Square Meter Storage Size Guide

Some customers think in square meters instead of cubic meters. As a general guide:

The exact space required depends on the size of your furniture, how items are packed, and whether items can be stacked safely.

How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size

Choosing the correct storage size depends on four main things:

The number of rooms you want to store
The amount of furniture and appliances
How many boxes you have
Whether the items can be stacked safely

For example, if you only have suitcases and small boxes, a 1 CBM locker may be enough. If you are storing a studio apartment, a 10 CBM unit is usually more suitable. If you have furniture from a 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom apartment, you may need 15 CBM or 20 CBM. For larger apartments, villas, or business inventory, 30 CBM, 40 CBM, or 60 CBM may be more practical.
