A 10×15 storage unit hits that sweet spot in self storage – it’s not too big, nor is it too small. It’s the perfect size for storing furniture, appliances, and boxes, but still affordable compared to larger units. Due to its versatility, this size range sees 13% of domestic and 14% of business customers using it (according to the Self Storage Association UK’s 2024 report).
This 10×15 storage unit guide breaks down its dimensions, what you can actually fit inside, pricing, and whether or not it’s the right size for your storage needs.
How Big is 10×15?
A 10×15 storage unit, measuring 150 square feet, is about the size of a large bedroom or a standard one-car garage. Most units have ceilings between 7 and 10 feet, giving you up to 1,200 cubic feet when you fully use the height.
It’s typically seen as a middle to larger sized option that caters to people living in small apartments who just need to store a few more items for extra breathing room. Aside from small apartment dwellers, this size is also ideal for:
- Medium-sized households
- People between homes or renovating
- Businesses needing secure space for stock or equipment
- Anyone needing to clear out a garage or spare room
If you need a 10×15 storage unit while you’re setting up a new home, make sure you’ve got everything covered — check out our New Home Essentials Checklist for a complete guide on what to get.
What Can You Fit Inside a 10×15 storage unit?
The amount you can fit inside a 10×15 storage unit depends on the size of your items and how well you organise them. Most people can save 10–20% more space just by packing smartly and stacking efficiently.
In general, a 10×15 unit can comfortably hold the contents of a two- to three-bedroom home. That includes:
- Furniture – mattresses, wardrobes, dressers, sofas, dining sets
- Appliances – fridge, freezer, washing machines and other appliances suitable for storage
- 30–50 boxes or storage tubs
- Business stock or equipment – shelving, documents, spare fittings, and in some cases even support for running a business depending on how the unit is used
- Outdoor and seasonal items – bikes, garden tools, patio furniture
- Even a motorbike or scooter, depending on facility rules
The Benefits of a 10×15 Storage Unit
A 10×15 unit gives you the flexibility to store a lot — without paying for more space than you actually need. It’s that middle-ground size that suits a wide range of uses, from temporary storage during a move to long-term business overflow.
Here are some of the main benefits of choosing a 10×15 storage unit:
-
Plenty of room – 150 sq ft offers that sweet spot between not enough and too much to store your personal or business items.
-
Widely available – Most storage facilities keep a good number of 10×15 units in stock. Handy if you need something on short notice.
-
Cost-effective – Cheaper than upsizing to a larger unit when you don’t need the extra space. Great for long-term storage on a budget.
-
Versatile use – Works for home moves, student storage, business needs, renovations, or simply clearing out the garage.
-
Easier to manage – Big enough to walk into and organise properly, especially with shelving or designated zones.
-
Climate control options – Some facilities offer 10×15 units with climate control, helping protect items from humidity and extreme temperatures.
