How Much Storage Space Do You Need for Your Columbus Home?

Published: July 01, 2022

It’s difficult to locate any more storage, and if you’ve ever expanded space before, you know how difficult it is to have enough of it. Alternatively, finding storage might be time-consuming and costly in terms of both effort and money.

That’s why UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Columbus offers a simple technique for estimating how much storage area you’ll need.

Once you’ve decided what you want to save and store, you can calculate how much storage area is necessary for each room in your house. The following are some storage requirements per person that might be used as a point of reference when determining how much storage capacity is required:

• Bedroom: 50 cubic feet (for clothes)
• Master Closet: 150 cubic feet (for clothes and shoes)
• Kids’ Rooms: 25 cubic feet (for toys)
• Dining Room: 10 cubic feet (place settings + storage for china, silverware, and serving dishes)
• Living Room: 20 cubic feet (entertainment storage including TV stand, storage for music and games)
• Smaller Spaces: No less than 5 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 just a suggestion. The amount of storage space needed varies from household to household. A self-storage facility may contain up to 300 to 600 cubic feet for each person.

Storage may be costly, but it’s more than simply a way to fill up space; it’s also an investment that demonstrates the value and desire of your property!
