How do I calculate how many storage cabinets I need for my office?

Start by inventorying what needs to be stored: measure or estimate the linear feet of files, categorize loose supplies, and identify oversized items needing storage. Convert to cabinet space: a standard 36-inch-wide, 4-shelf cabinet provides approximately 144 linear inches of shelf storage. A 36-inch-wide, 2-drawer file cabinet holds about 72 linear inches of hanging folders. Compare needed storage capacity with per-cabinet capacity, then add 20-30% buffer for growth. Don't forget to factor in door swing clearance and aisle access when planning how many cabinets can physically fit in your space.
