Published: November 01, 2022

If you’re struggling to find an efficient storage solution that doesn’t break the bank, this post is for you. We’ll explore some of the best storage solutions available so that you can choose what works best for you and your budget.

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

Before you determine how much storage space you need in every room of your house, consider which items you want to keep. If you can’t quite picture the amount of space required, use these tips as a suggestion:

• 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 suggestion, and the amount of storage space required by each household varies greatly. A typical self-storage facility may provide 300 to 600 cubic feet of space per person, depending on each individual’s needs.

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