(A simple storage space sizes, human guide by EZ Storage Singapore)
When it comes to choosing a storage unit, most people worry about only one thing: “How big should my storage space be?”
And trust us, you’re not alone. At EZ Storage, we get this question almost every single day. Some customers think they need a huge unit, but actually need much less; others underestimate their items and end up squeezing everything like Tetris pieces.
So let’s break it down, human-to-human, no technical jargon. Just simple explanations to help you pick the right storage space size without paying more than you should.
Why Storage Space Sizes Matter More Than You Think
Most storage companies in Singapore offer sizes like 20 sqft, 40 sqft, 80 sqft, 100 sqft, 160 sqft and so on.
But what do those numbers even mean?
What does 40 sqft look like in real life?
Can a queen bed, 20 boxes, or a sofa fit?
Choosing the wrong size means:
- Paying for space you don’t use
- Stressing out when items don’t fit
- Needing to upsize last minute (annoying and expensive)
The right size = smooth experience + correct monthly storage cost + peace of mind.
