Choosing the right storage unit size is crucial for maximizing space utilization and minimizing costs. Whether you're decluttering your home, storing business inventory, or preparing for a move, accurately estimating your storage needs ensures a seamless storage experience. Join Empire Storage as we break down the factors to consider when determining the ideal storage unit size for your belongings.

Assess Your Storage Needs

Before selecting a storage unit size, take inventory of the items you plan to store. Consider the following questions to guide your assessment:

  • What types of items will you be storing?

  • How many items do you need to store?

  • Are there any oversized or irregularly shaped items?

  • Will you need to access your stored items frequently?

Consider Storage Unit Size Options

Our storage units come in a variety of sizes to accommodate diverse storage needs. Our most popular sizes include:

  • Small Units (5'x5' or 5'x10'): Ideal for storing small furniture items, boxes, seasonal decorations, and personal belongings.

  • Medium Units (10'x10' or 10'x15'): Suitable for storing the contents of a one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment, including furniture, appliances, and boxes.

  • Large Units (12'x30' or 15'x25' or 15’x40’): Spacious enough to store the contents of a multi-bedroom house, including large furniture, appliances, and recreational equipment.
