Home Staging & Renovation Storage in Marietta, GA
Cobb County’s real estate market does not wait. Homes in Marietta, Smyrna, East Cobb, and the surrounding neighborhoods regularly attract multiple offers within days of listing — but only when they show well. A cluttered house with too much furniture, overstuffed closets, and personal items on every surface tells buyers the home is too small. A clean, staged home tells them it is move-in ready. The difference between the two often comes down to one thing: getting your stuff out of the way.
Ark Self Storage on Cobb Parkway offers storage for home staging and renovations in Marietta with units starting at $54 per month, month-to-month leases, no deposit, and 24/7 access. Whether you are a homeowner preparing to list, a real estate agent managing a staging project, a professional stager rotating inventory, or a contractor clearing rooms for a renovation, our Cobb Parkway facility makes it fast and affordable to move furniture out and get to work.
Storage for Home Staging
Professional home staging is one of the most effective ways to sell a home faster and for a higher price. The National Association of Realtors reports that staged homes sell 73% faster on average. But staging requires removing personal items, excess furniture, and anything that makes rooms feel smaller than they are. That furniture has to go somewhere.
Here is how storage supports a successful staging project:
- Clear the living areas — Remove oversized couches, extra chairs, bulky entertainment centers, and personal collections. A 10×10 unit ($124/mo) holds an entire living room and bedroom set.
- Declutter closets and storage areas — Buyers open every closet. If they are packed full, the home feels like it lacks storage. Move seasonal clothing, boxes, and overflow into a 5×5 ($54/mo) or 5×10 ($74/mo) unit so closets look spacious.
- Depersonalize the space — Family photos, trophies, religious items, and personal decor should come down during showings. A small storage unit keeps them safe and accessible.
- Store furniture between staging jobs — Professional stagers in Cobb County use our larger 10×15 and 10×20 units to store staging furniture, rugs, art, and accessories between client homes. 24/7 access means you can pick up and deliver on any schedule.
Storage for Home Renovations
Marietta’s established neighborhoods — from the historic homes near the Marietta Square to mid-century ranches in East Cobb — are popular targets for renovation projects. Whether you are updating a kitchen, refinishing hardwood floors, painting every room, or gutting a bathroom, furniture needs to come out before the work can begin.
- Kitchen remodel — Move appliances, tables, and kitchen overflow into a 5×10 or 10×10 unit. Keep your house livable while the kitchen is torn apart.
- Floor refinishing — Every piece of furniture on the floor needs to be moved out. A 10×10 or 10×15 clears an entire level of furniture for the crew to work unobstructed.
- Full-house renovation — Our 10×20 ($164/mo) holds the contents of a three-bedroom house. Move everything out, let the contractors work, and move it back when the job is done.
- Bathroom remodel — Smaller projects still need space. A 5×5 ($54/mo) holds linens, mirrors, fixtures, and bathroom furniture while the renovation is in progress.
- Protecting items from dust and debris — Renovation dust gets everywhere. Storing furniture and electronics off-site keeps them clean and undamaged. Climate-controlled units add protection from summer heat if the renovation runs long.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size storage unit do I need for home staging?
A 5×10 ($74/mo) holds one room. A 10×10 ($124/mo) holds a living room and bedroom. A 10×15 ($144/mo) handles two bedrooms plus common areas. Most Cobb County staging projects use a 10×10 or 10×15.
How long do most staging clients need storage?
Typically 1–3 months. Cobb County homes sell quickly once staged and listed. Our month-to-month leases mean you only pay for the time your home is on the market.
Should I use climate-controlled storage for staging furniture?
If storing wood or leather furniture during summer, yes. The upgrade is just $10/month and prevents warping, cracking, and mold. For short-term winter storage of durable items, standard units work fine.
