How Much Storage Space Do You Need for Your San Antonio Home?

Published: August 01, 2022

It’s difficult to know where to put everything, and if you’ve ever tried to use extra storage space before, you know how difficult it is to have enough of it. Finding storage might be time-consuming and expensive in terms of effort and money.

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

If you know what you want to save and store, you may estimate how much storage space will be required for each room in your house. The following are some storage requirements per person that might be used as a starting point 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 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 considerably from family to family. A self-storage facility may give each person 300 to 600 cubic feet of storage space.

Storage space is more than just a way to put away your extra belongings; it’s also an investment that enhances the worth and desire of your home!
