Step 1: Inventory Your Belongings

The first step is to list all the items you intend to store:

• Large furniture: sofas, beds, tables, wardrobes.
• Appliances: refrigerators, washing machines, microwaves.
• Boxes and suitcases: how many and what size?
• Special items: bicycles, sports equipment, musical instruments.

Measure the larger items — dimensions are more important than weight. Remember that careful organization can save you space and costs.

Step 2: Use the Volume Rule

Step 3: Consider Access

If you need frequent access to your unit, reserve space for:

• An internal corridor for circulation.
• Frequent items near the entrance.
• Shelves for vertical organization.

This may mean choosing a unit 20-30% larger. Smart organization facilitates access and maximizes storage capacity.

4. Thinking only of the present - If you're going to accumulate more items, choose larger.
5. Choosing an inconvenient location - Ensure the unit is conveniently located.
