Not all storage needs are the same. Some people need a place for a few extra boxes during a move. Others want to store furniture, sports gear, or seasonal decorations. That is why choosing the right storage space is so important. Picking a unit that is too small leads to clutter and damage. Choosing one that is too big means you pay for space you do not use.
With the right approach, you can make a practical decision that fits both your belongings and your budget.
Start with an Inventory
Before thinking about measurements or room types, write down what you plan to store. This will give you a clear idea of volume, weight, and how delicate your items are. Stackable boxes take less space. Fragile items need more breathing room. Common items stored include:
- Luggage, boxes and household tools
- Mattresses, sofas and wardrobes
- Bicycles, golf bags and outdoor gear
- Electronics, books and personal archives
Once you list what you plan to store, group them by size and storage condition. It helps when you check size options.
Understand Common Storage Sizes
Storage providers usually offer rooms in square metre categories. While names may vary, here is a rough guide to what each size fits:
- 0.5–1.5 sq m: Good for documents, small boxes or luggage. Equivalent to a closet
- 2–3 sq m: Fits contents of a small studio apartment. Works well for seasonal storage
- 4–5 sq m: Suitable for a one-bedroom apartment’s worth of furniture and appliances
- 6–8 sq m: Can hold larger furniture or multiple sets of household goods
- 10+ sq m: Ideal for families storing contents from a full home
Visualise the unit like a room. Think about height as well as width. Many items can be stacked safely to save ground space. Check if the facility allows shelf installation or has trolleys for easier handling. These details improve your experience without increasing size.

Final Word
The right storage space [ที่เก็บของ, which is the term in Thai] is one that matches your belongings without adding unnecessary cost. Start by listing what you own. Compare it with standard room sizes. Factor in how often you will visit the unit. And always choose a provider that supports you with the flexibility you need. Your future self will thank you.
