If you’ve never rented a storage room before it can be tricky to work out the size you need. In this blog, we share the different sized storage rooms to help you choose the right size storage room for your needs and requirements.
How much space do I need?
As a rule, it is recommended that for each room of stuff you have increase the amount of storage you need, for example:
- For a studio apartments or a shed: 25-50 sq ft
- 1-2 rooms or a small flat: 50-100 sq ft
- 2-3 rooms: 100-150 sq ft
- 3-4 rooms: 150-200 sq ft
- 5+ rooms: 200-300 sq ft
Small storage room – 25 sq ft – 50 sq ft
A small storage room is great if you plan on storage about a room full of stuff. They are about the same size as a garden shed or approximately half the size of a transit van.
A small storage unit can hold items such as:
- Garden supplies and equipment
- Seasonal clothing or decorations
- Small pieces of furniture
- Bikes and other sports equipment
Medium storage room – 75 sq ft – 125 sq ft
A medium storage room is great if you plan on storing about 2-3 rooms of stuff. They are about the same size as a garage or approximately the size of a transit van.
A medium storage unit can hold items such as:
- Large appliances
- Double bed
- Bulkier pieces of furniture, such as wardrobes and sofas
- Bikes and other larger pieces of sporting equipment
- Mattresses
Large storage room – 150 sq ft – 200 sq ft
A large storage room is perfect if you are storing the contents of a 4 bedroom house. They are about the same size as a double garage or approximately the size of a 7.5 tonne box van.
A large storage unit can hold items such as:
- Business inventory or stock
- Large pieces of furniture
- Multiple beds
