As a rough guide, allow around 20 crates for a studio, 30 for a one bedroom, 40 for a two bedroom, 55 for a three bedroom, 75 for a four bedroom and 100 for a five bedroom home.
A room by room feel
- Kitchen: 8 to 12 crates (crockery, pans, food, small appliances)
- Each bedroom: 6 to 10 crates (clothes, bedding, personal items)
- Living room: 6 to 10 crates (books, media, ornaments)
- Bathroom, hallway, study: 2 to 4 crates each
When to size up
If you are between sizes, always size up. Spare crates cost very little on a flat price package and it is far less stressful than running short on moving day. Heavy items like books and kitchenware fill crates quickly.
