Mastering the art of maximizing small spaces is a skill that involves creatively utilising every available inch of room to create a functional and visually appealing environment. With urban living on the rise and cozy apartments becoming the norm, selecting the right furniture can make all the difference. Whether you’re in a snug studio or a compact apartment, strategic furniture choices can create a sense of openness and functionality.
Keep it Simple
When it comes to furnishing a small space, simplicity is your best friend. Opt for sofas with skinny arms and a tight, upholstered back. Say goodbye to the bulky, fat-armed couches of old; Sleeker options like our Arna Lifestyle 3 Seater not only save space but also exude a modern charm.
For dining tables, look for designs with slender legs that take up minimal visual weight. The Adele Dining Table, with its simple and practical design, ticks all the right boxes.
Built-In Storage
Space-saving furniture should be as practical as it is stylish. Seek out pieces that offer built-in storage solutions. The Storage Ottoman with hidden compartments provides a clever way to stow away items. This keeps them out of sight and frees up more floor space.
Furthermore, tables with drawers or shelves can hold daily essentials without cluttering the surface. Our Manto Coffee Table is not only a sleek addition to your living room, but it also holds enough storage.
Multi-Tasking Furniture
In small spaces, every piece of furniture should earn its keep. Embrace multi-functional designs that serve more than one purpose. The York – Sofa & Sofa Bed, for example, serves as a comfortable seating area during the day and transforms into a pull-out bed when guests stay over.
Get creative with your choices; a dresser can double as a nightstand, and a storage cart can become a mobile kitchen island. Along the same line, our Brooklyn Hall Table, with its black iron frame, fits in any room seamlessly, from the kitchen to the living room.
By integrating these versatile pieces, you’ll make the most of your limited space.
Low-Slung Furniture
Furniture with a low profile is a smart solution for small rooms. Low-slung pieces like the Adele Coffee Table create the illusion of higher ceilings, making the space feel airier.
This design trick not only opens up the room visually but also provides a more relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Remember, it’s not just about how much floor space you have; it’s also about how the space appears and feels.
Stackable Pieces
When floor space is at a premium, think vertical. Opt for stackable furniture that can be easily stored when not in use. Stools and dining chairs that stack neatly can be pulled out when needed and tucked away when the dining area is not in use.
Our Vico Dining Setting, compact and modern, can be a great solution for maximising small spaces. Its stackable stools and dining chairs provide flexible seating options that can be stored away when not needed.
Move it to the Walls
One of the golden rules for furnishing small spaces is to move furniture toward the walls. This tactic leaves the center of the room open, creating an illusion of more space. Install bookshelves directly on the wall, maximising vertical storage without encroaching on the floor area.
Or you could move the table directly to the wall. Made from American Oak, the Adele Buffet, with its sleek frame, could be pushed directly to the walls.
