Deciding on the amount of storage space you need means assessing exactly what you want to put in the unit. From there, you can estimate the correct amount of square footage so you aren’t renting a storage unit too large or running out of room in one too small. Elyria South Storage in Lorain County, OH, lists the different storage options available and how to gauge what you require.

Storage Space Sizes & What They Will Fit

Mini Storage

Usually starting at about 5-by-5 feet (25 square feet), these units are the smallest available and will fit one standard-size room of furniture, such as a dresser and chairs as well as clothing and small accessories. It’s also great to use as a storage shed or secure extra supplies and office files.

Small Storage Units

Medium Storage Space

At about 100 square feet, you can typically fit furniture that would fill a large family room or a small one-bedroom apartment with appliances. If you have delicate pieces or items that can’t be stacked, choose a larger option.

Large Storage

Beginning at about 150 square feet, a two-bedroom apartment’s furnishings or two rooms of regular-sized pieces from a home will fit. In a 250-square-foot unit, you can store the furniture and accessories of a normal home. A good estimate is two to three bedrooms as well as appliances and other items.

Extra Large Space

As one of the biggest spaces available at around 300 square feet, you can accommodate the contents of a larger home along with things from the garage or shed, such as lawn mowers and gardening tools. Most vehicles can also fit inside.
