25 sq ft
A few stacks of boxes, a bicycle and a small piece of furniture. People often compare it with a large cupboard or a garden shed, but ceiling height and how tightly you pack change what fits.
Plan your storage
What size storage unit do I need for a studio flat?
Start by considering a 35 sq ft unit for a studio flat. That is a planning allowance for packed belongings, not the floor area of the flat. It can suit boxes, a compact sofa and a bed that dismantles, provided tall items can stand safely and boxes can be stacked. A furnished rental may need much less space if the bed, wardrobe and appliances belong to the landlord.
List the things that will actually leave with you. A large sofa, an assembled wardrobe or a mattress that must lie flat can change the result considerably. Measure those pieces before paying for a unit, including their height and the width needed at the door. If you expect to collect clothes or work equipment during the stay, switch on the access allowance below.
The calculator starts with the studio preset. Add rooms or individual items to check it against your belongings; the largest estimate is used. Ask the store to confirm the layout and keep everyday essentials with you during the move.
We do not currently have a sourced price for 35 sq ft; ask a provider for a written quote. These are dated examples, not a UK average. Prices checked November 2026; extras and availability must be confirmed.

Picture the possibilities
A size for every
sort of move.
Compare all seven starting sizes. Actual room shapes, ceiling heights and door openings vary between stores.
35 sq ft
The contents of a studio, or a room of boxes plus a sofa or a bed, if the rest of the flat is travelling with you or being sold.
50 sq ft
A one-bedroom flat packed with a bit of care, or a double bedroom plus boxes, a mattress and a wardrobe.
75 sq ft
A two-bedroom home if you are not storing every appliance, or a one-bedroom flat where you want an aisle so you can reach things.
100 sq ft
A three-bedroom house packed reasonably, including the larger furniture, as long as sofas and mattresses are not all stored flat on the floor.
150 sq ft
A larger family home, or a three-bedroom house where you want to walk between rows rather than unpack the door every time.
200 sq ft
A four- or five-bedroom house, house-clearance volume, or stock that needs floor space. Above this, ask a store about more than one unit.

A little more clarity
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Can a studio flat fit in 25 sq ft?
It may if you mainly have boxes and small items, or the large furniture stays in the flat. Start with an inventory and check dimensions rather than assuming all studios have the same contents.
Are the calculator prices a quote for my local store?
No. They use dated monthly tariffs from Rugeley Self Storage and Green Oak Self Storage. Location, availability, extras and contract terms affect your quote. Check the linked sources and ask for a written total.
