Leave space for air to move between boxes and furniture. It reduces the chances of mold or mildew invading your things.
Cardboard boxes will soak up any moisture they can find, even the dew that condenses on concrete floors in humid environments. Use wire shelving, 4-by-4-inch lumber or other strong supports to store everything at above-floor level.
