Published: October 01, 2022

This post is for you if you’ve been looking for storage space and can’t seem to find a solution that works or if the storage solutions you’ve looked into in the past have been too pricey and time-consuming.

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

How do you figure out how much storage space you’ll need for each room in your house if you know what you want to save and keep? If you’re unsure how many files to back up, use the following general storage proportions for every person:

• 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 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 recommendation. The amount of storage space required by each family varies considerably. Depending on the amount of storage capacity needed by each individual, a self-storage facility may provide 300 to 600 cubic feet of storage space per person.

Not only is extra storage space a great place to keep your belongings, but it also increases the value and desirability of your home!
