Temporary New Year's Eve Storage

With Christmas over for another year, many people now turn their attention to New Year’s Eve. Supermarkets replace their shelves of tinsel and decorations for rows of snacks and drinks, aiming to entice those heading to or hosting a party.


Hosting a New Year’s Eve Party can take some planning. How many guests? Will they bring additional guests? Is there enough food and drink? What entertainment will be on offer? Something that also needs consideration is SPACE. Where will the food be set out? Where will drinks be stored? Will additional seating be required?

New Year’s Eve parties can also be occasions where additional people stay over, so creating space for “staying over guests” (some of whom can be very last minute!) also needs to be taken into consideration.

If you are planning a pre party declutter, but haven’t got time to sort through things and dispose of them, why not hire crates from Easycrate for temporary New Year’s Eve storage?

Our crates come in a range of sizes and are ideal for storing delicate items, DVDs and any other items you wish to store out of sight during your party. As each crate has an interlocking lid, they can be stacked during storage to help save space.

Moving Office At Christmas

Which words spring to mind when you think of Christmas? Family? Decorations? Food? Santa? Presents? How about “office moves?”

Believe it or not, moving office over the festive period can actually be a good idea. Not all moves run smoothly and issues such as network problems and delays often create business downtime – not what businesses want during busy times of the year. 



Many business close over Christmas, so companies often choose to move during this quieter period to avoid scheduling a move during busier business months.

Our range of hardwearing plastic packing crates are ideal for office moves. Whether you need to transport office files or electronic equipment, our crates will protect your belongings during your move.

Christmas Office Relocations & Refurbishments

With the television channels littered with festive adverts and shopping centres beginning to be filled with the familiar tune of “..It’s the most wonderful time of the year...” it can only mean one thing – Christmas is almost here!

While the impending festive period often means festive coffee drinks and mad last minute dashes to the shops on Christmas Eve, it can also provide businesses with an ideal opportunity: a chance to move offices or give their current office space some TLC.

Why Move Office Over Christmas?

Although Christmas is renowned for generally being a busy time, for businesses it can be the perfect time to move. Relocating over the quieter period of the Christmas holidays enables companies to get the job done while their business is less busy. 



Moving later in the year when it may be harder to have some business “down time” may be tricky, less feasible and a likely factor in stalling a move altogether.

Why Refurbish Over Christmas?

If relocating your company isn’t an option, why not consider refurbishing your office ready for a fresh start in 2015?

A quick audit around your current workspace should give you an idea of what works and what needs improving.

  • Is your decor looking tired and dated?
  • Would your company benefit from a new colour scheme or rebranding?
  • Could your layout be improved?
  • Does new furniture need to be purchased to improve the layout?

It is always worth discussing with your work team about how they feel about their current working environment. Chances are they will have some fantastic improvement ideas (and potentially some contacts that could help out with repainting etc) and by asking for their opinions, they will feel even more valued.

If you are planning a Christmas move or refurbishment, why not contact the Easycrate team and find out how our crate hire services are ideal for office relocation and refurbishment projects.

Give Your Home Some TLC

Moving house can be a lengthy and costly process. If there is not a valid reason to sell your property and move elsewhere, why not consider an interior design project to give your current home some TLC?

Budget

Depending on your budget, there are many ways to boost your current home. Your interior design project can take as long as you need; it doesn’t need to all be done at once (unless that is your plan!) If you are going to revamp your property in small steps, work out an interior design plan – which rooms are urgent and which can be done at a later stage?


Shop Around

If you are planning on changing your kitchen or bathroom, shop around local stores – you may find that they are running “Interest Free” promotions and deals that will save you money. If you are in time for one of these offers, you may decide to alter your long term interior design plan and make the promoted room your starting point.



Paint

As with kitchen and bathroom promotions, look out for offers in stores on paint e.g. 3 for 2. It is always worth getting a tester pot if changing your colour scheme. You may find a colour you have chosen doesn’t look right once applied to your walls, and a tester size patch is easier (and quicker) to alter than a whole wall.



Furniture

When planning your project, think about your furniture. Sometimes our old furniture works with a new colour scheme, whereas new furniture may suit your new look rooms better. DIY stores also have some great paints for wood – perhaps your much loved wooden table and chairs could be given a new look too?


Furnishings

Many shops now display their furnishings e.g. curtains and cushions in colour themes – this not only helps when looking for cushions in a certain colour but can be a great way to get ideas for colours (and what works well together) before you commit the paint to your walls.

If you are planning a new look for your house and are not sure where to start, why not call in the expertise of an Interior Designer?
