Unlikely, but possible, uses for storage units in E14

If you had never seen, or heard of, a storage unit before, it wouldn’t take a great deal of imagination to work out what one might be. The clue is in the name and there’s not a lot of room for speculation. However, just because something has a generalised use, it doesn’t mean that it’s the only use.

Walk-in Wardrobe

Although this is still very much a case of using a storage unit for its intended purpose, the act of visiting the unit each and every morning to get ready for your day would definitely put you in the minority. Although, there are cases of this happening!

If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. On one hand you have a vast amount of clothes, and in the other you have a tiny amount of space… it’s only logical to rent yourself a walk-in wardrobe. With this much-needed space you could choose your daily outfits at your own leisure, whilst leaving your home unburdened by your extensive quantity of clothes.

Art Gallery

If you’ve got the art skills, and there are people around who want to see your talent, then you can set up a gallery just about anywhere. With this logic in mind, a storage unit seems like quite a sensible place to do so.

In fact, a storage company in San Francisco has four entire buildings that are filled with spaces dedicated to showing off the talents of local artists.

Circus

This is certainly the most illogical use for a storage unit listed here. Just like the others however, it has been done, and with great prowess. How would you fit the elephants, towering trapezes and fire jugglers all in one storage unit, you may be asking. Well, a storage unit circus may not be this explosive, but it certainly exists!

A non-profit company in Singapore provides performances and workshops out of a variety of storage units, all across the country. This travelling service aims to entertain audiences, as well as teach circus skills to any underprivileged youths. Whilst you won’t find an elephant in these units, you would be likely to discover balance boards, clown costumes, unicycles and a number of other circus related artefacts.
