What Size Storage Unit Do You Need for a 2-Bedroom Apartment?

A small apartment featurign a bed a chair and a table

Most people moving from a 2-bedroom apartment will need a 10x10 or 10x15 storage unit. A 10x10 unit fits the contents of two bedrooms, a living room, and kitchen items. If you have large furniture or extra boxes, a 10x15 offers more space and flexibility.

Why Unit Size Matters

Choosing the right unit size can save you money and stress. A unit that’s too small will be hard to organize, while an oversized unit might cost more than necessary. The goal is to match your needs with the right space.

What Typically Comes from a 2-Bedroom Apartment?

A standard 2-bedroom apartment move might include:

  • 2 beds (queen or full)
  • 1-2 dressers and nightstands
  • A sofa and coffee table
  • Dining table and chairs
  • TV stand or shelving units
  • Boxes with kitchenware, clothes, and decor

Best Fit: 10x10 Storage Unit

A 10x10 unit (100 square feet) is about half the size of a standard garage. It fits furniture and about 20-30 moving boxes comfortably. It works well if your furniture is standard size and you organize items with shelves or stackable boxes.

Need More Room? Go 10x15

If you have bulkier items like sectionals, extra mattresses, or lots of packed boxes, a 10x15 unit gives you 50% more space. It's also better if you want walking space or access to things while in storage.

Tips to Maximize Your Unit:

  • Disassemble furniture: Take apart bed frames and tables.
  • Use vertical space: Stack boxes and use shelves if allowed.
  • Label everything: Make retrieval easier later.
  • Leave an aisle: So you can reach items in the back.

Climate-Controlled Units for Delicate Items

If you're storing electronics, wood furniture, or anything sensitive to heat and humidity, consider a climate-controlled unit. This is especially useful in hot states like Florida, Georgia, or Mississippi where summer heat can damage belongings.
