Living in a small space doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice when it comes to your home’s style. Even if you’re working with limited square footage, you can still have a beautiful, comfortable and inviting living area. It may just take a little more creativity and planning than if you had a sprawling space to work with.
If you have a compact living space, we’ve got your back. At Apt2B Modern Furniture, we specialize in furniture and decor for apartments, condos and small houses. While we offer a range of furniture sizes and styles, we have some of the best options for maximizing style and storage in compact living areas. Learn more about how to make a big impact in a small space.
Find Furniture That Fits
If you’re trying to style a small space, one of the most challenging things is finding furniture with the right dimensions. A compact living room, for example, likely can’t accommodate a large sectional sofa. But how can you still provide enough seating for you and your guests?
At Apt2B Modern Furniture, it’s easy to discover pieces that not only look great but actually work for the square footage you’re working with. For example, we make it easy to shop for sofas by size. We also have a selection of compact sofas, including apartment-size sectionals. You can even find a compact sleeper sofa that allows your living room to double as a guest room when you have overnight visitors. When it comes to coffee tables and side tables, avoid oversized pieces and opt for nesting tables that can be tucked away when not in use.
This principle applies beyond the living room. For the dining room, round tables often take up less space than square and rectangular ones designed to seat the same number of people. You can also choose an extendable table that takes up less space when you have fewer people using it.
Look for Built-In Storage
Small homes tend to have less storage space available. They might feature fewer closets or lack the types of bonus storage spaces that larger homes have, such as garages, attics and basements. The good news is that storage furniture can provide more room to store your belongings without taking up extra floor space.
At Apt2B Modern Furniture, we provide stylish storage solutions to help with this common problem. For the living room, you can find certain chaise lounges and ottomans with a cushion that lifts up to reveal hidden storage space. Sideboards are another smart storage furniture option since they can double as a TV stand while also providing lots of space for organizing gaming controllers, board games and more. Other options for storage furniture include bed frames with built-in drawers, bookcases and bar carts.
Avoid Overfilling the Room
As you shop for the best furniture for small spaces, you’ll want to keep things as simple as possible. You might find several pieces of versatile and chic storage furniture, for instance, but if the room can’t accommodate all of them, they won’t help your home feel more functional. Avoid creating a crowded feeling in the room by carefully choosing pieces that won’t overwhelm the space.
