One of the most common mistakes when renting storage in NYC is choosing the wrong unit size. Whether it’s too small to fit everything or unnecessarily large, this decision can cost you time, money, and peace of mind. In this post, we’ll explore how to determine the right storage unit size for your needs and how Perfect Moving & Storage makes the process stress-free.

Why Choosing the Right Size Matters

Getting the size right ensures your belongings are stored efficiently and securely. Here’s what can go wrong with an ill-fitted unit:
  • Too Small
    Items end up crammed in, making it difficult to access anything and increasing the risk of damage.
  • Too Large
    You’re paying for unused space, which adds unnecessary costs to your monthly bill.
  • Disorganization
    A poorly chosen unit often leads to a cluttered mess, making retrieval of specific items a hassle.

How to Estimate Your Storage Needs

Here’s a quick guide to help you figure out what size storage unit you’ll need:
  • Small Units (5×5 or 5×10)

    Ideal for a few boxes, seasonal items, or small furniture pieces. Perfect for students or individuals with minimal storage needs.

  • Medium Units (10×10 or 10×15)

    These units can fit the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including furniture and appliances.

  • Large Units (10×20 or larger)

    Great for storing the contents of a multi-bedroom home, including larger furniture and appliances.

  • Customized Options

    If you’re unsure, a professional consultation can help you determine the best fit for your needs.

  • Accessibility
    With the right-sized unit, retrieving specific items becomes quick and easy.
  • Protection
    Proper space allocation reduces the risk of damage to your belongings.

Pro Tips for Estimating Storage Needs

  • Create an Inventory
    Make a list of everything you plan to store to gauge the required space accurately.
  • Consider Future Needs
    If you anticipate needing to store additional items later, opt for a slightly larger unit.
  • Use Vertical Space
    Stackable items can reduce the amount of floor space you need, making smaller units more viable.

Don’t fall into the trap of guessing your storage needs or choosing a unit based solely on cost. By assessing your items carefully and consulting with professionals, you can avoid the headaches of an overstuffed or underutilized unit.
