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

Before you decide upon the size of storage in each part of your house, consider which things you would like to keep. If it’s difficult for you to imagine the amount needed, here are some rough estimates:

  • 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.)

Although the amount of storage space needed by each family may vary, it is suggested that households have access to 300-600 cubic feet of self-storage per person. With this type of accessible storage space, individuals are able to store many items in a safe and secure location.

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!
