Storage Space Needed vs Rate Per Sq Ft / Month

How to Estimate Storage Space

A rough rule of thumb is 100-200 square feet of storage per room, depending on furniture density.

Guidelines

  • Lightly furnished: ~100 sq ft per room
  • Average: ~150 sq ft per room
  • Heavily furnished: ~200 sq ft per room
  • Storage units stack items vertically, so floor area estimates assume vertical packing.

    Example Calculation

    3 average-furnished rooms at $1.25/sq ft per month.

    1. 01Space needed = 3 x 150 = 450 sq ft
    2. 02Monthly rent = 450 x $1.25 = $562.50
    3. 03Annual cost = $562.50 x 12 = $6,750
