If you’re planning a home renovation, move, or major cleanout, one of the first questions that comes up is: “How much can I fit inside a storage container?” At A-Verdi Storage Containers, we make it simple — most people can measure storage needs in bedrooms worth of furniture.
20’ Storage Container: Perfect for Residential Use
Our 20-foot storage container is the most popular choice for homeowners across New York. With about 1,165 cubic feet of space, it can typically hold the contents of a 2–3 bedroom home, including:
Beds, dressers, and nightstands
Sofas, chairs, and coffee tables
Dining table and chairs
Appliances like a refrigerator, washer, or dryer
Dozens of moving boxes
This makes it the ideal solution if you’re renovating a kitchen, remodeling bedrooms, replacing flooring, or temporarily moving furniture out of the way.
Why 20’ Works Best for Homes
Unlike larger units, a 20’ container can be delivered on a rollback flatbed truck — the same kind of truck used for towing vehicles. That means it’s much easier to maneuver into a driveway, yard, or tight residential space without the need for oversized equipment.
In contrast, a 40’ container requires a full tractor trailer for delivery, which is great for commercial or jobsite projects but not practical for most homes. That’s why we recommend the 20’ container as the go-to size for residential customers.
Quick Guide: 20’ Storage Container = 2–3 Bedrooms
If you’re wondering whether a 20’ unit is enough, here’s the rule of thumb:
Small apartment or 1-bedroom home → More than enough room
2–3 bedroom home → A perfect fit for furniture and boxes
4+ bedroom home → You may need multiple 20’ containers depending on how much you’re moving or storing

Every A-Verdi container is clean, secure, and rodent-proof, making it the perfect on-site storage option during your renovation or move. Plus, we handle delivery, placement, and pickup, so all you need to do is fill it up.
Bottom line: A 20’ storage container is the residential sweet spot, offering just the right balance of size, delivery convenience, and storage capacity to hold the contents of a typical 2–3 bedroom home.
