Living Small in Edinburgh
Living small in Edinburgh? Space runs out fast. If you’re in a flat in Marchmont, a small studio in Leith, or sharing an apartment near Fountainbridge, you know the feeling. That’s why many locals turn to self storage to take control of their space.
At Storage Vault Edinburgh keeps it simple. Our self storage in Newbridge and surrounds is clean, safe, and easy to use. Whether you’re a student, a family, or a small business, you can use it to get extra space without the hassle. Big units or small ones. Short-term or long-term. In either case, you pick what works. It’s flexible, affordable, and gives you room to breathe.
Make Room to Live
If you’re living small in Edinburgh, your home should still feel like home. Not a place to stash boxes, old gear or last year’s winter coats.
With that in mind, Storage Vault helps you make space where it counts. Store the overflow in a clean, dry self storage unit and take some pressure off your living space. For example, whether it’s a couple of suitcases or everything from a spare room, we’ve got a space that will work for you.
You’ll find us at 9 Harvest Road in Newbridge. It’s just off the M9 and only 10 minutes from Edinburgh Airport. As a result, we’re easy to reach from the city centre, the suburbs, or wherever you’re headed next.

Student Life, Sorted
Edinburgh is packed with students from across the UK and beyond. Whether you’re at Edinburgh Uni, Heriot-Watt, Napier, or Queen Margaret, self storage can make things easier. In particular, it’s a handy option when you’re moving between term-time flats or heading home for the holidays.
- Our student-friendly self storage units are:
- Close to university campuses and student housing
- Open 24/7 with keypad entry
- Great for short stays
- Affordable, with 50% off your first 2 months
Need to grab something before an exam? You can get to your stuff any time, day or night.
What Can You Store?
A student storage unit can hold pretty much everything you’d normally squeeze into a small flat or dorm room. For instance, you can store:
- Books, notes, and study supplies
- Clothes and bedding
- Kitchen stuff and small appliances
- Sports gear or hobby equipment
- Furniture, decorations, and electronics
Just avoid storing food, flammables, or anything you really can’t replace. If you’re unsure, we’ll talk you through it when you visit.
Travelling or In Between Flats?
If you’re taking a gap year, travelling over summer, or between flats, we’ve got you covered. Self storage gives you a safe place to keep your stuff. Furthermore, with month-to-month rentals, you’re never locked into a long contract.
Edinburgh Moves Made Easy
Planning a big move? Maybe you’re upgrading from a flat in the city to a family home in Corstorphine. Or downsizing after years in a tenement in Bruntsfield. Either way, self storage can make the move easier.
Choose a unit that fits what you need:
- 50 sq ft: Works well for a one-bedroom flat
- 100 sq ft: Great for a full three-bedroom house move
Need quick access? Our drive-up units make loading easy. That means no lifts and no hassle.
Storage Tips for Edinburgh Locals
To get the best value, follow these simple tips:
- Don’t pay for more space than you need. If you’re living small in Edinburgh, every square foot matters. Use our online calculator to find the right unit size.
- Pack smart. Use strong boxes, bubble wrap, and don’t overload.
- Label everything. Write what’s inside on each box so you can find things fast.
- Stack with care. Put heavy stuff at the bottom and lighter things on top.
- Leave room to move. Keep a walkway so you can reach the back without moving it all.
