One of the easiest and most practical solutions to decluttering and organizing your home or office is to rent a self storage unit. It keeps your belongings safe as you free up your space.
But with all the storage unit size options, how do you know which one is right for you? Here's a quick guide to storage unit sizes to help you make the best decision:
The Importance of Storage Size
When it comes to renting a storage unit, the first thing you should consider is the unit’s size! While there are many options available, finding the right fit for your belongings and budget is easier said than done. When it comes to choosing a storage unit, your rent is determined by a unit’s square footage. This means larger storage units are typically more expensive, thanks to their accommodating size. However, finding the right storage unit size is vital to achieving your organizing goals.
After all, you don't want your storage space to be so small that it can't fit your belongings just to save a few dollars. On the other hand, a storage unit that’s too large will have you paying extra for unused space.
Determine The Right Storage Unit Size
Before committing to any storage facility, you need to know the amount of space you require. To do this, list all the items that will go into storage and measure each to determine the right storage unit size.
Finding the Right Size Storage Unit Size
There are three general categories of storage units: small, medium, and large storage units.
Small storage units are typically 5 x 5 or 5 x 10 and are roughly the size of a small closet.
You might have a hard time storing awkwardly shaped items in them, but they can handle a few boxes of smaller personal items like books and clothes.
Medium storage units range from 10 x 10 and 10 x 15. They can fit one or two larger pieces such as a sofa and your dining table and a household appliance or two.
Large self storage units are 10 x 20, and 10 x 25 in size. They can fit the most, including major appliances, an entire apartment, and most business storage needs.
