Storage planning scenario

Storage Size for a 1-Bedroom Flat

A typical one-bedroom flat can vary dramatically depending on whether it contains a full sofa, wardrobes, appliances and bulky bedroom furniture. The MoveSize preset is simply a starting inventory that you can edit.

MoveSize preset starting point

The current preset models around 75 sq ft for a practical layout and around 100 sq ft if regular access is important. This is not a recommendation for every 1-bedroom flat; change the inventory to match your belongings.

What changes the result?

  • How many sofas, wardrobes, mattresses and large appliances you are actually storing.
  • Whether bed frames, tables, shelving and wardrobes can be dismantled.
  • How tightly boxes can be stacked and whether fragile items limit stacking height.
  • Whether you need a walkway or regular access to possessions at the back of the unit.
  • The real internal dimensions and ceiling height of the specific unit offered.

Use the editable preset

Open the optimiser with the 1-bedroom flat preset loaded, then add or remove furniture and enter any storage prices you have found locally. The calculation happens in your browser and does not require your postcode, email address or a quote request.

Why not choose from the property size alone?

Two homes with the same number of bedrooms can have completely different storage requirements. One may have minimal furniture and built-in wardrobes; another may contain several freestanding wardrobes, garden equipment, desks, bikes and appliances. MoveSize therefore treats property presets as editable starting inventories rather than fixed storage rules.

Planning estimate only.
Confirm the actual internal dimensions, doorway, ceiling height, access conditions, prohibited items and storage rules with the provider before booking.
