m³, bring in your items, lock the box with your personal lock, and enjoy your free apartment. The service is easy to use and compared to standard storage methods, it has the following advantages:

Access 24/7

For NOLIKTAVA1 self-storage clients, round-the-clock access to the area is offered. Now you choose the time: come in, pick up, or unload your things when it's convenient.

Security

The area is guarded, monitored by video surveillance, and has physical security. Items are reliably protected from accidental damage or unauthorized access.

Flexibility

Need more space? Take a larger box.

Have fewer items? Switch to a smaller storage unit.

Self-storage = freedom: you can end the rental whenever you want. No hidden conditions or paperwork.

The registration takes 15 minutes, and you can reserve storage on the website noliktava1.lv. Currently, NOLIKTAVA1 offers the best prices for storage in Riga.

The website will answer all your questions: help you choose the right size, animations will suggest how much space you need for your items, and you can calculate the area to understand which box suits your situation.

You can rent NOLIKTAVA1 self-storage for any period - from a month to a year. The duration depends only on your needs. The company has locations in 10 districts of Riga and Jurmala, which means that the nearest storage is likely just 5-10 minutes from your home or work.

What Riga Residents Store in Boxes

Self-storage in the capital is becoming more popular every year. To understand why, let’s look at how people use such storage.

1. People store items that are not needed every day.

Seasonal clothing, shoes, suitcases, Christmas decorations, car tires - these items are only used during certain seasons, so it makes sense to store them outside the apartment. The home immediately feels more spacious. For such needs, people use small, affordable storage units ranging from 1.5 to 6.5 m³, which can hold a large number of items.

2. During renovations or moving.

Is your apartment turning into a warehouse for boxes and furniture? It’s time to temporarily move items to self-storage, and after the renovation, return them to the clean space. Use the storage as an interim place if you are waiting for a new apartment or planning a move. NOLIKTAVA1 also offers moving services to relieve clients of extra worries.

3. You are going away for a long time.

Studying, working abroad, long trips - leaving items with friends is uncomfortable, you don’t want to disturb them unnecessarily, and paying for an apartment just for suitcases is pointless. A mini-storage solves this problem too: your belongings are safe, and you are free.

4. For hobbies or business.

People store sports equipment in boxes, as well as tools and goods for online stores. Items are at hand but do not interfere with living.

Is Renting a Mini-Storage Worth It?

If you calculate how much 5-10 sq. m costs in a rented or purchased apartment, it becomes clear: keeping items at home is an expensive pleasure. Renting a box in self-storage is several times cheaper, while you still get those extra square meters, just outside the apartment.

As a result, you will feel how easy it is to breathe at home.

When the extra boxes and bags disappear, not only does space free up, but a sense of peace also emerges. Space is not just square meters; it is also quality of life.

To feel this lightness, you don’t need to move. Just leave some items where they will be safe - in NOLIKTAVA1 storage.

The process for the client is completed in three steps: choose the size, register your storage online, and bring in your items. The apartment is free again. Living becomes easier, and the apartment feels larger.
