Self-Storage for Busy Twin Falls Families
Why Twin Falls Families Need Extra Space
Every family has its own story, but many share similar storage challenges:
Sports and Hobbies: Your kids might play soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring — that’s a lot of equipment! Instead of tripping over balls and bats, keep off-season sports gear in a storage unit until it’s needed. The same goes for hobbies; today it’s camping gear for
summer, tomorrow it’s holiday decorations for winter.
Blended or Multigenerational Households: Twin Falls is a tight-knit community, and sometimes family members come to stay for a while. Perhaps an elderly parent moves in, or two families combine into one home. During these transitions, duplicate furniture and appliances (extra couches,
fridges, beds) can take up space. Rather than hastily selling sentimental items, store them until you figure out what works in the new household.
Temporary Moves or Renovations: Is your family remodeling the kitchen, or building a new house and renting in the meantime? Self-storage is perfect for holding your furniture and belongings during the in-between period. It keeps your items safe and out of the way of construction dust.
Similarly, if you have a college student who moves home for the summer, you might need space to stash dorm room contents for a few months.
And let’s not forget spring cleaning! Many Twin Falls families do a big declutter when the weather warms. It’s easier to deep clean and organize when you can move seldom-used items (old toys, files, keepsakes) to storage. Out of sight doesn’t have to mean out of mind – it just means out of your crowded closets and in a secure place until you need them.
Tips for Staying Organized Year-Round
Using a storage unit is just the first step. Keeping it organized will make your life easier whenever you visit. Here are some pro tips for busy families:
Label Everything: This might sound obvious, but you’d be amazed how quickly one brown box looks like the next. Clearly mark boxes on multiple sides (“Winter Clothes 2025” or “Johnny’s Football Gear”) so you can identify contents without tearing everything open.
Use Clear Bins for Visibility: For items you’ll access often (like seasonal decorations or kids’ handme-down clothes), clear plastic bins let you see what’s inside at a glance. Bonus: they’re stackable, which maximizes your unit space.
Create an Aisle: If you rent anything larger than a closet-sized unit, try to leave a tiny walkway in the middle. This way you can walk in and reach boxes in the back without unloading half the unit. Arranging boxes against the walls and a path down the center works well.
Shelving is Your Friend: Consider a couple of lightweight shelf units for your storage space. They’re great for holding bins of smaller items like craft supplies, photo albums, or pantry overflow. Shelves use vertical space, meaning you fit more in without stacking boxes too high (safety first!).
Rotate Seasonal Items: Make a calendar reminder to swap items seasonally. In late fall, put summer stuff (camping gear, inflatable pool, bikes) into storage and bring home the winter holiday decor and space heaters. Come spring, reverse the process. This routine keeps your home uncluttered by only keeping current season items on hand.
With these practices, visiting your storage unit will be a quick grab-and-go, not a dreaded scavenger hunt.
Choosing the Right Unit Size for a Family
One of the top questions families ask is, “How much space do we need?” That depends on how much you plan to store, but here are some ballpark ideas:
A 5x5 unit (25 square feet) is like a walk-in closet. It’s great for boxes of clothes, toys, or a few pieces of furniture like lamps or end tables. If you just need to clear out one kid’s room or store seasonal decorations, this could work.
A 10x10 unit (100 square feet) is about half the size of a one-car garage. It can typically hold the contents of a 1-2 bedroom apartment (beds, dressers, sofa, and lots of boxes). This size is popular for families storing furniture during a remodel or all the sports gear and bikes in one place.
A 10x20 or 10x30 unit is like a full garage or longer. These can handle an entire household’s goods. If you’re in between homes or combining two households, the extra-large unit ensures you don’t have to sell or give away things you’ll need later. Park a car on one side and line up furnishings on
the other – there will be room to spare.
Feel free to use our online Unit Size Guide for a visual aid – it compares unit sizes to real-life examples (like how many boxes or furniture pieces fit in each). And if you’re still unsure, Storage Corner Twin Falls staff is just a phone call away to help you choose. We’ve seen it all and can recommend a size that fits your needs without overpaying for space you won’t use.
