What Size Storage Unit Do I Need For A 2 Bed House?

For a 2 bed house, you’ll probably need a storage unit of 10x10 or 10x15, depending on the volume of items. If you’re moving from a bigger 2 bed house, you’ll probably have more items and may benefit from a bigger unit.

Whether you’re moving out of your 2 bed house, need somewhere to store items during renovation or going through staging, finding the right size storage unit for a 2 bed house can sometimes seem like an uphill battle.

At The Box Co., we are storage experts, helping to find you the most suitable and affordable storage solution to suit your exact needs. Get in touch with our friendly team today! 

What Is The Right Size Storage Unit For A 2 Bed House? 

Our storage experts usually recommend a storage unit of 10x10 (100 square feet) or 10x15 (150 square feet) for 2 bed homes; however, this will depend on a range of factors. 

When thinking about a standard 2 bed house, a 10x10 unit may be enough for the essentials. For example, you’ll likely have 2 sets of bedroom furniture as well as sofas and chairs from the lounge, maybe one dining set and kitchen appliances. 

The bigger the 2 bed property, the more storage space you’re likely to need. Similarly, the greater the volume of items you have, the more storage you’ll need - especially if you have lots of large or bulky items. If you’re trying to store multiple pieces of furniture or large appliances, rather than just storage boxes of items, a bigger storage unit might be better.

If you’re leaving a 2 bed house that also has a garage, shed, attic or basement of belongings, you’re going to have even more items that need storing. It might be worth considering a 10x15 or even a 10x20 size storage unit.

How Do You Know What Size Storage Unit To Use For A 2 Bed House?

If you’re trying to decide what size storage unit you need for a 2 bed house, there are a few things you can do to help. 

Inventory Your Items

Make a list of everything you need to pack up for storage including all furniture (from the 2 bedrooms as well as other rooms in the house like the kitchen, lounge or dining room). Have a think about the size of these items. For example, have you got lots of large furniture items and appliances to move? If so, you’ll probably need more storage space. 

As well as furniture and appliances, you should make an estimate of how many storage boxes of items you’ll need to store.

Measure Bigger Items

For large items like mattresses, wardrobes or sofas, it might be worth getting the measuring tape out and seeing exactly how big they are.

Once you have an idea of how much space your larger items will take up, you can have a think about which storage unit size might be right for you.

Consider Your Storage Needs

Before deciding what size storage unit you need for your 2 bed house, think about your storage needs. How long will you need your storage for? Will you need to add more items at a later date? Having this in mind will help you make the right choice for your needs.

If you think you’ll need to add more items at a later date, choosing a bigger storage unit to begin with could be more convenient than moving to another storage unit.

Is A 10x10 Storage Unit Big Enough For A 2 Bed House?

A 10 feet by 10 feet storage unit might be big enough for a 2 bed house but will depend on the size of the house and the volume of items you’re looking to store.

10x10 storage units give you 100 square feet of space which is often enough to fit in the contents of a standard 2-bed house, especially for houses with smaller living spaces.

If you have lots of pieces of furniture, multiple large appliances or white goods, 10x10 could be a tight squeeze. You may want to consider 10x15 or even 10x20 sized storage units, especially if you need to store multiple rooms’ worth of items.

Do You Need A Storage Unit For A 2 Bed House? 

You might not need an entire storage unit for a 2 bed house but this will depend on how many items you have and how long you need to store them for.

For example, if you’re looking for storage between buying and selling, there could be more convenient options than storing in a storage unit.

Alternative storage options might be a better and cheaper option, such as asking a friend or family member - especially if you only need short-term storage.

Another good option could be storage by-the-box. Rather than overpaying for an entire storage unit, you can pay for just the number of boxes you want to store.

The storage company will even collect your boxes from home and deliver them straight to your required address whenever you need them. This could be cheaper and more convenient than renting a storage unit.
