Clean Storage Units on W. 2nd Street in Owensboro, KY

The most common mistake is renting by bedroom count. Instead, size by the amount of stuff you own. A sparse two-bedroom and a packed two-bedroom are very different loads. First, note the big pieces in each room before choosing storage units. Think beds, sofas, dressers, a dining table, and the washer and dryer. Then boxes fill the gaps around them. If you’d rather not guess, our space estimator helps. Add up your items, and it points you toward the right storage units.

Small Loads: The 5x10

A 5x10 holds roughly what a mid-sized bedroom does. For example, picture a queen bed, a dresser, a television, and several boxes. These small storage units suit a student heading home for the summer. They also work for a spare room becoming an office. Seasonal gear that has outgrown the hall closet fits too.

Apartment and Partial-Home Loads: 10x10 and 10x15

A 10x10 holds a whole family room or two full bedrooms, with space left for boxes. Next, step up to a 10x15 for three bedrooms of furniture. It also fits a piano, couches, tables, or a large-screen television. For most two-bedroom households mid-move or mid-remodel, one of these storage units is the right call.

Whole-Home Loads: 10x20 and 10x25

When a full house goes into storage, choose the 10x20 or 10x25. These storage units handle a multi-bedroom home. For instance, they hold a couch, a refrigerator, a washer and dryer, and a dining set. Additionally, the extra length of the 10x25 leaves a walkway down the middle. That matters if you’ll pull items out a little at a time.

When a Remodel or Downsize Calls for Short-Term Storage Units

Not all storage units are a long-term commitment. In fact, plenty of Owensboro families rent storage units for the two or three months a kitchen remodel takes. They bring everything home once the cabinets are in. Others are downsizing from a longtime family home. As a result, they need somewhere to hold pieces without a new owner. Similarly, some are settling an estate and need time to decide what stays in the family. Because you rent by the month, you keep storage units only as long as the project demands.
