The cost of storage for a one-bedroom flat in Acton depends mainly on the size of the storage unit you choose and how much furniture you need to store. In most cases, a 50 to 75 sq ft storage unit is sufficient for the contents of a typical one-bedroom home.
Prices also vary based on availability, length of stay and current offers, but established providers like Storage King offer flexible terms, a price match promise* to guarantee great value and secure facilities designed for both short- and long-term storage. In this guide, we will answer the question: “What storage unit is sufficient for a one-bedroom flat in Acton?”, so you can choose the right space with confidence.
What Size Storage Unit Do You Need for a 1-Bedroom Flat?
For most people, the contents of a one-bedroom flat fit comfortably into units between 50 and 75 square feet. These sizes are designed to hold the main furniture items from a one-bedroom home while still allowing safe stacking of smaller furnishings and boxes.
Smaller 50 sq ft storage units are suitable for compact one-bedroom flats or minimalist homes. With proper packing, a one-bedroom home will fit inside comfortably.
A 75 sq ft storage unit is better suited for homes with a bulkier furniture item or a couple more boxes. Plus, it will be easier to move inside the unit.
These unit sizes are available at Storage King in Acton, offering storage units that Acton residents can rely on during moves, renovations or during temporary relocations.
What Can You Fit into a 50 to 75 Sq Ft Unit?
A unit in this range can store the contents of most one-bedroom flats, including items like:
- A double bed and mattress
- Sofa or armchair
- Dining table
- Wardrobe or chest of drawers
- Bedside tables
- Kitchenware, crockery and cookware
- Lamps, rugs and mirrors
- 20 to 40 medium moving boxes

When Would You Need a Larger Storage Unit (100+ Sq Ft)?
You may need to pick a 100 sq ft or larger unit if:
- Your flat has multiple large furniture items
- You are storing a few large appliances (fridges or washing machines)
- You want walk-in access to your items
- You are not dismantling beds or wardrobes
- You are storing additional business or seasonal items at a later period
The benefit of a larger unit is that it offers flexibility and makes it easier to access belongings without unpacking everything from the room first.
