One of the most common questions we hear at Storage King is: “What storage unit size do I need for a 1-bedroom flat in Kent?” On average most one-bedroom homes need at least 50 sq ft of storage space, up to 100 sq ft.
The answer depends on how much furniture you own, how you pack, and whether you want space to move around inside the unit to add or remove items later. To help, we’ve broken down the typical storage unit sizes that work best for a one-bedroom apartment.
Storage Sizes That Fit a 1-Bedroom Flat
Let's discuss a few simple rules of thumb for the space required to store the contents of a one-bedroom flat.
50 Sq Ft Unit: Roughly the size of half a garage. This works well if you have minimal furniture and mostly boxes, plus a bed, a sofa, and a few small appliances.
75 Sq Ft Unit: About the size of a small garage. Ideal for a standard one-bedroom flat with a bed, sofa, wardrobe, dining table, white goods, and around 40–50 boxes.
100 Sq Ft Unit: Similar in size to a single garage. Perfect if you have bulkier furniture, hobby equipment like bikes, or want extra space to access your belongings easily.
As a Rule of Thumb: A 75 sq ft unit is the most common choice for a furnished one-bedroom home in Kent, but if you prefer a little breathing room or have larger items, go for a 100 sq ft unit.
What Can You Fit in These Units?
For a typical one-bedroom flat, here’s what you can expect to store in a 50 to 100 sq ft unit:
- One bed and a mattress
- One sofa or armchairs
- Wardrobe and chest of drawers
- Dining table and chairs
- Small kitchen appliances (fridge, washing machine, microwave)
- Around 40 medium boxes from the Storage King box shop
With 100 sq ft, you’ll have room for all of the above, plus extra items such as bicycles, sports gear, seasonal clothing or larger furniture.
