It’s a new year and you finally decided to clean house and rent Napa storage units! But it turns out, deciding how large of a storage unit you may need is a tough question to answer. Do you rent smaller thinking it will all Tetris in, only to find out you have more stuff than you realized? Or do you rent larger to be on the safe side to end up with half an empty storage unit? Choosing the right size when renting public storage can be hard, but keep these thoughts in mind when deciding.

Renting a Larger Unit

Renting a larger unit can seem unnecessary when you only have a few items to store but keep in mind if you will be adding more to your storage unit in the near future. The last thing you want is to rent a unit to find out a couple of months from now that the couch and dining set you were inheriting doesn’t quite all fit in the smaller unit. Now you have to spend the day moving everything into a larger public storage unit.

Renting a Smaller Unit

If you have just a few items and don’t foresee the need to add more items in the future, consider renting a smaller unit. A big pro is that you’ll save money. Renting a smaller unit can also restrict how much clutter you may add to your unit if you like to hold onto everything.
