Are you living in a small apartment or house that has little space? No need to worry about it. After all, living in small spaces seems to be a growing trend. There are also certain situations that call us to be minimalistic, and it’s good to make the best of what you have. It’s not something to be anxious about though, as there are now so many solutions for creatively maximizing the space that you have to work with. Let’s discuss some of the pieces of furniture that will work very well in small spaces.
1. Ottoman with Storage
Do you need an extra seat? How about a little bit of extra storage? An ottoman with a built-in drawer is truly the best of both worlds when comes to satisfying these needs. It could be a place where you can store your magazines and your children’s toys, or perhaps even some of your clothes. The good thing about an ottoman is that the storage space it provides doesn’t have to be obvious. A nice design will just look like an ordinary seat. You’re also not limited to using it as a seat, it can also serve as a footstool, a table, or even as an extension of a couch for a makeshift bed.
2. Futon
Another type of furniture that is both functional and conducive to small living spaces the futon. At first glance it is a couch, but it can also be turned into a bed, much like a sofa bed. The difference is that a futon is usually cheaper and easier to convert back and forth. This versatile piece of furniture can be your bed if your bedroom is small and you need to make most of the space. It could also be in other places in your home instead of a couch. It could go great in your living room so that if you have your family or friends over, you will not have a problem with extra mattresses and lack of space.
3. Storage Coffee Table
It is good to know that there are many pieces of furniture that are not only used for the room to look good but also functional. Having a coffee table with extra storage can be a good addition for making your home less cluttered. The best part is that it can be really convenient for keeping commonly-used items, like TV remotes, reference books, blankets, you name it.
4. Folding Table
Tables are one of the types of furniture that are often used, whether it’s for eating or working. A folding table is handy for entertaining guests. It can also be used as a working area then folded and tucked away when not in use.
5. Folding Chair
Having extra chairs that are foldable is another great addition for homes with small spaces. They can either be used as an extra seat for visitors or folded and stowed away when the room gets too crowded. Folding chairs can be used in conjunction with the folding table, or simply stand alone as an extra chair in the dining area.
6. Floor Pillow
As the inhabitant of a small space you know it can be hard for accommodating many guests as you can quickly run out of seating options to offer them. Having a floor pillow can be a great solution and it will definitely help alleviate the lack of space for chairs. It is also a good way for the guests to feel be comfortable and at home.
