Assessing Your Storage Requirements

Before you embark on your search for a self-storage unit, it’s essential to assess the volume and types of items you’ll be storing.

This inventory will serve as your guide in selecting the appropriate unit size.

 

Common Self-Storage Unit Sizes for a 1-bedroom apartment

Self-storage facilities across the UK offer a variety of unit sizes to cater to different storage needs. While dimensions can vary slightly between facilities, the following are approximate unit sizes that are suitable for storing the contents of a typical 1-bedroom apartment:

 

• 35 sq ft Unit: This compact unit is perfect for storing the essentials of a 1-bedroom apartment. It can accommodate furniture items such as sofa, beds, mattresses, small appliances, boxed items, and personal effects.

• 50 sq ft Unit: If you have slightly more items to store in addition to the above such as desk and chair, suitcases, chest of drawers and several boxes a 50 square foot unit would be a suitable option.

• 75 sq ft Unit: This size provides ample space for the contents of a typical 1-bedroom apartment, including larger furniture items and appliances, plus sports equipment.

Choosing the Right Size

 

Selecting the right self-storage unit size involves careful consideration of your belongings and how efficiently you pack them. To help you make an informed decision, first identify items that are essential for your daily living and items that you can store away for longer periods. This will help you determine how much space you truly need. Also focus on efficient packing – disassemble furniture when possible, particularly beds and wardrobes. Also consider space-saving techniques like stacking boxes vertically to make the most of the available space. Remember our units are 7ft high.

Selecting the right self-storage unit size for the contents of a typical 1-bedroom apartment is a critical step in having an organised moving or renovating experience. By assessing your storage needs, prioritising your belongings, and using efficient packing techniques, you can confidently choose a unit that suits your requirements. Whether you’re transitioning between homes, decluttering, or simply need extra space, a well-chosen self-storage unit can provide you with the peace of mind that your possessions are safe and accessible whenever you need them.

Our storage units are all 7ft high so larger items such as mattresses and sofas can be stored vertically.

Choosing the Right Size

 

The choice of the right unit size depends on factors like the number of items you have, their size and your personal preferences. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:

1. Create a Layout: Sketch a rough layout of how you plan to arrange your items within the storage unit. This will give you a better understanding of how much space you’ll need.
2. Stack Vertically: Use vertical space by stacking items such as boxes and smaller furniture items. Our units are 7ft high but make sure to stack items safely. Remember, we also have a storage collection service and will load the unit(s) for you to make best use of the space.
3. Consider Future Needs: If you anticipate acquiring more items in the future, it’s a good idea to choose a slightly larger unit to accommodate potential growth.
4. Climate-Controlled Units: If you’re storing delicate or sensitive items like electronics, artwork, or antiques, consider opting for a climate-controlled unit to ensure their protection from temperature and humidity fluctuations.

 

Selecting the right size self-storage unit for your typical 2-bedroom apartment involves careful consideration of your belongings and their spatial requirements. By assessing your needs, creating an inventory, and taking advantage of efficient packing techniques, you can make the most of your chosen unit.
