Selecting the right self-storage unit size is crucial to accommodate your belongings without wasting space or squeezing them into a cramped area. To simplify this decision-making process, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you determine the ideal storage unit size for your needs.

Understanding Self-Storage Unit Sizes

At Curio Storage, self-storage units come in various sizes, typically ranging from small lockers to larger units suitable for furniture storage. It’s essential to assess the items you plan to store and their quantity to gauge the appropriate size.

Self-Storage Size Guide: Finding Your Fit

5’x5′ or 5’x10′ Unit

  • What it Fits: These smaller units are perfect for storing boxes, small furniture items, bicycles, or seasonal decor.
  • Ideal For: Individuals or small households needing space for a few items or boxes.

10’x10′ or 10’x15′ Unit

  • What it Fits: Medium-sized units can accommodate furniture from a one-bedroom apartment or larger items like couches, mattresses, and appliances.
  • Ideal For: Couples or small families needing space for furniture and household items. Are you planning on moving soon and have nowhere to keep your belongings? This might be the best option for you.

10’x20′ or 10’x25′ Unit

  • What it Fits: Larger units suitable for furniture from a two-bedroom house, including appliances, multiple boxes, and larger items like motorcycles or small boats.
  • Ideal For: Families or those needing to store the contents of a larger home. Usually used for large periods of time, in most cases due to moving from one house to another or due to extenuating circumstances where you need a big storage space, fast.

Determining Your Storage Needs

  • Inventory Assessment: Take stock of your belongings and estimate the volume they’ll occupy in a storage unit.
  • Consider Accessibility: Factor in the need for pathways within the unit for easy access to items. All of our units are ground level and offer easy access to vehicles. 
  • Future Planning: If you anticipate adding more items, consider a slightly larger unit to accommodate future storage needs.

Choosing the right storage unit size ensures your belongings are stored efficiently and safely. Use our size guide as a starting point to assess your storage needs accurately and select a unit that perfectly accommodates your items without wasted space.
