10x15 storage unit guide
A 10x15 storage unit — 150 square feet — is a popular mid-size option, typically holding a 2-bedroom apartment or small house. Here's what fits, what it costs, and when to size up or down from here.
What fits in a 10x15
- A full living room set (sofa, chairs, coffee table, TV stand)
- A complete bedroom set — bed, dresser, nightstands
- A dining table and chairs
- 20-30 boxes, depending on how much furniture is also stored
- Some larger appliances, though a full kitchen's worth is more of a stretch at this size
Typical cost
A 10x15 typically runs $140-$230/month, though this varies by location — see our self-storage cost guide for the full breakdown by size and region.
When to size up or down from 10x15
If you're storing mostly boxes with minimal furniture, a 10x10 might be enough and save some monthly cost. If you have a 3-bedroom home's worth of belongings, or a lot of larger furniture and appliances, size up to 10x20. When genuinely unsure, err toward the larger size — it costs less than a second unit or a frustrating game of storage Tetris.
Making the most of a 10x15
Leave a walkway down the middle if you'll need to access items regularly — a 10x15 fully packed floor-to-ceiling is efficient for space but frustrating to dig through. Store items you'll need first (or last, depending on the situation) near the door, and heavier, rarely-needed boxes toward the back.
Frequently asked questions
What size home fits in a 10x15 storage unit?
A 10x15 unit (150 sq ft) typically fits a 2-bedroom apartment or a small house, including furniture and a full set of boxes.
Is 10x15 a common size to find available?
Yes — it's one of the more commonly stocked mid-range sizes at most facilities, generally easier to find on short notice than the largest units.
Should I go with 10x15 or 10x10 if I'm unsure?
If you're genuinely unsure and can afford the modest price difference, size up to 10x15 — a too-small unit forcing a second rental usually costs more than the extra monthly cost of the larger size.
Can I fit a couch and bedroom set in a 10x15?
Yes, a 10x15 comfortably fits a full living room set, a bedroom set, and a reasonable number of boxes — it's sized for a genuine apartment's worth of furniture, not just a few pieces.
