Why is the right storage size important?

Choosing the right amount of storage space is crucial for organising your belongings. Too small a unit may leave you short on space to fit all your things in an orderly manner, while an oversized one can lead to unnecessary expenses. For this reason, it is advisable to calculate the storage size in advance. With help of an in-depth storage size calculation, you can make avoid paying for more space than you need, while maintaining efficiency in your storage.

How does one calculate the optimal storage space?

Before renting a storage unit, ask yourself: How much usable storage space do I need? The required size depends on the type and quantity of items you plan to store. A good rule of thumb is: The full household contents of about 20 m² living space requires about 2 m² storage space. About 10–12 % of your living space are sufficient as storage space to meet standard storage needs, regardless of your home’s size. This simple method can help you calculate storage size and estimate whether you’ll need a smaller or larger unit. If you are unsure, Lager.de offers a storage size calculator to analyse your individual requirements in-depth and calculate the storage capacity that is best for you.

Save space with smart storage

Efficiently arranging your items can save significant space. Stack sturdy boxes on top of each other, take furniture apart, and use the full height of your vertical storage space. These techniques can help you maximise storage space, potentially allowing you to rent a smaller unit than anticipated. If you plan your storage size calculation well, you might be surprised at how much you can fit into one box.
