Household goods storage means keeping the furniture, large appliances, boxes and personal belongings from your home in a secure warehouse for a period of time. At Troy Depo, it all runs under a single contract: we pick up your belongings from your home, disassemble and pack them, place them in one of our partner warehouses and bring them back to your new address when you're ready. The monthly fee is based on the volume your belongings take up and the location of the warehouse.
The stories of the families who come to us tend to sound alike. Their building has been slated for urban renewal (earthquake-driven redevelopment), and the contractor has said "eighteen months," but nobody quite believes it. Or a kitchen renovation has started and the living room is buried in dust. Sometimes the handover date for the old home arrives before the keys to the new one do. Whatever the reason, the need is the same: your belongings have to stay somewhere safe for a while and be just as you left them when you come back.
Who Is Household Goods Storage For?
Most of our calls come from families whose buildings are going through urban renewal. Once the demolition decision is made, the home has to be emptied completely, and when construction will finish usually remains uncertain. We cover this process separately on our urban renewal storage page.
The second large group is people having renovation work done. New parquet floors or a kitchen replacement take two weeks on paper; in practice, dust gets everywhere, and moving things from room to room wears out both the workers and you. People going abroad for a few years for work or study, those who want to rent out their home and store their belongings, and those moving to a smaller home who aren't ready to part with some pieces yet also often choose storage. People whose move-out and move-in dates don't line up usually look for a short-term solution.
How Much Space Do You Need for Your Home Size?
Since volume is what really determines the price, this is always the first question. The number of rooms is a good starting point, but it isn't enough on its own. In the same two-bedroom (2+1) apartment, a bookcase filled to the ceiling versus an almost empty study can make a difference of several cubic meters.
| Home type | Approximate volume | Typical contents |
|---|---|---|
| 1+1 (1 bedroom) | 10 - 15 m³ | Living room set, bedroom, kitchen, large appliances |
| 2+1 (2 bedrooms) | 15 - 25 m³ | Two bedrooms, living room, dining table, large appliances |
| 3+1 (3 bedrooms) | 25 - 35 m³ | A full family home; packed closets and bookcases add volume quickly |
If you want to calculate your own home piece by piece, our how many m³ of storage do I need guide will help. Still, the most accurate figure comes from the on-site survey: our team visits your home, sees your belongings in person and measures them. The survey is free.
Household Goods Storage Prices
The monthly fee depends on two things: the volume stored and the location of the warehouse. If you want moving, packing and insurance, these are listed as separate items in the quote. That way, you can see exactly what you're paying for from the start.

How Does the Process Work?
The first step is the on-site survey. We visit your home, look at your belongings, work out the volume and give you a written quote. Once you approve the quote, we schedule moving day.
On moving day, our team starts with the pieces that need to be disassembled: wardrobes, bed bases, large tables. Fragile items, textiles and furniture are each packed with the right materials. Every box is numbered and an inventory list is kept, so months later you won't be wondering "which box was that dinner set in?"
Our team transports your belongings to the warehouse and places them there. Heavy pieces go on the bottom, fragile items on top, and boxes you may need often are kept near the door. When it's time to bring everything back, just give us a date. Your belongings are moved to your new address, and if you like, we'll reassemble your furniture too.
Private Room or Container?
We offer two options for household goods, and the difference between them really comes down to one question: will you need to get to your belongings while they're in storage?
If so, a lockable private room is the better fit. You can stop by during business hours to pick up your winter clothes or add a box. If your belongings will stay untouched until your storage period ends, container storage is more economical. Access to containers is limited and by appointment only. If you can't decide, we'll look at it together during the survey; more often than not, the answer becomes obvious once we look at the list of items.
Which Household Items Can Be Stored?
Furniture, large appliances, electronics, textiles, books, kitchenware and boxed personal belongings can be stored without any problem. Perishable food, flammable and explosive substances, live plants and pets, however, are not accepted. You can find the full list in our what can be kept in storage article.
Some types of items need a little extra care. We've prepared separate guides for them: furniture storage, appliance storage, electronics storage and how to store a rug.
How Are Your Belongings Protected in Storage?
The warehouses we work with are facilities that meet standards for security, climate control and pest control. For household goods stored long term, the risk you'll run into far more often than theft is moisture; wooden furniture and textiles can pick up a musty smell within a few months in a damp basement. That's why, especially for long-term storage, we recommend well-ventilated, humidity-controlled spaces. If you'd like extra protection for your belongings against fire, flooding and theft, there's also an insured household storage option.
Which Cities Do We Serve?
We work with more than 20 partner warehouses in Istanbul, Kocaeli, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa and Antalya. If you live in Istanbul, you can find the page for your district via our Istanbul household storage page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is household goods storage the same as home storage?
Yes. Both mean keeping the belongings from your home in a secure warehouse for a period of time. Some companies say "home storage," others say "household goods storage"; the service is the same.
Can I store just a few pieces instead of my entire home?
Yes. You can rent storage for a few boxes, a single bedroom or just your large appliances. The space is based on the volume stored, and there are small spaces for small volumes.
Can I pack my belongings myself?
Sure. You can pack the boxes yourself and leave the transport and storage to us. Even so, we recommend leaving furniture disassembly and the packing of fragile items to our team; most damage happens during these two steps.
Can I access my belongings in storage?
With private room storage, you can visit your unit whenever you like during business hours. With container storage, access is limited and by appointment only, so we recommend keeping items you'll need from time to time in a private room.
How long can I store my belongings?
The minimum term is 1 month. You can extend the contract for as long as you need; when you want your belongings back, just give us a date.
