Buying storage boxes online is easy. Buying the right size is harder: too big and it won't fit the shelf, too small and you need three. This guide matches box sizes to the places Singapore homes usually need them.
Step 1: measure the space first
Measure the width, depth and height of the shelf, cabinet or gap you want to fill, and leave about 2cm spare on each side so the box slides in and out easily. Litres tell you how much a box holds; the outside measurements tell you whether it fits.
Small boxes (0.3L to 5L): drawers, cabinets and desks
For cables, stationery, make-up, medicine and small kitchen items. The Stackable Clear Storage Box comes in mini sizes from 0.3L to 4.4L, so several fit side by side inside one drawer. For a box you can pull out like a drawer, the Stackable Pull-Out Drawer Box starts at 5L.
Medium boxes (10L to 30L): wardrobe shelves and under the sink
This is the most useful size for folded clothes, towels, toys and cleaning supplies.
- Stackable Clear Wardrobe Drawer Box: 10L, 18L and 24L drawers, plus larger 30L to 66L sizes with a lock, in clear or tawny.
- Stackable Pull-Out Drawer Box: 10L, 18L and 24L, clear or tea colour.
- ViewFold Linen Storage Box: foldable fabric box with handles, from 6.7L (30 x 15 x 15cm) to 47L (52 x 30 x 30cm). Folds flat when you don't need it.
Large boxes (40L to 130L): store room, top of the wardrobe, under the bed
For spare bedding for guests, CNY and Christmas decorations, kids' outgrown clothes and things you only need a few times a year.
- Stackable Clear Storage Box: 40L, 55L, 80L and 105L, so you can see what's inside without opening it.
- RollaBox Large Storage Box with Wheels: 80L, 120L and 130L. The wheels make heavy boxes easy to pull out from the store room or under the bed.
- Heavy Duty Collapsible Stackable Storage Box (60 x 40cm): folds down when empty, with or without a cover.
Clear or fabric?
Clear plastic boxes let you see what's inside and are easy to wipe clean, which suits kitchens, bathrooms and store rooms. Fabric boxes look softer on open shelves and fold flat when empty. For bulky bedding, pillows and overseas-trip jackets, vacuum storage bags save the most space.
Frequently asked questions
Can I stack the boxes?
Yes, the boxes named "stackable" are made to sit on top of each other. Put the heaviest box at the bottom and keep the stack to a height you can reach safely.
Which box is best for clothes?
For folded clothes on a wardrobe shelf, an 18L to 24L drawer box is easy to pull out without unstacking. For spare bedding, guest pillows or jackets you only take on overseas trips, use a large box or vacuum bags.
Which box is best for toys?
Medium clear boxes (15L to 25L) let children see where each toy goes. For big toys, a box with wheels is easier for small hands to move.
