Moving is exciting, life changing, hard work, stressful, frustrating - you name it!  Moving is also a key reason why folks rent self-storage. A storage unit can help minimize moving stress, simplify the moving process, and give peace of mind that personal items and cherished belongings are safe and secure during the transitional period.

If you’re already 100% decided that a storage unit is just what you need to help you with your upcoming move, visit our Sizing and Pricing page and rent a storage unit in minutes!  If you are not sure what size storage unit you need, keep reading this blog post and be sure to access the additional resources we’ve linked to.

How Do I Choose the Right Size Storage Unit?

We commonly get asked by customers what size storage unit do I need?  It can be tricky to pick the right size unit as there are a lot of factors to consider. To help answer this question check out our blog post called What Size Storage Unit Do You Need. It’s a great general resource that our customers find helpful. Since it is more general, we’ve created this resource that focuses on the storage options best suited for a 3-bedroom house. 

How Big of a Storage Unit Do I Need for a 3 Bedroom House?

Not all 3 bedroom homes are created equal, and that is especially true when it comes to their physical size. Some are small and cozy while others are spacious. Garage sizes vary from no garage to a 3-car garage. Another key factor to consider is contents and belongings. Just because you may have a small home does not mean you do not have a lot of stuff. Some folks love stuff and have a lot of it…while others are minimalists (and they may live in large spacious homes that could hold more than they have or want).  Another consideration is appliance storage needs. Sometimes a homeowner needs to store appliances, while other times these remain in the home.

When picking the ideal size storage unit for a 3-bedroom house, one of the most important things to consider is what you plan to store in the unit.  This will help you determine the right size unit to rent.

Here are some examples of common items in a 3 bedroom home that may need to be stored in a self-storage unit:

  • Major furniture & Appliances: sofas/couches, loveseats, dining room sets, kitchen table sets, buffet cabinets, large wall units, chest of drawers, bedroom sets and mattresses (Queen and King sizes), fridge, stove, washer, dryer etc.
  • Small furniture, Décor & Accessories: coffee tables, side tables, nightstands, bookcases, lamps, microwave, home gym equipment, desk chairs, twin bedroom mattress and furniture, crib, small desks and chairs, sports equipment, home and seasonal décor, mirrors, artwork, musical instruments, etc.
  • Various Sizes of Boxes & Totes: filled with dishes, electronics, clothing, bedding, small kitchen appliances, books, photographs, collectibles, toys, etc.
  • Garage & Shed Contents: this commonly consists of boxes, totes, outdoor furniture, patio sets, gardening tools, workshop tools, sports and recreation equipment, bikes, scooters, strollers, etc.

What Size Storage Container for a 3 Bedroom House?

  • 10x18 Storage Unit
  • 10x20 Storage Unit
  • 8x40 Storage Unit

Very reliable storage. A good solution to park your car and keeping it protected from all weather conditions. Although a bit remote location.. but the price and the service was worth it.

I went in to find out some information on storage units for when I move in a couple weeks and was happily surprised by the customer service I received. I had looked at a few other storage facilities in Woodstock but their customer service was terrible compared to Jared's from Storage Solutions. He was professional and understanding of my needs and was ready to help anywhere he could. I will definitely be spreading the word to any of my friends looking for units!

Great rates for a clean, secure, well lit place. Really good staff and a company that cares. New facility and the competitors are pretty tired looking and charging the same rates (if not a bit more).

My husband and I recently relocated from the US and needed a place to store all of our belongings while we secured a new home. The folks at Storage Solutions advised us on the right size unit for our needs, at the right price. They were kind and helpful with all of our "first-timer" questions. We were very confident in the security of the place, and had absolutely no issues. I would highly recommend and use them again if needed.
