A Guide to Full House Storage’s Popular Small Storage Units

5×5 Unit

A 5×5 storage unit offers 25 square feet of space, similar to a walk-in closet. This size lets you store small furniture pieces, boxes, suitcases, and seasonal items comfortably. It can hold the contents of a small room or studio apartment, including several boxes and one or two pieces of small furniture. This is one of the most common storage unit sizes for cost-effective solutions.

Best for: Individuals looking to declutter a small living space or needing to store seasonal items that are not used day to day.

5×10 Unit

The 5×10 storage unit provides 50 square feet of space. With double the space of our smallest unit option, this size is well-suited to accommodate furniture from a small one-bedroom apartment, such as a sofa, a small dining set, a mattress set, and several boxes. This size can also hold your outdoor furniture or equipment during the off-season.

Best for: Couples or individuals moving from a small apartment or looking to store the contents of a medium-sized room. It’s also ideal for those storing an extensive collection of boxes or small furniture sets.

What Items Can Fit in a Small Storage Unit?

While there are certainly size restrictions that come with our smallest units, these are perfect for many of your household items. Commonly stored items in small storage units include:

Electronics: Unused or old electronics like laptops, cameras, or gaming consoles.
Decorations: Holiday ornaments, lights, and other seasonal decorations.
Office Supplies: Excess office equipment and documents, especially for downsizing or decluttering a home office.
Personal Items: Books, clothes, and shoes.
Small Furniture: End tables, nightstands, and small desks.
Sporting Goods: Seasonal sports equipment like skis, snowboards, or golf clubs.
Tools & Equipment: Smaller tools and gardening equipment that are not used daily.

What Items Are Too Large for a Small Storage Unit?

Carefully assess the dimensions of your items and your storage unit. If in doubt, opt for a larger unit to ensure everything fits comfortably and safely. This will reduce the risk of damage during storage and retrieval. We recommend that you always measure both your larger furniture pieces and the storage unit door to ensure they can fit through without damage. For these items, consider a larger unit:

Appliances: Full-size refrigerators, washers, dryers, and stoves.
Bulky Sports Equipment: Kayaks, canoes, large treadmills, or exercise machines.
Large Furniture: Queen and king mattresses, sofas, armchairs, and large desks.
Large Musical Instruments: Grand pianos and large drum kits.
Outdoor Gear: Patio furniture, large grills, and garden statues or other large decorative items.
