Got a spare room that's become a dumping ground for random household items? Or looking for one to store your belongings in? Spare room storage is one of the most versatile options available on peer-to-peer platforms — indoor, secure, climate-controlled, and easy to access.
Why Spare Rooms Are Great for Storage
Compared to garages or sheds, spare rooms offer:
- Indoor conditions: No damp, no temperature extremes
- Security: Inside a locked, occupied house
- Easy access: No pulling down ladders or opening heavy doors
- Clean environment: Carpeted or hard flooring, painted walls
- Good for fragile items: Electronics, artwork, clothing all safe
Typical Spare Room Storage Prices
- Dublin: €55–€110/month
- Cork/Galway: €45–€80/month
- Other areas: €35–€65/month
What Fits in a Spare Room?
An average spare bedroom (3m x 3m) can hold:
- 15–25 standard moving boxes stacked
- A single bed, wardrobe, and desk with room to spare
- A full wardrobe's worth of clothing in vacuum-packed bags and boxes
- Musical instruments, sports equipment, and hobby items
For Hosts: Earning from Your Empty Room
If you have a spare bedroom that's sitting empty — children moved out, guest room never used — it could earn you €500–€1,200/year on Packhood. It's less hassle than Airbnb (no guests to manage, no cleaning, no bedding changes) and the income is equally passive.
