Storage Unit Types and Sizes

Choosing the right furniture storage unit size is essential for protecting your belongings and saving money. Furniture storage facilities offer a wide range of options for everything from a few small boxes to the contents of an entire home.

Extra-small units – Storage for boxes and small items

Extra-small storage units, often called lockers, are compact spaces ideal for items that do not require much room. These units typically range from approximately 0.6m x 0.6m to 1.5m x 1.5m, with a ceiling height of around 1.2m.

Imagine a space slightly larger than a standard hallway closet – perfect for freeing up space without renting a larger furniture storage unit.

These lockers are ideal for seasonal decorations, important documents, small electronics, or sports equipment. A typical unit of around 2.3 m² can hold up to 10 cardboard boxes, a single mattress, or a small table. Given the limited space, you should choose the right cardboard box size for your belongings to make the best use of the unit.

Businesses find these mini furniture storage options budget-friendly for storing records, small inventory items, or office supplies.

Small units – Storage for personal belongings

Small storage units range from 5’x5′ to 5’x10′ (approximately 2.3 m² to 4.6 m²), providing around 200-400 cubic feet (approximately 5.6 – 11.3 cubic meters) of space.

These furniture storage units function like spacious walk-in closets and are perfect for storing personal belongings during a move or between seasons.

A 5’x10′ unit (approximately 4.6 m²) can hold the contents of a studio apartment, including more than 20 large cardboard boxes and 2 large pieces of furniture. Its height lets you store items vertically – with enough room for a queen-size mattress, storage cabinet, TV, and several boxes.

These self-storage options (a type of furniture storage) are popular with students, apartment residents, and anyone who needs to store belongings temporarily.

Medium units – Furniture storage for 1-2 rooms

Medium-sized units – including configurations such as 2,3 x 3 m and 3 x 3 m, equivalent to approximately 7 m² and 9,3 m² – offer ample storage space suitable for many households. For example, 9,3 m² is about the size of a standard bedroom, while the storage volume can reach 22,6 m³.

These medium-sized furniture storage units can hold furniture and belongings from one to two bedrooms. A standard 3 x 3 m unit can easily accommodate around 40 large cardboard boxes, along with bulky furniture such as beds, wardrobes, dining tables, or even a small trailer. With this unit size, you can comfortably store everything from a 2-bedroom apartment without worrying about running out of space.

Medium-sized units are ideal for anyone seeking the right balance between space and storage rental costs, especially when renovating a home or relocating temporarily. The spacious, versatile, and cost-effective setup gives you greater control over organizing and protecting your belongings.

Large units – Storage for an entire household

Large furniture storage units range from 3 x 4,5 m to 3 x 7,6 m (equivalent to 13,9 m² to 23,2 m²), giving you plenty of space for substantial storage needs.

For example, a 3 x 4,5 m unit (approximately 13,9 m²) – about the size of a large bedroom – can hold all the belongings from a two-bedroom apartment or a small house. You can easily store electronics, multiple sets of furniture, and plenty of large cardboard boxes in this type of unit.

If you need even more room, a 3 x 6 m unit (approximately 18,6 m²) provides space comparable to a standard single-car garage and can accommodate all the belongings from a three-bedroom house. With this much space, you can organize items systematically and create aisles between them for easy access whenever needed.

These large furniture storage solutions are well suited to families who are moving, renovating, or need to store many belongings for an extended period — offering ample room while giving you greater control over managing and protecting your possessions.

Extra-large units – Storage for business items or bulky goods

Extra-large furniture storage units (from 3 x 9 m upward, or approximately 27,9 m² and above) provide maximum storage space for exceptionally large requirements. A 3 x 9 m unit (approximately 27,9 m²) is comparable in size to a large parking space and can hold all the belongings from a 4–5-bedroom house.

These large-scale shared storage units can accommodate extensive furniture collections, appliances, personal vehicles, and even commercial goods or inventory. Some furniture storage facilities also offer special sizes such as 4,5 x 7,6 m, 6 x 10,7 m, or custom dimensions to meet any specialized storage requirement.

Extra-large units are ideal for businesses that need warehouse-style space, industrial equipment storage, or room for vehicles and household belongings in the same unit.

The wide variety of furniture storage unit sizes makes it easy to choose the solution that best fits your budget and storage needs, whether for personal or business use.
