Figuring out which storage unit size will work for you may be simpler than you realize. When you look at all of the belongings you have that you hope to put in storage, it can seem overwhelming, but a lot of it has to do with the organization of your unit . Let's take a look at common unit sizes and which items you'll commonly find stored in them to get an idea of which one may be right for you.

It can usually hold 1-2 small pieces of furniture, tall items like lamps, or roughly 8 boxes (size depending). It's good for seasonal decor, extra chairs or small furniture, or boxes or totes with clothing or other items.

5x10 or 10x5 Storage Units

This next size up is either five or ten feet wide by five or ten feet long and 50 square feet total. It is about the size of a standard walk-in closet. It can usually hold 1-2 large pieces of furniture or mattresses and roughly 15 boxes (size depending). It is good for bicycles, holding a few things during a remodel, or storing some items that might normally go in a garage.
