More space without moving: In Prague, more and more people are discovering self storage as a flexible solution to their lack of space. Instead of accepting higher rents for larger flats, they store furniture, clothing or business inventory externally – on a short-term and needs-based basis.
Rising rents, smaller flats and the trend towards working from home are presenting many people in Prague with a very practical problem: where to put all the things for which there is simply no room in everyday life? Whereas in the past mainly moves or major life changes were the reason to rent additional storage space, today more and more city residents are turning to self storage solutions for other reasons.
Whether renovation, downsizing living space or the desire for a separate working area within one’s own four walls – external storage units offer an alternative to the costly move to a larger flat. Instead of paying permanently higher rent, many Prague residents temporarily store seasonal clothing, sports equipment, furniture or files.

One provider in Prague is the Czech-Polish company Less Mess Storage. With three modern locations in Holešovice, Dejvice and Pankrác, the company caters both to private individuals and to smaller firms – for example from e-commerce, renovation teams or commercial agents.
Flexible rental period and wide selection
A central advantage of self storage is its high degree of flexibility. The storage units are suitable both for short-term projects and for longer periods. Unlike traditional warehouses, which are often associated with large logistics companies, the concept is deliberately aimed at private individuals and smaller businesses.

The range is also evident in terms of size: more than 40 different units are available – from small 0.5 square metre lockers to rooms measuring 30 square metres. This means that individual boxes can be stored just as easily as complete flat furnishings or stock from growing online shops.
Security and access around the clock
When choosing a provider, security and accessibility play a central role. Around-the-clock access, monitored facilities and climate-controlled rooms are, according to the company, among the most important standards. This is intended to ensure that both sensitive items and business inventory are reliably protected.
The booking process is deliberately kept simple: interested parties can seek advice on site or access all information online – including details on sizes, capacities and conditions. This allows the appropriate unit to be selected without having to leave the house.

In view of the ongoing pressure on space in the Czech capital, the topic of self storage in Prague is likely to continue gaining importance – as a pragmatic solution to an urban problem.
