What storage unit size do you need for a 1-bedroom flat in Kramerville?

Choosing a storage unit shouldn’t feel like guesswork. If you’re packing up a one-bedroom flat and want the perfect fit without paying for space you’ll never use, you’re in the right place. Need to figure out what storage unit size works best for a one-bedroom flat in Kramerville? Let’s make it easy for you. 

At Stor-Age Sandton Kramerville, you’ll find clean, secure and easy-access units built for apartment living, seasonal storage and everything in between.  

Here’s how to choose the size that actually works for you. 

What size storage unit do you need for a 1-bedroom flat? 

If you are storing the contents of a typical one-bedroom flat in Kramerville, a 6m²–9m² storage unit is usually the best match. This range gives enough space for: 

  • Bedroom furniture such as a bed, side tables and a chest of drawers. 
  • Living room items like a couch, TV stand and small appliances. 
  • Kitchen essentials and boxes. 
  • Personal items, décor, documents and seasonal gear. 
  • Smaller units work for limited items, while larger ones suit bulky appliances or extra household goods.

Why a 6m²-9m² unit works best 

”storage

It fits a full one-bedroom set of furniture 

Most one-bedroom flats in Sandton and Kramerville follow similar size patterns, meaning your bedroom, lounge and kitchen items fit comfortably within this range. 

It allows for safe stacking 

Using vertical space helps you maximise the space in the unit. With sturdy shelves and careful stacking, you can keep items protected and easy to access. 

It gives extra room for future items 

If you plan to add seasonal items, sports equipment or business stock, a little extra space saves you upgrading later. 

It offers good value 

You only pay for the space you need. A unit that is too small leads to cramped packing, while one that is too big increases your monthly cost without benefit. 

What fits in a 3m² storage unit in Sandton? 

This is one of the common questions we hear from customers at Stor-Age Sandton Kramerville.  

A 3m² unit suits: 

  • 10 to 15 medium boxes 
  • Small side tables 
  • A TV or monitor 
  • Sporting gear 
  • Seasonal clothing 

If you are storing the full contents of a one-bedroom flat, a 3m² unit will be too small. 

How to Choose the Right Unit Size 

Choosing a storage unit becomes much easier when you know exactly what you’re storing and how you plan to organise your space. Use the steps below to find the right fit for your one-bedroom flat in Kramerville. 

Create a full inventory 

List everything you plan to store and measure any large items. This gives you a clear idea of the space you’ll need and helps you avoid choosing a unit that’s too small. 

Maximise vertical space 

Storage units are measured in square metres, but the height matters too. Stack your boxes, use shelving and store lighter items on top to make the most of your unit. 

Plan for future storage needs 

If you expect to add more items later, choose the larger end of the 6m²-9m² range. Upsizing now can save you from having to move units later. 

Compare your options 

Visit the Stor-Age Sandton Kramerville store page to explore unit sizes, pricing and features. This helps you narrow down the best option before you book. 

Visit the facility 

If you’re unsure, seeing the units in person can make your decision much easier. Walking through the space helps you understand scale and choose confidently.
