There are over 40 sizes of rooms available, from small lockers to rooms so large that you can place all things from your home or office in them. Less Mess Storage offers rooms with the surface area from 1 m² to 30 m², depending on location. The surface area of rooms changes incrementally every 0.5 m². The room height ranges from 2.30 m to 3 m, depending on location. The sizes, prices, and availability of rooms can be checked online at www.lessmess.storage/en/prices-booking/ We recommend watching visualizations of several rooms at www.lessmess.storage/en/size-guide/

Not only a room’s surface area, but also its height is important.

A room’s surface area is given in square meters, e.g. a room of 0.5 m² can have the following dimension: 1 m wide x 0.5 m long, and a room of 1 m²: 1m wide x 1m long. Do not forget about the height of your room, which starts from 2.30 m and, depending on location, can reach as much as 3 m. That is why it is worth stacking things on top of each other, when possible. A sofa does not have to stand like in a living room, but – properly secured – it can be placed vertically in your room. This will give you a lot more space to use, which means that you may not really need as big a room as it seems at first and a smaller room is less expensive.

In order to estimate the required size of your room, you can find animations available on our website at  www.lessmess.storage/en/size-guide/, where you can also find tips on how many things can be stored in a particular room:
