CHOOSING THE RIGHT STORAGE UNIT SIZE FOR YOUR NEEDS
When it comes to renting a storage unit, selecting the right size is crucial to ensure you meet your storage needs without overspending. Whether you're decluttering your home, storing seasonal items, or keeping business inventory, understanding how to choose the right unit size can save you time and money. At Modern Storage®, we offer various unit sizes to accommodate all types of storage needs, ensuring you find the perfect solution.

1. Assess Your Storage Needs
Start by evaluating what you plan to store. Make a comprehensive list of items, categorizing them by size and frequency of use. Are you storing furniture, boxes of clothes, or just a few seasonal decorations? Knowing exactly what you need to store will help you gauge the space required. Modern Storage® provides expert guidance to help you assess your needs and choose the best unit size based on your inventory.

2. Use Size Guides
Most storage facilities provide size guides that outline what can typically fit in each unit size. For example:
  • 5x5 feet: Perfect for small items such as boxes, small furniture, and seasonal decorations.
  • 10x10 feet: Can accommodate the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including larger furniture and multiple boxes.
  • 10x20 feet: Ideal for storing the contents of a two- to three-bedroom home or a vehicle.
Modern Storage® offers a detailed size guide for each of our unit types, giving you a clear understanding of what will fit. Plus, with our climate-controlled options, you can be sure that sensitive items are well-protected regardless of the unit size.

3. Avoid Overestimating Space
While it might seem safer to rent a larger unit, overestimating your storage needs can lead to unnecessary costs. Larger units generally come with higher monthly fees. By accurately assessing your needs, you can save money while still having enough space for your items. If you find you have extra space, consider whether it makes sense to consolidate or even downsize your belongings.
At Modern Storage®, our team is ready to assist you in selecting the right unit to ensure you’re not paying for more space than you need. We also offer flexibility if your needs change—whether you want to upgrade or downsize, we make the process seamless and convenient. Choosing the right storage unit size involves careful consideration of your needs and a bit of planning. Utilize size guides, assess your inventory thoughtfully, and avoid the temptation to rent more space than necessary. With Modern Storage®, you have access to a variety of unit sizes, expert support, and top-notch security features, ensuring your storage experience is both efficient and cost-effective.
