How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size

When planning to store your belongings—whether you’re moving, decluttering, or managing business stock—selecting the correct unit size is crucial. Storage Units come in all shapes and sizes, but the perfect fit depends on what you're storing, how often you need access, and how much you're willing to spend. At StoreIT, we offer a wide selection of unit sizes, flexible rental plans, and premium service designed to meet your needs right here in Dubai.

Why Storage Size Matters

Selecting the right unit size helps you avoid paying for unused space or cramming items too tightly, which can damage them or make access difficult. With clear size options, StoreIT ensures your belongings are secure, accessible, and well-organized—whether it’s family heirlooms, seasonal gear, or business inventory.

35 sq ft – 7 × 5 × 8.8 ft (Small Closet)

If you need a compact space, our 35 sq ft units are ideal—about the size of a small walk-in closet. Perfect for off-season clothes, a few boxes, suitcases, or small home electronics.

Looking for storage rental units that won’t break the bank? This size is one of the most affordable and ideal for short-term, light-duty storage needs.

50 sq ft – Closet or Small Shed

Need just a little more breathing room? A 50 sq ft unit is great for storing:

• Small furniture like armchairs or side tables

• Medium appliances or sports equipment

• Multiple boxes of books, toys, or holiday items

These dimensions suit studio or small apartment storage needs, delivering value and space efficiency.

75 sq ft – Walk-in-Closet Upgrade

Our mid-sized option gives you a step up—enough room to store a queen mattress, large pieces of furniture, and boxes. Great for transitional storage or seasonal living arrangements.

Larger Options: 100 – 300 sq ft

100 sq ft – Half Garage – One-Bedroom Apartment

Perfect if you're relocating or storing an entire one-bedroom household. Typical contents include:

• Couch, dining set, TV

• Washer/dryer or fridge

• Boxes of kitchenware, books, and decor

This storage rental unit gives you the peace of mind to store an entire apartment’s worth without overpaying for a larger space.

150 sq ft – Full Bedroom – Two‑Bedroom Home

Need to store furnishings from two bedrooms plus appliances? The 150 sq ft size handles:

• Beds, nightstands, dressers

• Major appliances and outdoor gear

• Shelving units or business inventory

It’s an excellent pick for families during moves, renovations, or downsizing.

200 sq ft – Small‑Garage Size – Three‑Bedroom Home

For more substantial storage needs, this size accommodates a larger household:

• Sectional sofas, multiple appliances

• Workout equipment, garden tools

• Boxes of archived documents and seasonal gear

Ideal for longer-term storage or remodel phases.

300 sq ft – Large‑Garage Size – Four‑ to Five‑Bedroom Home

Need seriously spacious storage? This is the biggest residential-style unit we offer. Use it for:

• Entire household contents

• Multiple appliances, furniture sets

• Business equipment and bulk inventory

Moving, renovating, or downsizing with no compromise on space—this is your go-to option.

Choose by Frequency of Access and Organization

How often you need to access your unit matters:

• Frequent access: Leave an aisle for easy movement, place frequently used items at the front, and avoid overstacking.

• Long-term storage: Pack vertically, use sturdy shelving, and stack heavier boxes at the bottom.

Whatever your access pattern, our storage services include 24/7 CCTV, trolleys, and loading facilities to make visits smooth and stress-free.

Climate Control & Protection

Dubai’s heat demands smart storage decisions:

• Sensitive items (electronics, wooden furniture, documents) need controlled temperature and humidity.

• StoreIT offers climate-controlled units across all sizes to preserve your valuables against extreme heat and moisture.

If you’re comparing storage services in Dubai, make sure to select a provider with robust climate control offerings, like ours.

Business Use: Document, Inventory, or Equipment Storage

Entrepreneurs, take note: each unit can be tailored to business use.

• Small units (35–50 sq ft): Perfect for paperwork, files, or marketing materials.

• Medium units (75–150 sq ft): Serve as inventory storage or overflow office space.

• Large units (200–300 sq ft): Ideal for full-scale e-commerce goods, retail overstock, office move support, or equipment storage.

At StoreIT, our storage rental units for business blend climate control, security, and easy access, ensuring operational continuity and inventory management.

Flexible Rental Plans

At StoreIT, you can pick daily, monthly, or annual rental terms:

• Short-term: Great for travel, staging a home, or temporary office moves.

• Long-term: Ideal for storage during sabbaticals, long assignments, or business growth.
