A 10 × 15 has 50% more floor area: 150 square feet compared with 100. The same 10-foot width gains 5 feet of depth. Compare what changes for your furniture, shelves and access route.

SAME THINGS, TWO SIZES
Both drawings hold all 7 example items with a 30 inch walkway.
That leaves about 23 square feet of open floor in the 10 × 10 and about 61 in the 10 × 15. Open floor is room to spread things out or to add more later. Whether that is worth a larger space is your call, and the rate is a separate question for the location.

Illustration with example items, not a photo of a real unit. It shows label sizes and does not promise your things will fit.
Place the biggest pieces first, then try a row of shelves along one wall and boxes grouped by room. Leave the center or one edge open so you can reach the collection.
Compare a central path with a path down one side. Put boxes you will need together so getting one out does not mean moving several other stacks.
Read the 10 × 10 layout guide →Try bulky furniture toward the back, shelves along a side, and frequent-use boxes toward the entrance. Keep the groups visible from your path instead of filling every gap.
Mark a clear path from the door to the back group. Keep shelf fronts reachable and leave space to lift a box off its shelf.
Read the 10 × 15 layout guide →Start one list and try both room sizes. Place the biggest pieces, keep a path to what you need, and see if the extra 50 square feet really helps. Save your layout with a name before you try changes, so you can go back to one you liked.
A 10 × 15 has 150 square feet of floor area, compared with 100 square feet in a 10 × 10. That is 50 extra square feet, or 50% more floor area. Ceiling height and the door are checked separately.
Only if you can still use the space the way you need. Leave room for padding, safe stacking and reaching your things. A tightly packed unit can hold everything and still make every visit hard. Compare layouts you can reach into before you ask about a real unit.
No. This page compares sizes, not live prices or availability. See Bakersfield storage locations for listed prices, or ask the location for the price and terms of each unit that works, then compare the total cost and how you will use it.
