First of all, make an inventory of everything you need to store in the storage room. Measure boxes, furniture, bicycles, sports equipment… or any other object you want to store. And organize your belongings into different categories. In this way, you will be able to get an idea of the space you will need in square meters.
2. Calculate the ideal size of the storage room
Once you have prepared the inventory, you can calculate the space. The dimensions of the storage rooms and furniture repositories play a crucial role. We share with you a guide as a reference, so you can get an idea of what might fit you:
- 1m2. A storage room of this size is ideal for storing a bicycle or 10 boxes, as well as a small desk.
- 2m2. If you want to store in your storage room appliances such as a refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, along with 15 boxes, this size would be ideal. It could also house in another 2m2 storage room a single bed with mattress, desk and three-seater sofa.
- 4m2. This size of storage room is sufficient to store the contents of a 50m2 apartment with one room.
- 6-8m2. Perfect for storing the contents of a 70m2 apartment with 2-3 rooms.
- +10m2. For pallets or houses of more than 150m2.
