Should I get a 10x10 or 10x15 storage unit?

Choose a 10x10 (100 sq ft) for a full one-bedroom apartment with an aisle. Choose a 10x15 (150 sq ft) for a two to three bedroom home with two beds, a sectional, and appliances. A small two-bedroom is the overlap.

Is a 10x10 big enough for a two-bedroom?

A lightly furnished two-bedroom can fit a 10x10 only by sacrificing the aisle and stacking high. Most two-bedrooms with two full bedroom sets and a sectional are more comfortable in a 10x15.

What is the difference between a 10x10 and a 10x15?

A 10x10 is 100 sq ft and a 10x15 is 150 sq ft, both 10 ft wide and 8 ft tall. The 10x15 adds 5 ft of depth, roughly 400 cu ft, which is about one extra bedroom set.
