Art storage in a garage unit: safe, flexible, and affordable for artists, studios, and galleries
Are you an artist, gallery owner, or working in a creative studio? Then you understand how important it is to store your paintings safely, neatly, and accessibly. Artworks are often fragile and valuable, both financially and emotionally. The right storage space is not a luxury, but a necessary investment in preserving your work.
We offer the opportunity to set up professional painting storage using our garage boxes, an easy and affordable way to securely store your artworks outside your studio or gallery. In this blog, you'll discover how painting storage in a garage box can work in practice and why it's a smart move for creative professionals.

Why external painting storage is essential
Paintings are easily damaged when stored carelessly. Studios and galleries often lack sufficient or suitable storage space, it may be dusty, cluttered, or unsafe. Many art professionals therefore seek a place where they can store their work temporarily or long term, such as after an exhibition, during a move, or as their collection grows.
A garage unit provides the ideal solution: flexible, secure, and adaptable to your workflow.
The advantages of using a garage box for storing paintings
1. Secure storage for valuable artwork
Our storage boxes are located on gated premises with camera surveillance and electronic access control. Your paintings are not left unattended in a warehouse or shed, but stored in a private unit only you can access. You have the key and a unique access code.
2. Save space in your work environment
Imagine you work in a small studio with limited wall space. Finished pieces can quickly take up a lot of room, especially if you're working with large canvases. By storing completed works in a garage box, you free up your workspace and maintain focus on creating new work, without constantly rearranging your environment.
3. Access anytime you want
Many gallery owners and artists work outside regular office hours. Our storage boxes are accessible 24/7, allowing you to pick up or drop off your work whenever it suits you. Perfect if you're heading to a last-minute fair, a client stops by unexpectedly, or you're preparing for an upcoming show.
4. Rental options
Our rental contracts run for one year with a three-month notice period. So you're not tied into a long-term commitment. Whether you need to store paintings for a year between exhibitions or you're looking for reliable, long-term storage, we offer both options.
5. Suitable for both large and small artworks
With a wide range of unit sizes, there's always a box that fits your collection. Even if you're storing large canvases or multiple works side by side, they can be safely stored vertically, without touching or being under pressure.
How can you use our garage boxes?
You may wonder: how can a garage unit fit into my creative practice? Below are common scenarios where our storage units are a valuable addition:
Between exhibitions
Have unsold paintings from a show and the next exhibition is still weeks away? Instead of returning everything to your studio, us the works temporarily in a garage box. You’ll avoid damage and keep your workspace clear.
Storage of archival or older work
Some works are no longer on display but still worth keeping. A storage box offers archive storage that’s out of the way but always accessible.
Temporary storage during a move or renovation
If you're moving or renovating, your artworks need a safe temporary home. A garage unit is a logical, secure choice.
Extra inventory for art sales or art lending
Do you sell artwork from stock or manage an art lending service? A storage box can serve as an external depot. Your gallery stays tidy, while your backup stock remains organized and safe.
Creating space in your studio
Most artists want their studio to be a place for creating, not storing. External storage keeps your creative space clear and helps you work on larger or more ambitious projects.
Tips for storing paintings in a storage box
Good preparation offers the best protection. Keep these tips in mind:
- Use protective covers, bubble wrap, or breathable fabric
- Store paintings upright with soft spacers in between
- Use racks or stands to make optimal use of vertical space
