• Kids’ Rooms: 25 cubic feet (for toys)
• Dining Room: 10 cubic feet (place settings + storage for china, silverware, and serving dishes)

• Smaller Spaces: No less than five cubic feet (storage for linens, storage for pots and pans)
• Laundry Room: 100 cubic feet (storage + laundry equipment storage)
• Garage: ____ (dependent upon storage needs of homeowners such as bikes, tools, etc.)

This is only a suggestion. Storage space requirements vary considerably from family to family. A self-storage facility may offer 300 to 600 cubic feet of storage space per person, depending on the amount of storage space required by each individual.
