Long distance move or office relocation is a tedious affair and cannot be accomplished easily. In fact to plan the storage requirements beforehand, the home or office owner has to have the best idea about the volume of goods and amount of furniture that he/she needs to get transferred to the new location. To store the stuffs you will need special storage supplies like packing boxes and plastic containers that will protect delicate items from damages of any sort. A storage guide can help you arrange for the right supplies and best quality services during your household relocation.
Several good moving companies offer storage services to their clients. You can get an average estimate of how much space you need to keep all your belongings stored by consulting the representatives of the moving companies. Approximately 50 square feet area is required for storing all items of a studio flat or bed-sit apartments. The storage space is sufficient to accommodate about 10-12 medium sized boxes and one double bed, bedside table, lamps, carpet, television, chairs and bikes. About 100 square feet area can accommodate items of a two bedroom flat or house. It will include items like kitchen furniture, beds, dining table, chairs, home appliances, garden furniture and 20 medium sized boxes containing other items.
To accommodate items of a larger sized house, you might need average 140-180 square feet area. It will include furniture of kitchen, dining room, bedroom, garden and lounge. Once you have decided the amount of storage space and other necessities required for the relocation go ahead with rest of the planning.
