How Much Storage Space Do You Need for Your East Dallas-Fort Worth Home?

Published: August 01, 2022

Determining where to put all of your stuff might be tough, and if you’ve ever used extra space before, you would know how difficult it is to have enough of it. Finding storage may be time-consuming and costly in terms of both effort and money.

That’s why UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of East Dallas-Fort Worth offers a simple technique to estimate how much storage area you will need.

Once you’ve decided what you want to save and what you want to store, you may determine how much storage space is required for each room in your home. The following are some storage demands per person that might be used as a basis when determining how much storage capacity is needed:

• 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. The amount of storage space required varies significantly from family to family. A self-storage facility may provide approximately 300 to 600 cubic feet of storage space per person.

It’s more than just a way to fill up space; it’s also an investment demonstrating your property’s value and desire!
